Bungee Ninja!
Possibly 2 words you would never normally use in the same sentence, but hey maybe there is a small group of elite fighting bungee ninjas somewhere. Getting passed that, this is funny indie game that reminds me of using the ninja rope on Worms. You have to swing around the level collecting the gem ...
HL2 Mod: Research and Development
Along with being a rather large indie game fan, I also love mods. Mods are games that are built using another game as a base. Its one of the best things about PC Gaming, the mod community is also huge so there is always new games to be found.
Half Life wasn't the first game to get modded, but i ...
Command and Conquer this!
There are a lot of C&C fans around the world, but I know some of these new kids to gaming probably werent even born when C&C Red Alert was first released. Red Alert really set the standard for frantic strategic battles, I remember playing C&C at work, one of my first network'ed multipla ...
1 boy + 1 monster = Aether
Aether just sums up why I love indie games. Its because the people who make them are not far off from being either genius or taken away by men in white coats, I think this game ballances these two things perfectly.
Stuck on earth a lonely boy longs to see more, and quite amazing finds a monster ...
Happy 20th Anniversary Seinfeld!
"Are you sponge-worthy?" If you understand that question, then you’ll love this article!
Since 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the first episode of Seinfeld, I thought it was only fitting to write an article to pay tribute to one of the best sitcoms ever created.
I think I have eve ...

Aftermath is another high quality and award winning indie RTS! You can download it for free and the full version is a small $9.99 from Gamesfactions website.

Ragdoll Cannon
Hand drawn stuff is great, with games like Crayon physics and lots of websites now getting this look there is just something fun about it.
Now this game bases its self in a blueprint style world, where you have to "help" your little rag doll people to their goal of a small marked target. The int ...
Kung Fu too!
Well its Kung Fu 2 actually, but hey. Anyway its a beat'em up! Kung Fu first appeared on the NES way back in 1984, but a team of indie dudes could not let it pass away, so they made Kung Fu 2!
Most important of all - it has all the right noises!
Get it from there website: Kung Fu 2 Download ...

Check out the new Pacemaker! Stuff magazine calls it the Ultimate Portable DJ. Its sleek, its compact and its powerful. Pacemaker’s two independent audio channels let you play two tracks side by side. Beatmatching is easily done by the click of a button, and with a full set of profession ...
Osmos – Grow Your Sphere
Osmos is another strange indie game with an obviously play on the word Osmosis... The idea is to grow as big as possible by absorbing the motes around you, moving makes you smaller but you have to balance moving with growing - like I said strange... Satisfying though!
I'm sure the video will hel ...
Dave’s iPhone Sneak Peek
Found this old clip of David Letterman Show where he gave the audience a sneak peek of the then new iPhone 8 gig. Its hilarious and really had fun watching the old clip. It's just great that we have some cool people who actually saved the clips on You Tube for us who missed it can still enjoy some ...
Thinking outside the box
What kind of person would even think to record the sounds you can make using nature as your instruments? Diego Stocco blew me away when I stumbled upon this fab recording of him making music using a tree in his garden. Not only are the sounds astounding and wonderful to listen to, but the recording ...
Tribes Next
Tribes 2 was my first online gaming experience. With smoke pouring from my overused 56k modem I played with pings of over 400ms (which in gamer-land is suicide when trying to shoot someone) and loved every second. Then Tribes Vengeance came out, and Tribes 2 support slowed until it was completel ...
Talking Trash
Trash is another wonderful indie game, it started life in 2000 by a small team of developers who have seen a lot of praise for them. Although the graphics are a little dated, as they admit - and they do want to overhaul them, the game is smooth and fast.
One of the interesting things about Tras ...
And Thrust! hmmm that sounds wrong…
It’s not a command, it’s a game! Yes another game from Rob, but you know I am a gamer and I like to push these things - hopefully you guys like them too!
Thrust is a game where you are the spaceship affected by gravity, you have to use your thruster’s skills to defy sa ...
