All Hail Indie Gaming!

Indie games are nothing new, they have been rattling about since shareware (the first independent distribution solution). Recently though, there has been a trend towards the quirky and the creative. Steam started the trend and the console market followed suit. With such an vast selection of titles. its hard to stumble on the game for you! so hears my little run down of my top five indie games.

Castle Crashers
This game seems to do everything for me. From the stunning art direction to the flowing game play. using mechanics from classic titles like Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, it delivers a fast paced button mashing adventure from start to finish.
 

World of Goo

A simple puzzle based game. With a witty involving narrative to drive the game play. Get the Goo Balls home with bridge building skills and creative solutions. If your a fan of lemmings you best check this out.







Lucius

The dark Gothic tale of the son of Satan murdering his way though his stately home. What could be more fun! this Lovecraftien story of murder and occultism is bound to engage. Once you've burnt a mans face with an oven or crushed a dude under a piano, you will know point and click will never be the same again. 

Trine 2
A graphically pleasing 2.4D side scrolling Adventure game. This beautifully executed gaming experience is topped off with challenging puzzles and tense combat. Inspired by the Lost Vikings games of ages past. Trine 2 delevers a not to be missed experience.

Hotline Miami
This weird and twisted talke brings you into a bad trip of a game. Spectrum inspire graphics and sound plunge you into a dark game of mass murders and 8-Bit madness. Defiantly one to check out if your a fan of house masks

battlefield heros- free to play goodness

I'm not one to like free to play games. There on the hole, clones of other much better paid for games. In the case of battlefield heroes. This clone element doesn't really come into it unless you count the art direction straight ripped off the fantastic team fortress, but we can give that a overlook if the games up to par right?

Correct! this game is fantastic! the stranded battlefield game play moved to a 3rd person prospective. With a crazy range of cookie weapons and customization. You have yourself a cartoon slaughter-fest!

The client downloaded swiftly and I was straight into a match. Expect a mixed range of player ability's in game as this reaches out to the more casual market. There's a good selection of game types on offer and the ability to actually push advance into a real-time battle map is a cleaver addintion.

The store has many good items for sale both game credits and prepay credit items. Unlike allot of games you can complete questionnaires and earn yourself actual game credits to be spent in store. The range of clothing to rig your little G.I. Out in is impressive. Theirs a hole host of weapons and kit!

I highley recomend this game! seeings as its free, you should just see for yourself!
