Bloobles Game Review by Josh Komon
Game Rating =3/5
Many moons ago, fans of puzzle games were treated to a game called, “Lemmings.” Now, players can enjoy a similar experience with a new title, “Bloobles.” It is not the same exact game, but the similarities are unmistakable.
VVVVVV is an interesting name for a downloadable game. Likely, it was chosen to represent the spike strips that litter each stage of this classic style puzzle adventure. The creators of this game took many chances in design, relying more on game play than spiffy graphics. It might have been a worthwhile gamble.
A new indie game company out of Seattle called Strange Loop Games released this trailer for their platform game Vessel. It looks very interesting and may be an early favorite for Game of the year 2010. They plan to release the game during the 3rd or 4th Quarter this year.

Do you like Gnomes? Do you like Goblins? Do you like Gnomes beating the ever-loving Snot out of Goblins? Then you will love Emberwinds. Emberwinds is a 2D-action platform game from indie developer TimeTrap. While the game sports an interesting visual style and entertaining gameplay, it seems somewhat unpolished. (more…)

Archibald’s Adventures by Rake in Grass is a 3D platform game, ideal for kids ranging from 5-10 years. It’s the story of a boy named ‘Archibald’ or ‘Archie’ who ‘lives in a small town not so far from you’. In a skate board face off with his friends, he is led to a dangerous junkyard which is next to a mad professor’s mansion, where he dumps the toxic chemicals from his experiments. By a freak accident, he lands inside the Professor’s underground, humongous lab, ‘Sector 215′, where some of the professor’s experiments have gone wrong and Archie suggests to help Professor Klumpfus set things right.
Gunbolt, a game by fledgling Indie developer Stratobit, gives an impression of being a super-low-budget title right from the opening. An arpeggio of midi guitar sounds, a low resolution 3D sprite slides onscreen, and an obviously cobbled-together opening cut scene plays at an agonizingly slow pace. Unfortunately, the impression never wore off.
