Overall, Dead Pixels is a must buy. Despite most zombie games catering to a specific audience, Dead Pixels does a great job of opening it up to everyone, giving each something great. It is a great 2D action arcade style game, with deep RPG elements. The combat is amazing, the controls are good and John Common did a fantastic job of crating a small world with such great ambiance.
Indie Gamer Chick is gathering support for a collection of XBLIG titles to be released for current gen platforms, giving gamers the chance to play them again.
Perhaps ironically, many of these games are rarely played by people who still enjoy videogames from the days of the arcade and systems like the NES and Sega Genesis. This list covers retro-inspired indie titles that deserve more attention. We’ve excluded more well-known games, such as Super Meat Boy and Shovel Knight, from consideration. Also note that many of the listed games are free. Finally, this list isn’t definitive; it only covers games that we believe are as good as or better than the retro-inspired games that get most of the hype.
