Vacation Vexation is in the running for most annoying game of 2013. The game is charming on the surface with its child mischief and arcade nostalgia, but Nostatic Software forgets game balance, delivering an “experimental” puzzler that too often feels like a prison.
indiePub has published its weekly update of new and notable indie games on Xbox Live's indie game channel (a.k.a. XBLIG).
Best bets this week include: Ultimate Drunken Warrior, a fighting game with a 16-player tournament mode; Produce Wars, a physics puzzle-platformer where you must save a princess; Block Editor, where you can create and share your 3D block images; and Killer Crypt, an old-school platformer where you must defeat an ancient vampire.
