It's Women's History Month so it's an appropriate time to check out some fantastic indies with impressive heroines. These chums may not be as iconic as Lara Croft but there's no denying that they kick ass so let's get straight to the games!
(Sigh) all obvious examples of women being used as sexual objects. I'm sure Weinstein put the developers up to this.
Just a little AM sarcasm.

But occasionally the repetitive nature of these games gets the best of us, leaving the world crying out for something different, something even more unique. Two things that Boiling Bolt has in abundance."
It's been over 36 years since the arcade classic Defender released and indie developers are still inspired by its simplistic yet enjoyable gameplay. Boiling Bolt certainly feels like a classic arcade game but is it worth your hard-earned quarters?
