Video Chums: Paper Mario: The Origami King is a hilarious game with a ton of variety in its world and a clever new puzzle-based battle system. There's so much fun to be had that if you don't already own a Switch, this will act as a fantastic reason to go out and get one.
Ten Indie Games open the show featuring Sky Ninja War, Mr. Gravity, bumblepig, Battle For Venga Islands, Hangman 360, Akane the Kunoichi, Avatar Legends, UpBot Goes Up, PaperCraft, and Echoes+. Craig takes a look at the co-op play in Outland and Gatling Gears, everybody gets a sampling of Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale, and Jeremy and Sean check out the latest Pinball FX2 offering with Fantastic Four. Sean and Jeremy both fail to get more time with Brink, Sean spent a bit of time with LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, Jeremy gets a sampling of The First Templar, and Sean and Jeremy both try to get all the facts with L.A. Noire.
CFD!'s Rob Rich takes a closer look at one of the Xbox Live Indie Games:
"On the surface, PaperCraft looks like a fairly typical top-down arcade shooter with paper graphics. Okay, paper graphics aren’t typical, but stick with me. The missions look and play like one would expect from just about any entry into the genre, but there’s a different sort of framework underneath it all; a handful of design decisions that make it more than “ordinary.” Whether or not it should be considered “extraordinary” will depend largely on an individual’s love for shmups, but no one can deny that it’s unique at the very least. Well, no one should deny it, anyway."
According to McDonald's commercials a vast knowledge of things that cost a dollar will help get me laid, so I'm glad I can add this to my knowledge base.
indiePub has published its weekly list of new and notable Xbox Live indie games.
From the article:
"Best best this week look to be tilty puzzler Mr. Gravity, multiplayer plane game Paper Craft, adorable flying bee-pig shooter bumblepig, side-scrolling fighter Sky Ninja War, save-the-center shooter Nucleon and the Minesweeper-style puzzle game called Bomb Locker."
The channel nobody takes very seriously due to 99% of it being dire.Wake up MS and promote better the really good amongst all this. MS and the community should also come together a bit more on the idea that truly pointless worthless trash software shouldn't pass review .xbla in fairness also has it's fair share of forgettable duffers released regularly
Some great stuff on here - i own around 10 Indie games - but the better of games stand less of a chance thanks to most of the other sh!te.No different i guess than how the Wii struggles this way but it's actually worse on xbox indie
If you can be bothered to research for games of worth on indie then you will eventually find genuinely excellent ones here, but lets be honest, most dickheads using xbox don't even know about xbla, let alone the indie channel
And to think it really could have been the Youtube of games this way
Both the fault of community for making 99% of the bollocks and a failure from MS that allows too much easy access to so called game designers that release these abominations. Talent in the form of those that know the art of programming thrown away on useless trashy games that waste everybodies time
That said, if you don't ever visit the indie channel every so often, you will genuinely miss out on the occasional gem here
Also worth noting that Dragon Forge is 100% not worth any of your money.My personal opinion of course but unless the full game offers precisely 100,000 times more fun than i had from the trial, i can't see it.Excellent graphics though on your dragon
