• Game: Bailout!

What’s more perfect during these economical troubles than a game called Bailout!? The premise is simple, collect money falling from the sky while avoiding suicidal stockbrokers at the same time. It’s fun and simple; a great game to pass the time when you’re feeling bored.

XBL Indies: Bored Meeting Review

My mind must currently be in a bad place, I find "Getting pounded" to be quite amusing.

• Game: Bored Meeting
• Developer: Steven Jones
• Price: 80MS Points ($1.00)
• Release Date: 2/25/2009

Bored Meeting has a lot in common with ChuChu Rocket!, which happens to be a good thing. The game plays a lot like the classic Dreamcast title and is enjoyable when playing with friends. The problem with Bored Meeting is that it features no true single-player experience; you can only play the multi-player mode by yourself.

XBL Indies: SpaceAttack Review

This is SpaceAttack...better known as Asteroids.

• Game: SpaceAttack
• Developer: Ben3DX
• Price: 80MS Points ($1.00)
• Release Date: 2/25/2009

SpaceAttack is Asteroids; it’s that simple. There is no denying that the game is anything other than a straight up Asteroids-clone. The main differences are that SpaceAttack manages to control worse and look worse at the same time. It may only cost a dollar, but I’d recommend dropping the extra money on Asteroids & Deluxe if you’re really looking for an Asteroids-type game. If Asteroids is only worth a dollar to you, you’ll probably be satisfied with SpaceAttack.

The PSP Go: Now an Even Bigger Rip-off

Kaz Hirai is currently thinking about how he can screw every PSP owner even more!

Just when you thought the PSP Go couldn't get any worse, Sony decides to add another kick to the balls. It seems that there will be no UMD transfer program for all those early supporters of the PSP. That means that every single UMD is essentially worthless now. I must thank Sony for giving me yet another reason to never buy a PSP Go.

XBL Indies: Advanced Rock Paper Scissors Review

It may be called Advanced Rock Paper Scissors, but there are no rocks, paper, or scissors in sight.

• Game: Advanced Rock Paper Scissors
• Developer: North West
• Price: 80MS Points ($1.00)
• Release Date: 8/12/2009

Advanced Rock Paper Scissors takes the familiar formula and removes the rocks, paper, and scissors. The game takes those familiar elements and replaces them with fire, earth, and water. It’s an interesting twist and the game inevitably benefits from this simple change.
