If you follow me on Twitter or have spotted the site tagline you will have noticed we will have a new domain name soon. I will announce the domain name on Sunday night once the DNS has updated. The new domain is quite catchy and I hope you will like it as everyone that I have mentioned it to did. Now onto the round up of indie game news from the past few days.

UberGeekGames posted a new trailer of their Dream.Build.Play 2010 entry Avatar Land. It is a traditional 2D platform game with a level editor and looks very good, another to keep an eye out for! You can view the trailer here or below.
glPeas posted a new video of their game BlindGiRl, it is hard to describe the game but it appears to be a puzzle game where you must use sound waves to navigate a maze. A very original idea so one to keep an eye out for. You can view the trailer here or below.
Funavision posted a video of their in development and currently untitled game which is a bit like Space Invaders but more modern. I liked the look of this and should be a nice release. Check out the video here.
XBLA & XBLIG Ratings posted an announcement for a forthcoming indie game called JoyJoy. JoyJoy is an intense twin-stick shooter with a beautiful art style, upbeat soundtrack, and immensely satisfying and customizable gameplay. Full details and the trailer can be found here.
XBLA & XBLIG Ratings posted an announcement for the forthcoming Tower Defense style game called Scribble Defense. Players move around as avatars, money is not automatically deposited, it has to be picked up, towers are effectively “upgraded” if the player is within their attack distance, as well as movable waypoints. Sounds an interesting idea, check out the full details and trailer here.
Here is a round up of indie game reviews from other sites, any with a number means a second review: MotorHEAT (2), Nasty, Hypno Vol. 1, Soulcaster (2), Canno Blast, Shoot 1UP, Kaotik, Avatar Showdown (2), Pixel Killer and Wordzy.
Finally a mention to Two Fedoras who review indie games and I only just found their site, visit them!
