Xbox Indie Game Round Up – Episode 130

This weeks Xbox Indie Game Round Up includes Angry Fish, Dead Pixels, Avatar Street Basketball 2 and Figure 8 Racing.

A quick note to say next weeks Round Up will on Monday or Tuesday as I will be covering the Eurogamer Expo. Below is our compilation video showing gameplay from the weeks releases. Please take a look and don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheGamergeddon.

Up next are this weeks releases sorted in a rough order on how good they are over three categories. Trial impressions have been wrote for the Geddon it! category games and they are a must try and/or buy. Armehgeddon is a category that has some games that are worth considering at least playing the trial to see if you like them, they are by no means bad. The final category, Armageddon outta here!, contains games that are probably not worth the time unless something sounds interesting to you. Both the Armehgeddon and Armageddon outta here! use the developers game descriptions.

Geddon It!

Angry Fish – 80 :MSPoints: – Marketplace

[singlepic id=7973 w=320 h=240 float=center]

Is there such thing as too much Angry Birds? Probably, but until the popularity dies down we keep getting suckered in 😉 Angry Fish is a Angry Birds style game and is the sequel to FishCraft. It is Fish vs Cats and follows the same formula where you must kill the enemy by firing into the structures to destroy them. Graphics and sound are good quality and while there are only 42 levels it does cost 80 :MSPoints: so it’s a reasonable price.

Dead Pixels – 80 :MSPoints: – MarketplaceTrailer

[singlepic id=7964 w=320 h=240 float=center]

Dead Pixels is a side scrolling shooter with some retro theme. Zombies have overrun the city and you must work your way through them surviving against the odds. Along the way you can explore buildings which may reward you with ammo or items which can be sold for cash at the supply stores. Killing zombies will also reward you with cash, but be aware ammo is limited so plan your battles carefully. It looks like some thought has been put in to this game so its not just another zombie game. Well worth checking out and the 80 :MSPoints: price wont break the bank either.

Armehgeddon

This category has games that are well worth trying if the developers descriptions interest you. The games are by no means bad, but may lack the quality, design, price or something else that keeps it out the top category.
