This fan-made Minecraft trailer probably won’t help explain the indie phenom’s popularity to those not familiar with the computer game. But it’s still a marvel to watch.
Quick Hit Football, the free-to-play online American football strategy game, counts a million games played since its public release two months ago and says it will put out an update early this week that enhances gameplay and playcalling.
Calling it “a collaboration between EA 2D, BioWare, and some of the hottest indie talent from the flash developer community,” BioWare has announced the browser-based Dragon Age: Journeys, which will serve as a prequel to the upcoming Dragon Age: Origins.
Wii owners can look forward to some slightly-more-adequate web browsing real soon now if this rumoured upgrade to Opera is on the money.
This wonderfully adorable (and kind of weird) game is pretty straight forward — guide the marshmallow around a variety of objects just waiting to take a bite out of your head and send you hurtling towards the ground so you can land with a ‘splat.’ It’s cute. It’s not terribly taxing. The soundtrack is … well, something (soothing? Weird? Vaguely Katamari-esque? All of the above?), but the game is really cute and a nice way to waste a couple of minutes or more ….

IndieGames succinctly describes this as ‘a cross between Breakout and Space Invaders,’ which is pretty accurate — but it’s a fun game with a retro feel. I was in the mood for some candy-coloured, easy to pick up fun this weekend, and this definitely hit the spot. Boss battles every 10 levels, power ups, and trying not to get hit with your own bullets (so watch out for that trigger finger) — add in some cute alien enemies, and you’ve got the recipe for how I wasted a good chunk of my Sunday morning.
