GameZone Column: Akerman's Arcade Asylum

GameZone's Nick Akerman has published his second entry in his bi-weekly column covering the digital platforms of the PSN, XBLA, and WiiWare.

Akerman writes,

"Two weeks ago when I featured the charming NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits on the first ever AAA article, I mentioned that I'd be throwing some questions to an unsuspecting developer. Well, if you hadn't guessed, we have Over The Top Games' Roberto Alvarez de Lara on the column this week, one of the main men behind the WiiWare hit. He can be seen giving an insight into the world of independent game development below, while the rest of the column is jam-packed with enough arcade goodness to push your download limit towards bursting point. This week, Assassin's Creed II DLC 'The Battle of Forli is the first to step up to the mark."

I like this roundup idea. Wish more games were mentioned though.

[Nakerman]

There will be more games in the future, wanted to make room for an interview this time round though.

[Splidders]

I hear what y'all sayin' yo.

Hmm, not heard of that KGB title, seems interesting. Huzzah for NyxQuest!

[Caspel]

Who actually plays games on the Xbox Live Indie platform?

[jetsetradio]

I agree, there's not much of a market left for Indie games, but KGB Episode One looks pretty decent. Might have to look into the Indie section for the first time in a while. Perhaps someone will pick up a later episode for an arcade release, further down the road?

[Nakerman]

You never know. Some of these indie games are superb, and so cheap too. I still urge people to pick up Dreams of Witchtown, utterly brilliant.

Very intersting post, makes me wanna find some of the games i didnt hear of until i read this..

[slickguy1986]

I think I might just pass on this game. Not too big on indie games.

[trig456]
