Player Affinity writes: Sometimes the most difficult task to keep in mind when writing a review is to criticize the thing being reviewed for what it is and not for what it isn’t. This is especially true when it comes to Indie games, as they’re always low budget and not meant to emulate or compete with blockbuster titles. For a game like Battle High: San Bruno, comparing it to industry established fighters like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter IV is both pointless and unfair. Battle High: San Bruno is a competent 2D fighter that has a distinctly classic feel both in terms of its visuals and sounds.
Andrew and Keith play through the trial versions of ten indie titles from the Xbox Live marketplace and tell you what they think. Feel free to comment with your own take on any of these games or make requests!
"Battle High: San Bruno is another entrant in the now returned fighting genre, but how exactly does it fare with the increasing standards for kicking the living hell out of each other with a bunch of weirdos?"
