"It's been well over two years since Xbox Live Indie Games were made available, and to this day they still retain a generally negative reputation. Despite a plethora of hidden gems and worthwhile ventures, there are simply far too many bad games flooding the market. Hypothetically, if Microsoft were to perform a routine cleanup of the very worst XBLIGs (like they once threatened with XBLA games) the service as a whole would likely receive more positive remarks. Though it definitely strikes aga..."
"The player’s choice for progression has been expanded exponentially, with multiple quest-paths providing weaving stories in, out and regardless of the main storyline. Instead of just have one large map, the game has dozens of small maps (Solar Systems) interlinked through a larger map (Galaxies). While the player must traverse set paths in order to travel from Galaxy-to-Galaxy, they are free-to-roam in each small Solar System through indirect movement of their ship on the Left Analogue Stick...."
Digital distribution service Impulse has some sweet deals in store this weekeend, particularly World of Goo's 50% discount, and $5 off the wonderful Braid. If you haven't picked up either of these titles, now is the time (unless with World of Goo, like us, you're planning on ordering the new box version)!
They also remind Red Faction: Guerilla is currently available for pre-order at $40, which includes the first two games free.
"Battles aren’t conducted between combatants in Galactrix as it was in Warlords; instead, your spaceships will do the battle. During battle, a honeycomb grid will appear in the touch screen, with the two spacecrafts’ status on the top. You will notice that there is a blue bar and orange bar; the blue bar representing your ship’s shield power, and the orange representing your life points; once it drops to 0, it’s game over. Battle is simply conducted by linking 3 or more of the hexagonal plates..."

Publisher D3 Interactive held a pre-launch event for their upcoming title, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix. PSLS sent Los Angeles native Paulmichael to check out the party, get information and playtime with the game in its many formats, and most importantly smell like a fog machine for a few hours afterwards. Check out first impressions of the game as well as a glimpse of the event here!
"Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is clearly a more elaborate production than the many variants of its predecessor from even just the first few moments introduction. Deftly weaving a wholly unnecessary narrative into its combative puzzling, there’s no doubt it’s a title born of a developer’s love for their own creation. And with that, fans are unlikely to be displeased."

"While the developers behind the upcoming Puzzle Quest: Galactrix are quick to tell you that the new PQ game is a brand-new experience, there are a few things, we're delighted to report, that have barely changed at all. Like its predecessor, Challenge of the Warlords, Galactrix will have a sprawling story taking place across a huge universe, an in-depth RPG plot, and loads of depth. Best of all, the gem-busting puzzle game that is at the heart of Galactrix is just as monumentally addictive as ..."
