Super Ghosts' four-person co-op title Bandit Party came out of left field from my perspective. It looks like something from the Atari 2600, but its crazy gameplay style feels wildly fresh.
Another game that I got to go hands-on with at the Boston Festival of Indie Games was called Gimbal Cop from Defective Studios. We had the company's co-founder Jono Forbes walk us though the game, which had a pretty interesting setup.
The first annual Boston Festival of Indie Games has come and gone, leaving behind a sign of success with a mixture of classic con funk!
Before I interviewed Electric Coffee Games' Ben Shippee, I sat down and gave a go of their first title Photons, a game that is only two months into the making of it and already had previews in a French competition!
Ah yes, Shakespeare. You've got to love the aspect of a updated/modern version of one of the classics of a Roman general who caused so much pain on people ending up becoming a Greek tragedy in the end. No Hollywood happy endings in Coriolanus, but I can tell you that Ralph Fiennes did a great job both as director and actor.

I like a good beat 'em up game like anyone else, whether it's a classic side-scroller like Streets of Rage or it's more third-person-styled such as God of War or MadWorld. When a game comes along that not only makes a chore out of the genre, but mocks the intelligence of the fan base, it can truly leave a vulgar taste in my mouth. Such is the case of Qooc Soft's first foray into video games: Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior Rises.
Next month SEGA fans everywhere will be able to go hands-on with two HD remakes of their beloved titles.
It's a full-on Wii U coverage episode of B3, and the King invites a few friends in on the festivities!
