Fight together against SOPA

Hello guys, today I'm coming up with a quite unusual post but absolutely needed. SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), is an american bill introduced for the first time on October 26, 2011 which is under review right when you're reading this. Its main aim is to protect copyright owners by blocking every site that may contain or already contains such material, if you're not following the events you could actually accept this, that's why I'm here to tell...

The darkness of: Limbo

Couldn't resist a hour more to talk about Limbo, so there we go! Yesterday I was browsing Steam's indie games section, when I was about to close it I decided to look for one last game that sounded interesting, right after that, I came across Limbo's page. Its trailer explains it all, Limbo was, without any doubt, a game that I had to buy. Tried it, and now, I MUST write something about it. About Playdead Playdead is an indie game developing team...

_ensnare_ - Impeccable Micro

Hello! It's still me bringing you a new exciting update, or at least interesting for the many of you I hope.

Some Waves!

Hello there dear followers, I finally found some time tonight to share with you one of the latest realeases in the indie world, I'm talking about WAVES, an unusual game, simple but incredibly addicting. Well, as you can see from the video above here, you just have to shoot at those strange balls in order to stay alive and obtain more points. I personally tried it out and I have to admit that even if it may look boring from the trailer, its five game modes keep the challenge completely up at anytime. More about "Squid in a box" Squid in a...

100 Followers, what did I miss?

I just realized that Should Be Indie reached 100 followers, I really can't find the right words to describe this feeling. Thank you all guys, from now on I'll put way more effort in the work I'm doing here. I'm absolutely in need of some ideas to keep this blog as enterataining as it is, because, well, I still don't find a good way to talk about games from a real gamer prospective and I'm not here just to bring up news that many of you already knows. So, please, if you have any good idea, tell me down here with a comment, or talk directly with...

IndieCity?

Hey y'all, There is nothing better than this boring afternoon to talk a bit about IndieCity, a project that I found some days ago. Here it is: http://www.indiecity.com/ Basically this is going to be, as the developers said, the definitive home of indie-gamers, developers and whoever is into this scene.  This mean that in the next future we may find everything we need on a single site instead of wandering around the web. Question: Should we call this innovation or, copying already existent communities like Steam? I believe that, at this moment...

Of course Konjak prepared a stunning trailer that shows all the incredible potential that The Iconoclasts has: But this is not enough!

Starcraft, Day 9, and some other thoughts

Today I don't feel like post a new Minecraft daily, in fact yesterday morning I saw one of the most inspiring videos of my entire gaming life. Yea, it's Day9's daily #100, when he spent 2 hours of his life to talk about his personal experience through starcraft. I mean, beside the fact that having all the support from your family is one of the most important things, whatever you're up to, I learnt that if you really want to do something, you can do it just by practicing. You just have to keep your goal sticked in your head and go on, even in the...

Diablo III beta commented by Day 9

As I said at the beginning, I'm not going to cover only indie games in here, this is the right time to talk a little bit about Diablo 3. The beta keys are getting distributed only in the US as far as I know (hoping to get one as soon as the beta becomes available in Europe). Day 9 made an entire walktrough in one of his recent streams, two days ago, to be more precise, and I feel like sharing this with you all readers. CHECK OUT THIS AWESOMENESS: Shared this mostly because I'm a huge Day9's fan, top player in Starcraft 2 and famous commentator. If...

Bastion

So hello guys! Today I'm going to spend some time to talk about Bastion, a dynamical role-playing game, where you impersonate a kid, that has to build a safe spot called, in fact, the bastion, by collecting objects around the dying world of Caelondia. Supergiantgames, an indie developement team, has brought to us a phenomenal game and I want to remember that you can get it on Steam at the price of 13,99€, for the greedy ones, theres a free demo that will convince almost everyone. But let's go a little bit deeper in the gameplay with a list of...
