Movement is on-rails and players aim the ship's guns using the 3DS's gyroscopic input, tilting the handheld to move the cursor around. Player movement will also affect the view of the cockpit, so if you look too far down, for instance, your screen will be filled with control panels and you won't be able to fire.

Pac-Man Tilt is a side-scrolling game that will have players tilting their 3DS to rotate the levels around Pac-Man. The gaming legend will have arms and legs to match the action-platformer style of play. He'll also be able to roll up into a ball to get into secret areas and squeeze by environmental obstacles. In classic fashion Pac-Man will need to eat power pellets to fight back against enemies.

Also packed into this jam-packed arcade collective are a number of bonus games -- Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions! Both of these games seamlessly weaves modern concepts into the classic arcade gameplay loved by millions fans over the past 30 years. For players looking for a more pure Pac-Man and Galaga experience, the original arcade games are also available.          

In the Pac-Man game, players will help assist Pac-Man through stages filled with platforms, obstacles and ghosts by tilting the world to guide Pac-Man to his goal. Pac-Man has the ability to jump, flip, swing, and eat his way to the finish line with the aid of flippers, platforms, and power pellets. In the Galaga 3D Impact portion of the game players must rid space of the incoming Galaga army. The Nintendo 3DS becomes your ship's gun turret as you defend the ship through the incoming waves of the Galaga armada. Both games will be able to utilize the motion sensor, gyro sensor, 3D screen, the touch-screen controls, and more.

Avadon: The Black Fortress (PC)

Spiderweb Software brings you Avadon: The Black Fortress, the first chapter in a new, epic fantasy saga.

Release Date: May 02, 2011

Avadon: The Black Fortress is the latest release from veteran independent RPG developer Spiderweb Software. After years of releasing titles in the familiar settings of Exile/Avernum and Geneforge, Jeff Vogel is launching a brand new IP and a whole new setting with Avadon. Following the Macintosh launch on March 1st, the game is currently running in beta for a late April PC release - which is the version that afforded me the opportunity to pen this preview. 

More than anything, Avadon will feel instantly familiar to Spiderweb fans. It brings some welcome graphical additions to Spiderweb's catalogue, while also recycling and updating a lot of graphical assets from older Spiderweb titles, and all of these are presented in the traditional top-down 2D perspective. Combat is a pure turn-based affair, with the player's party and individual enemies taking turns to attack or use abilities. All of it – from the pacing of exploration and combat to the interface – will feel instantly familiar for anyone who has played pretty much any Spiderweb title, particularly an Avernum title. For that reason, I want to talk about just two things that are noticeably new: the setting and the character system. 

Setting 

The setting of Avadon centers around the Pact, an alliance of five nations (the Wyldrylm, Holklanda, Dharam, Kellemderiel and the Kva). Avadon is the name of a large fortress that sits high in the mountains on the shared border of the Kva, the Wyldrylm and Holklanda. Under the guidance of the unfortunately named Redbeard, it is one of the more important spots of the Pact, policing each of the five nations. To do so, Redbeard sends out his agents (called Hands) to ensure everyone lives up to agreed-upon rules (such as safe main roads), and to resolve conflicts between nations or problems the nations have with the independent and sometimes wild areas bordering the Pact, from the ancient Tawon Empire to the Titan Peaks. 

On the surface, Avadon's setting is fairly standard high fantasy fare. Whereas Avernum was unique in being set in an underground prison colony, and Geneforge unique in the importance of the geneforge technology, Avadon doesn't have something as obviously setting it apart. It offers fairly typical fare, with late medieval style nations fighting off goblin-like wretches, giant titans, robbers or hostile nations. The wilder parts of world have forests or desertscapes inhabited by giant spiders, wolves, hellhounds, and the like. Even demons and dragons make appearances, though the latter tend towards the neutral, or are at least wise enough not to make enemies out of the Pact. 

It's in the Pact that the setting's potential is most obvious: the Pact is not simply a flawless, good-guy alliance. The five nations have long histories of conflict or open warfare with one another, while the Pact itself is considered a necessary evil by many, maintaining a tenacious peace by holding everyone to the same rules. But inside and outside of the Pact there are people that consider its rules arbitrary, who think that the Hands of Avadon are given too much freedom and are thus open to corruption.

Jeff Vogel shows a deft hand at storytelling by not rubbing any of this in your face. Instead, you start the story as a young Hand, rushed into action due to (initially scarcely detailed) events putting pressure on Avadon's position. The game's events send you to four different regions in the game world: Avadon, Dhorl Stead in the non-Pact area of Khemeria; the border of the Kva and the wretch lands; and Castle Vebeaux and the contested Beraza woods between Holklanda and Kellemdriel.

Starzzle (X360)

Starzzle is a unique new Xbox Indie puzzler that incorporates cartoonish graphics with an upbeat and cheerful style to deliver an original and fun gaming experience. 

Release Date: Apr 18, 2011

Created by the Spanish Indie Games studio Bionic Thumbs, this zany yet challenging Xbox Indie title can be enjoyed by all ages--and although the controls can be a bit awkward, it still provides enjoyable gameplay. 

Starzzle is a charming Xbox Indie puzzler developed by Bionic Thumbs that incorporates whimsical humor with a positive atmosphere that can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages. Don’t let the graphics fool you–although it appears to be a kid’s game, the Xbox Indie title is actually quite challenging in it’s dynamics. The game takes a cartoonish style and uses it to compliment the top-down 2D maze-puzzler gameplay and makes use of simplistic yet appealing graphics.

Players must collect stars in each level, progressing onward to the next only when most of the shiny, gleeful stars are collected. Overall the game is refreshing and the puzzle mechanics are quite unique–let’s not forget the excessively cheerful music and the constantly-moving atmosphere that imbibes a sense of joy within the player.

Starzzle is more of a maze-puzzle type of game that uses a unique path mechanic that only allows players to move up, down, left or right. Players must plan their moves and think before they start the level, and sometimes the only way to know the correct method is to try it a few times.

I personally like the mechanics involved and it’s challenging, but it may be too tedious for some players. Despite the mixed feelings some may have, I believe Starzzle is an impressively challenging and fun Xbox Indie title.

There are four different worlds each replete with a number of stages for players to solve, with every level becoming progressively more difficult than the last. Each world has it’s own particular theme, and the environments and atmospheres for every one are as dynamic as the first.

This game makes good use of making players refine their problem solving techniques as the game only allows for movement in four directions–it’s impossible to move in a circular or diagonal path. This dynamic is unique and makes the game somewhat challenging as players must fight their own instincts of grabbing the nearest star before planning their next move–strategy is key in this game, and some may have to utilize trial and error to complete later stages.

Starzzle also makes use of Challenges, which are basically like Awardments in other Xbox Indie titles and like Achievements in retail Xbox 360 games. Each challenge is different and requires players to complete a certain task to unlock it. The worlds themselves remind me of early NES/SNES titles with the layouts and design–this nostalgic factor enhances the entertainment that this game can offer.

Final Truth:

The overall exuberant tone of this game is quite entertaining and humorous–using rather enjoyable visuals like cartoonish characters and animations to reinforce the overall feel of the game.Starzzle‘s unique style, gleeful musical tracks, and puzzle dynamics all come together to form an original and fun Xbox Indie experience. While some gamers may not enjoy the tedious and trial-and-error maze-like puzzles in the game, I’d recommend this title to all gamers who enjoy puzzlers that make players think strategically.

+ Addictive & Enjoyable

+ Appropriate for All Ages

+ Many Stages to Play

+ Humorous and Whimsical Cartoonish Style

- Somewhat Challenging Puzzles

- Awkward Controls on Some Levels

NLL 11 (X360)

The National Lacrosse League's new Xbox 360 game
Release Date: Apr 15, 2011

NLL 11 is scheduled to hit the Xbox LIVE Indie Marketplace later this spring. For those not familiar with the sport, indoor lacrosse is hard-hitting, high-scoring, and very fast-paced. It combines the best parts of hockey, basketball, and soccer all into one. If you're a sports fan and have never seen a National Lacrosse League game, you're missing out big time. Not to worry! The league broadcasts all of their games 

Developed by Crosse Studio in conjunction with Stir Fry Games, NLL 11 improves upon last year's release with a completely revamped game engine, better graphics, and new gameplay features such as fighting (check out the video to the left) and line changes.

The game features all ten NLL teams and the league's 230 players, a completely new game engine, franchise mode, player statistics, celebrations and much more. For the first time, NLL11 also includes fighting in the video game. For the second straight year, the cost of the game is $5.

The first version of the game, NLL Lacrosse 2010, was named the "Best Indie Sports Game" of 2010 by Kotaku.com, a leading website in the video gaming community. NLL Lacrosse 2010 was among games such as MLB 2K10, NBA 2K11, NCAA Football 11 & EA Sports MMA as winners of the Sports Video Games of the Year.

"Line changes will be done manually this year," said Carlo Sunseri, founder of Crosse Studio. "You can also edit who is on each line. On top of that, there is fatigue which actually makes lines changes necessary to your success in the game."

Line changes were one of the more frustrating aspects of last year's game as players seemed to come and go almost at random. This change is definitely a step forward in the NLL video games becoming respected a yearly franchise. It should be noted that no sports franchise became an industry juggernaut overnight. It took years of fine-tuning and refinements.

NLL Lacrosse 2010 was the first indoor lacrosse video game since Blast Lacrosse was released on the PlayStation in 2001 and won Kotaku's "Best Indie Sports Game" award last year. With a multitude of new improvements and features, NLL 11 should build on this success.
