Big Bang Brain Games

From the people who brought you the fantastic 'Hoards of Orcs' comes "Big Bang Brain Games" - a brain training suite of mini 'puzzle' games wrapped in a 3D engine to keep you on your toes and at the computer; monging out almost completely while paradoxically expanding your brain capacity and giggle like a school girl at the comedic touches this studio seem to lace their productions with. Big Brain Games consists of six games in total; Echo, an audio memory game, Fallacy, a logic game, NovaSweeper, which is Mine Sweeper with nobs and bells, Reaction, a fantastic little logic game (reminds me, for some reason, of the classic e-motion for you old timers out there) , Remembrance the classic card game (turn them up to match etc) and of course what brain training application would be complete without Sudoku!?

Remembrance is the classic memory card game; with a hot chick. Click her. She loves it.

The games are all pretty good; I especially like Fallacy and Remembrance which keep me entertained for longer stretches of time (not being natural Sudoku player, ie. I'm number retarded) but all the titles are great efforts which look and sound great. The presentation of this game is nothing short of immaculate, for mini games the whole atmosphere (and the bizarre random duck) really draw you in from the get go. Which in SGR's book, is a very good thing!

Great stuff.

Summary:

Six great brain training puzzle games which look, sound and play great. If you like this kinda thing, then this game delivers by the truck load.

New Players Join Indie Scene

Independent video-game makers used to be the starving artists of the gaming world. Rather than taking cushy jobs at major companies, they lived off measly donations to create what they saw as a better, more innovative product.

No longer. Independent game makers are coming of age, thanks to new distribution methods that bring quirky, original games right into people's living rooms. And the indie scene is flourishing, just like it has in movies and music.

"We're much more high-profile than we used to be," said Phil Fish, a Montreal game designer whose game Fez, while unfinished, is being courted by large game publishers eager to tap into the indie scene.
