Terraria Review

Introduction
You may have heard of Terraria. You may have heard a lot of things about it. You may have heard about it being a shameless Minecraft clone. (That is not the truth!) You may have heard of it being one of the most popular games on Steam in the last few weeks. You may have heard of it being an indie game. Well, most of those ideas are true. This game is just as innovative as Minecraft. This game is in 2D, sort of like platformers from the '90s. It blends Minecraft like building and crafting, seamlessly with RPG elements, action adventure and platforming. So, is it as great as I make it sound?

Today I interviewed miroki123 from the Engine 001 forums to discuss his game, and what he thinks about indie gaming in general. Engine 001 is a tool for making action RPGs, shooters and more.

Avadon: The Black Fortress Review

Introduction
Jeff Vogel started out with pretty simple beginnings in the earlier 90's, with some of his earlier games like Exile still very "cute" but they are now forshadowed over his later games, which are all RPGs. He is a fan of old-school RPGs and uses shareware to sell them (shareware means that the people who make the games offer a bit of the game for free as a download and you must pay to get the second half.) Put it this way, he is an indie game designer. The amazing part, is that the massive games are made by a group of three people. If you end up buying Avadon, you may be interested in his other games as well. In short, this guy deserves your money for his hard work.
