September Indie Game Round-Up

cyrus_zuo brings us the latest set of reviews for recent independently-produced games. A panel of reviewers takes a look at 10 games, including The Spirit Engine 2, an action RPG which receives high marks, the humorous Strong Bad game, and Eternity's Child, which has earned quite a big of negative press recently. "Despite what some may have said, EC certainly isn't the disaster it is made out to be, not by a long shot. However, it feels like it is brushing up against greatness only to have its wings burned and that makes the short-comings feel all the more painful."

Mount and Blade, anyone?

I'm surprised that such an innovative indie game didn't make the cut. Then again, I guess it obviously would have gotten a 10, so there was no need to review it ;)

True, but Strong Bad runs great under wine if you install d3dx9_36.dll (or probably the whole thing). Played through the first two eps already, in general Telltale's game are quite Linux-friendly if you get the actual game launched. E.g. on Sam & Max season 2 all works if you set OS version to Vista which disables the whole copy protection crap :).
