There is a new Indie Royale Bundle available! “Well Johnny what are the games this time?” you may ask and my response would be “My name isn’t Johnny, so don’t call me that!”

…ok that’s kinda weird but hey, here are the games that are available in this nice bundle:

(oh…just a formality, click the links for the indie royale preview for each of the games)

– Nuclear Dawn: Nuclear Dawn is a Source engine based Multiplayer game that combines the visceral action of a First Person Shooter with the deep branching gameplay of a Real Time Strategy title. Forge your own destiny on the field of battle with every tactical decision, and ensure your faction’s survival with each headshot, capture buildings and bring the fight to your enemies’ strongholds riding the future’s machines of destruction.

– Max & the Magic Marker: Max is a young boy, and like most boys he loves to draw. One day he gets a mysterious marker in the mail. There is no letter attached – only the plain orange marker. Max decides to test it right away, sits down and starts drawing. He draws a monster but as soon as he finishes the lines on the paper start moving and to Max’s great surprise the monster runs off the paper and into another drawing. Stunned Max now sees how the Monster messes around with his drawings. Max realizes that he has to stop the monster. So he draws himself on the same drawing that the monster is in and immediately finds himself inside the drawing. The game begins.

– Fractal: From the award-winning team that brought you Auditorium and Pulse : Volume One comes Fractal, an enthralling music puzzler experience. Push, Combo, and Chain your way through a pulsing technicolor dreamscape all the while expanding your consciousness at 130 BPM.

– Super Crossfire: Super Crossfire is an intense shooter with a unique twist: Players can warp between the bottom and top of the screen at any time. Combined with a massive upgrade system, intense gameplay, visuals, and audio, and a huge variety of enemy types and waves, Super Crossfire is the next evolution in the arcade shooter genre.

Well, if you want it you can get it here:

Nuclearoids is a simple game where you are given goals to destroy certain spheres in each level. It’s basically a puzzle game…it’s simple…but also addicting. The game is definitely more than a 5 minute game and looks, as I said, simple. I think it’s one of those games that most would over-look, so I think it’s worth posting here. The game is really fun and will draw you into completing it rather quickly. Definitely recommended for at least a 5 minute check out, though I’m almost certain you’ll play longer than that.

“Fish slap” your way through hordes of kitties and turn evil baby seals into fish sticks while you’re at it…

- Flipper 2 is a hardcore platform game that uses only 1 (one!) button to play.

- The world is dived in multiple rooms (300+), each room is one screen big.

- In each room the player starts at the left side of the screen and has to exit at the right side. In between are enemies, traps and some coins.

- In each room the player has a different action that he can perform by pressing the one button.

- So for example, in one room pressing the A button might result in shooting. In the next room pressing the A button might result in jumping.

- It’s up to the player to quickly figure out what the action is, and how he can use it to avoid the enemies and traps before he dies!

Vampires, robots, sorcery… And that’s all before Gym Class! Welcome to Mahora Academy, an all-girls school where the impossible and the enchanting are a part of the curriculum. It’s the start of the new school year and emotions run rampant as the girls of Class 2-A meet the newest staff addition – Negi Springfield. A ten-year-old Welsh born prodigy, Negi has more problems than he has students. As a wizard-in-training, this academic appointment is the final requirement in his quest to become a Magister Magorum. But if he messes things up and the girls find out, existence as an exotic ermine will be his fate!

It’s mishaps and mayhem even without the magic, but the undaunted Negi won’t give up. Between his quiet determination and compassionate nature, and the talents, quirks and abilities of each of the girls, Class 2-A finds their way into and out of every predicament, redefining school spirit along the way. Friendship, adventure and life lessons are all on the agenda, and the students have just as much to teach their young professor as they have to learn.

When you’re the only boy in an all girl’s school, magic’s the easy part!

Burrito Bison is another one of those “Kitty Cannon” style games. You fire a Bison Luchador out of the ring and try to get him to escape his Candied Captors. The game overall is very simple, and it looks great, both are good qualities for a 5 minute game. No you won’t FINISH the game in 5 minutes but you can play for about 5 minutes and come back. Chances are though that you will play longer than 5 minutes, as the game has quite a charm to it and is pretty fun. For those who like games like Flight, this game is very fun and deserves your time.

Battlemass is a turn-based multiplayer strategy game. Players play against each other on maps divided into areas of various sizes. Players can build cities in these areas to take control of them and to build more units in them; and build harvesters to harvest the areas for resources, needed to build more units. The goal in Battlemass is to destroy your opponent’s city (or cities) before he does the same to you.

Each turn consists of 3 phases. The 1st phase is the combat and movement phase in which a player can move his units around the map (units may move a limited number of tiles per turn) and attack any of his opponent’s units that are in range.

The 2nd phase is the harvest phase. A player will get an opportunity to select each of his harvesters in turn and select the tile that should be harvested. Resources, called edon, will be extracted from the tile and the tile will go into a decaying state. Tiles that are decaying cannot be harvested again and with each turn change the decay will get worse until the tile is removed from the game; any land unit on that tile will then be destroyed. A tile will go through 3 stages of decay before it is removed.

The 3rd phase is the build phase in which a player can select his city and target any open tile in the same area as the city to build new units on, provided he has enough resources (edon) to build the unit.

There is a free demo on their site here.

Ok, I know we normally do Indie Games, but Jonathan and I think that anything “Indie” related or “Otaku” related will work. Zelda is definitely a game series that pulls in Otakus, especially game playing ones. I have been looking forward to the release of this game for quite some time now, I even pre-purchased the Wii-mote bundle for $70 (see the irony of that decision here). I’ve become a fan of LoZ games and have been eagerly awaiting this one. Anyone else pre-purchased it or buying it opening day?

The Light Temple is a 100% co-op game. The objective is to get both Fire Boy and Water Girl into their respective doors while making sure to collect the gems on the way. Fire Boy is the only one who can come into contact with fire and collect fire gems, just as Water Girl is the only one who can come into contact with Water and water gems. This game is better off played with 2 people rather than just going at it by yourself, although you can if you want. It also makes it rather easier to play with two different people. This game is a nice pick up and play flash game where it the gameplay elements kind of come to you easily, although things like lighting mirrors might be trial and error for you at first. I’d recommend giving it at least 5 minutes of your time (be warned, you might go longer than 5), and definitely if you have a partner with you.

8-Bit Night, a retro platform game with a unique twist. Spin the world around you on it’s axis to solve the deviously designed levels. Collect pixels, avoid marauding skulls and experience two-dimensional gaming from an all-new and exciting perspective.

I really like the way this game looks, yeah I know the whole 8 bit thing is getting old but this does look cool. You can try the demo for free or just buy the full version for ten bucks.

We would like to thank all our followers and fans. And we would like to apologize for our lack of new videos and content but Glen and myself have been experiencing PC problems as well as both of us getting sick on different weeks. [It's ok we're all better now.] But my new PC is now only a couple of weeks away and when it gets here there will be more original content. We are working on major site updates and content that will be on the way in the coming weeks.

We are also still looking for more blog authors so if you are interested then let us know.
