When I was asked about a week ago to cover an upcoming indie PC game called Dustforce, I was skeptical. I'm usually not very up to date on the indie scene when it comes to video games. That isn't because the games are bad by any means, because they aren't. I usually pass over indie games because, as our regular readers will know, I'm a sucker for story-driven gameplay, and any game that has little to no story usually doesn't hold my admittedly hard-to-earn interest. There have been very few indie games in history that have had such addictive gameplay that I can completely look past the simple nature of the game. Dustforce is one of them.

It's that time again, kids. Time for a bunch of hyped up Xbox Live Arcade releases to all be released in the same month under some meaningless banner. This time to the House Party is a pair of survival horror games, an FPS and what I think is a puzzle game.
Diablo III doesn't officially have a release date. So when a knowledgeable gamer strolled into a Best Buy in Rochester, Minnesota and saw a countdown clock for a supposed midnight release of Diablo III, he did what any gamer would do; snap a pic and put it on the internet to let the rumor mill take the wheel from there.
Although Starhawk's closed beta ended last week, and the release date for the game or even the public beta is up in the air, that can't keep developers from creating more excitement by being ultra-cryptic!
