Xbox Indie Recon: Of Zombies and Doodlebugs
Every week, one of us is going to have the oh so fun job of slogging through the XBLIG releases for the week to save our readers from the disappointment of thinking you found a good game. We’ll highlight only the best of the best, the cream of the crop if you will. And hopefully (I’m crossing my fingers) we’ll never have to break the news that all the games from that week aren’t worth the space on your hard drive they take up.
This week there are two games that caught our eye.
Your Doodles Are Bugged by Spyn Doctor
Similar in concept to games like Line Rider, here we have another “Draw Your Own Adventure” title (I just totally made that up).
Take your magic pen, fill the shoes of the Master Doodler, and help guide hundreds of doodle bugs to safety using your wits & creativity. This one definitely belongs on DSiWare and the iPhone, but the current Xbox Indies iteration looks more than competent.
Yet Another Zombie Defense by AwesomeGamesStudio
The developers of last year’s Duel: The Art of Combat are throwing their hand into the zombie ring with what looks like great results. Yet Another Zombie Defense is a dual-stick zombie shooter (I know, right!?) mixed with the tower defense genre. You’re able to choose from nine unique weapons and mount them onto auto turrets or set up defensive barricades to survive as long as you can…and it’s only a buck!

Samantha started out as a PC gamer way back in the early 90s (yeah, at like 6!). As a graduate student at the University of Michigan, she found herself trying to stay awake through 3 hour lectures. Indie games on her laptop continuously saved her from the awful embarrassment of snoring in class. She's branching out from the birth place of indie gaming into the new wilds on gaming consoles, but PC will always be her first love.
