The Indie Spotlight - Closure, Meatboy
by marcom on Comments
I have been a fan of Tyler Glaiel & Edmund McMillien for some time now. It started with the game Aether. It's fun, free and exciting, and through this game I had one of the first realizations that there was a strong indie community that knew how to make great games. I was reading up on some indie blogs recently and I found Closure. I checked who made it and there were their names. In this edition of The Indie Spotlight we will cover two games, Closure and Meatboy, from these two up and coming indie developers. Enjoy! Oh, and did I mention these games are FREE! FREE! FREE!

Genre: 2D Platformer
Status: Out Now
From the beginning you start in a dim dark atmosphere setting the mood and feel for whats to come. Through a simple tutorial you're taught all of the mechanics to move around and solve all of the upcoming puzzles. Right away you find new unique ways to accomplish your tasks. Your goal is to simply make it to a door and move on, but as you continue further the journey becomes more complex than that.
To guide you through this dim and dark world are orbs of light that allow you to manipulate shadows and unlock other parts of the puzzle that help you move from one end to the other. Along the way you discover other orbs that serve different purposes than just light.
Check this FREE game out. You're in for an exciting ride in the world of Closure.

Meatboy is a fun and fast paced 2D platfomer. You are a ball of meet that can double jump the heck out of anything, meanwhile leaving a trail of bloody salmonella. Some people have complained that the game is a bit fast for the all of the tasks, but the countless times being chopped up by the sharp saws makes the whole experience worth it.
Your goal, save the clean meat princess. I don't how she gets up these puzzles, but she does. You wonder if it's one of those tests you're made to do to strengthen your relationship with the MRS. The first couple levels give you a short and easy tutorial that helps you hone your skills for the harder puzzles to come.
Remember always to make a mess everywhere in the game and not get chopped up into bits of meat. You can download Meatboy at the Gamespot Downloads Page.
Until next time. Download, Download Download!
Download of the Week
by marcom on Comments
Download of the Week is a post dedicated to the great downloadable content we have here on Gamespot. Each week I will look at an awesome demo, mod, total conversion that we have on our site, and i'll give a little feedback on it. Check it out...
From: Vivendi Games
Genre: Real-Time Strategy
I'm a huge fan of the RTS genre, from the Command & Conquer series to StarCraft. Whenever developers come out with a demo for an RTS it's usually a great download to get. The demos usually include a tutorial, a couple missions and sometimes a bit more. So, it's worth your time downloading any RTS demo. That said, Caesar IV is no exception. In this demo you are given a great and simple tutorial while you start off.
Although, the tutorial is a bit annoying as it takes a bit of your lower left hand corner, it's easy to minimize and pop back up when needed. The demo includes a lot of buildings to choose from helping you expand your empire quickly and efficiently.
In most city building RTS games, you're usually given a council or advisers that help you along the way. Using your council will always help you manage your city, especially when you forget to building more housing that the jobs you create. Although, you're given a lot of money to start out with, it quickly dwindles away if your not careful. But starting off with a lot of cash is a big plus for any game, especially this demo.
You can download Caesar IV here and you can download any patch, demo, mod, map etc at the Gamespot Downloads Page. Till next time, download, download download.

The Indie Spotlight

Created by: Dain Saint & William Stallwood
Genre: Puzzle
Status: Out Now
From the beginning of this game you're presented with a tranquil, but exciting score that strikes attention immediately. The first level presents you with a taste of what's to come.
"Auditorium is about the process of discovery and play. There are no right or wrong answers; there are many ways to solve every puzzle. To get started, fill up the first audio container."
Once you advanced through the levels more instruments are placed within the audio container creating a symphony like atmosphere. But don't let the serine feeling fool you, these puzzle get harder and harder as you go along.
Check out the demo for Auditorium now!
Red Alert 3 Maps:
RE3 and the C&C series has to acknowledge their long shelf lives are due to their always active forum map/mod making community. With the RE3 Worldbuilder just released late last year the C&C community has been busy with a new batch of user created maps. Check out these three maps.
Created by: Gren
Type of Map: 5 v 5
Status: Out Now
This map is beautifully designed with five islands placed through out the map. Each have one entrance, except for the middle island. Buidling your resources, army and influence fast is the key to victory, especially if you have the setting on brutal.
Created by: Clone11b
Type of Map: 1 v 1
Status: Out Now
This map includes two ore nodes at each end, good placement of tech structures, and good placement of extra nodes around the map. There is quick expansion point near each starting position, and you better make use of it if you want to win.

Type of Map: 2 v 2
Status: Out Now
This map is a full on land war, with unlimited cash. You main focus is air/anti-air units. Cash Rush is big map and structures are placed well to expand quickly. There are also two veteran structures that you want to secure to gain the upper hand.
To install any of these maps copy and paste this into your directory -

The Unfinished Swan
Created by: Ian Dallas
Genre: First Person Painter
Status: In Development
My buddy, Lark Anderson, told me about an indie game that you paint your way through levels to accomplish your objective. Instantly I thought it was an indie game, due to the out of the box like concept. Then today I see a posting about the winners of the IGF Student Showcase, and this game called Unfinished Swan. I clicked the video, and sure enough it was the game Lark told me about.
The video starts off in a white room where you shoot black paint all over the place to find your path, as well as any other objects that could help along the way. There was a block that was being pushed with black paint, so I would like to definitely see more of that when the game is finished.
Then you move outside where everything is pitch black, except for your paint that turns white to help guide you. Hidden messages are everywhere giving you hints and questions from what's to come.
I can't wait for this indie to come out! VIVA INDIE!
And that's our Indie Spotlight of the week. Check back next Monday for all new indie content, and as always you can download these files and many other mods, maps, total conversions, and more at the Gamespot Downloads Page!

From the beginning you are thrown into action as your must escape a burning building. You're not sure if you started the fire or it was someone else pulling your strings, all you care about is getting the heck out of there. Once you're out of the room you find some nice whiskey to drown your burning building sorrows, plus you find out that newly empty bottle makes a great weapon.
That's pretty much to tone of this entire game, gritty, colorful, and fun. HA!
Your objective is to make your way through crazy people, armed with various weapons, out to kill you. You don't know why they're all blood thirsty, but they all seem to have it out for you. Collecting your dead victim's weapons is the key to getting through each stage, as well as picking up what ever food you can find to replenish your health.
As your move from the streets to the clubs you're greeted by more and more colorful and interesting characters challenging all of your FPS skills. Check out Urban Brawl right away as this game will satisfy your FPS fix, and hey it's FREE!
Check back next Monday for our next Free Indie Spotlight of the Week, and as always you can download this game and many other mods, maps, total conversion, and more at the Gamespot Downloads Page!
