Convict Minigames (XBLIG): "A 5 Title Minigame Compilation"

Convict Interactive recently released a compilation of 5 indie minigames. The game's title was appropriately called 'Convict Minigames' since it was Convict Interactive that developed them. The games featured in this set include 'Bop!', 'High Hopes', 'Jurassic Bar', 'Cave In', and 'Triangle Man (which made me think of that 80's song with Triangle Man lyrics ^.^). For the most part the games end really quickly, except for 'Triangle Man' which features more involved gameplay. All of the games can be played alone (single player), or with up to 4 players. Each game features an impressive soundtrack that accents the games rather nicely.

Convict Interactive - Rebecca Fernandez (Convict Minigames)

You can probably imagine that a blogger such as myself hardly gets any personal review requests, but that when I do it really means a lot. It tells me that I'm doing something right, and that I'm connecting well with the gaming community. Recently 'Rebecca Frenandez' of Convict Interactive contacted me about reviewing her new XBLIG game. I had never actually looked into the game until she sent me an email. This morning I took the time to look at the youtube video that was attached to the email letter as well as another video I found about Rebecca herself. I think its definitely cool that new developers are finding their place in the gaming industry. It's always good to see new talent, and new games arise from these new developers' imaginations. I can seriously see Rebecca going far in the gaming industry even if she is only doing indie games at the moment. After watching that video about her attending the E3 convention I can definitely tell she has the motivation for it, as well as the education to make her ideas a reality. I hope to be able to review more of her games as time goes on. I'm going to include the two videos I previously mentioned in this post, so you can see what I'm speaking of ...
