Train Frontier Express was developed by Team Train Frontier and released on August 30, 2011 and retails for 240 MSP.  A copy was provided by the developer for review purposes.

So many of us have a childhood love of toy trains.  We let our imaginations run wild with our train sets.  As the train moved along the tracks we would make choo choo noises with our voice.  Sometimes we created fictional disasters that would throw the train off track and have it burst into imaginary flames, but hey, it was all good fun.  If you were one of those kids (including the bout of destruction) then boy is there a video game for you!

Train Frontier Express is one of the titles in the Indie Games Summer Uprising promotion and deservedly so.  Although there really is no “game” here or set of definable goals, it is the closest thing you’ll ever have to a model train simulator on the Xbox 360, and the freedom to share your creations with friends on Xbox Live places this into the top tier category of XBLIG.

SkyDrift was developed by Digital Reality and published by Namco Bandai. It was released September 7, 2011 for 1200 MSP. A copy of the game was provided for review purposes.

SkyDrift is the perfect combination of Diddy Kong Racing‘s combat system, Plane Crazy‘s realistic art style and visuals on par with Hydro Thunder Hurricane. It’s beautiful, action packed, and frankly a complete blast.
