Regular readers of Alternative Magazine Online will know we are strong advocates of the indie gaming scene. Which is why we got really excited when we heard about The Indie Love Bundle!
FEATURE ARTICLE – The Sopranos: A Retrospective
By Marty Mulrooney
It cut to black. This sprawling, modern day mafia epic was over. But just why was The Sopranos so successful?

GAME REVIEW – Mr Smoozles Goes Nutso (Juniper Games, 2006)
By Marty Mulrooney
Mr Smoozles Goes Nutso is the brainchild of Steve Ince, an award-winning writer and designer with over 17 years experience in the gaming industry, including helping to write and design the much loved Broken Sword series of adventure games during his time at Revolution Software.
Mr Smoozles Goes Nutso is also Mr Ince’s valiant first attempt at branching out and designing a small indie game created largely by himself. Based on his own online comic strip (Mr Smoozles), the game has a charm and identity that feels delightfully retro. It will also feel very familiar to fans of his design work and the previous games he has worked on. I was certainly very interested to see what this world-class designer would be offering players with his indie gaming debut.

GAME REVIEW – Chime (Xbox Live Arcade)
By Duncan Voice
I did a nice thing today. I purchased a great little game and donated to charity by doing so. Chime by Zoë Mode is a production for OneBigGame, an industry wide charity initiative, and over 60% of the purchase price (a meagre 400 MS points which equates to less than a fiver) is donated to OneBigGame’s charity partners Save the Children and Starlight Children’s foundation. And it’s bloomin’ lovely too.
