    GMLive 9 and GMIndie Radio 21

    Two Game Maker radio programmes were broadcast today.   The first was GMLive at 11am EST (4pm GMT)  which was followed five hours later by GMIndie Radio.  Although the two radio shows started off very different from each other when they first launched I believe that particularly since the start of the year they have been converging in […] More

    Game Review – TimeStill (Zack Banack)

    It is. It was. It will be. Time is always moving, always flowing. But what if we had the power to stop it? TimeStill, a puzzle platform game by Zack Banack, can. Well, at least it can within the game. The game starts off at a slightly odd menu. The words quickly move back and […] More
