		<description><![CDATA[The waiting game is often a tricky one. Sometimes an extended wait can lead to having some of your wildest expectations fulfilled, and then some. On the other end of that spectrum, however, lies disappointment. That doesn’t necessarily mean that what you had finally received was poor by any means, but it simply didn’t live up to what you were hoping for. Brand is one such title which unfortunately suffers the fate of the latter.

		<description><![CDATA[New Life Interactive&#8217;s cancer-curing, voxel-based game, Cell: emergence finally has a release date. The &#8220;action surgery game&#8221; will be released on February 9 on Xbox Live Indie Games for $5 (400 MS Points). Cell: emergence HD will also be released for PC for GamersGate, Gamestop PC Downloads, Green Man Gaming, Playism, and Desura for $8.95. The extra four bucks nabs you almost twice as many cells to destroy, along with improved sound.

		<description><![CDATA[EDIT: Developer Milkstone Studios informs us that an update is coming next week, which will include multiplayer mode The XBLIG Marketplace is notorious for its often campy FMV games (sadly, no Night Trap port yet), Avatar-laden gimmick titles, and games that bear strikingly low production values. On occasion, a gem will find its way between the otherwise generic rocks of games and spark a glimmer of hope into XBLIG again. One such title is Little Racers STREET, the 15th title &#8230; <a href="http://www.armlessoctopus.com/2012/02/02/little-racers-street-review-size-does-not-matter/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

The founder and managing editor of Co-Optimus has teamed up with longtime friend Dave Paul to form Brian Shape Games, and their first release, SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance, is due out later this year for Xbox Live Indie Games and PC.

		<description><![CDATA[Reality TV shows are all the rage. I mean who doesn’t want to watch short-tempered wealthy housewives duke it out in their own little worlds? There isn’t much for us gamers though. Sure, Sony has The Tester, but that’s more absurd challenges as people make their way toward simply testing games. But what about seeing the process of developing a full game, from inception to completion, along with a few kinks in the chain? Fortunately, IGN has concocted such a &#8230; <a href="http://www.armlessoctopus.com/2012/02/01/team2bit-dragon-punches-their-way-onto-ign-reality-show/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>

Nine Dots Studio spent some of the extra time polishing up menus and adding in Avatar support, but we&#8217;re more excited to start shooting flame walls out of that upgradable sword. In the meantime, take another gander at that spiffy trailer. Source: Nine Dots Studio]]></description>

The first mobile Humble Indie Bundle lets you pay what you want for three games: EDGE, Osmos, and Anomaly. If you pay more than the average (right now, a meager $5.04), they&#8217;ll also throw in World of Goo.

		<description><![CDATA[Activision might be about as indie as Metallica these days, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped the goliath of a publisher from releasing Dark Reign Redux on Xbox Live Indie Games for $5. The remake of the 1997 PC RTS popped up on the Marketplace yesterday with nary a press release or hint of marketing to support it. At least Activision got that part of the indie formula correct. The port was handled by Magnetar Games, and there is also a browser-based &#8230; <a href="http://www.armlessoctopus.com/2012/01/28/activision-clandestinely-drops-dark-reign-redux-on-xbox-live-indie-games/" >&#8594;</a>]]></description>
