Checking a few indie game blogs, I ran across some excellent-looking games coming out soon for PSN and XBLA. These micropublishing platforms have been extremely good for the indie games community, which is thriving. It’s also good for us gamers: for instance, I just finished Zeno Clash and it was extremely refreshing. Check out these three awesome trailers.

Some sort of Solar Jetman or Sub-Terrania-esque action-puzzler. The music is High Frequency Bandwidth, I understand. PSN.

Mother of god. It’s a cross between Blaster Master and Bionic Commando, two of my favorite games of all time. Here’s hoping it’s half as awesome as that sounds. For XBLA.
