Axel & Pixel, the highly entertaining point-and-click adventure game is now available at the Xbox Live Arcade exclusively.

Axel & Pixel is a perfect example of the spirit of independent game development. It wowed crowds during the last Penny Arcade Expo last September when it was first shown and PAE expo goers got to play it.

The game was developed by a small Czech Republic-based development company called Silver Wish Games. Axel & Pixel’s story revolves around Axel, a painter, and his dog Pixel, who go on a journey through the Dream World.

The game elements are deceptively simple because of the point and click interface. But the challenges are exciting and can be difficult, a great challenge for any gamer.

I remember Vandal Hearts from the old, venerable Playstation. It was an RPG that I enjoyed and spent hours playing. I’ve always wondered when I’ll ever see a sequel to that game.

A couple of console generations later, Vandal Hearts makes another appearance, but now on the Xbox 360, specifially Xbox Live Arcade.

Vandal Hearts: Flame of Judgement is the first iteration of the classic franchise for next gen consoles. The tactical RPG game will feature new game mechanics couple with great graphics.

Vandal Hearts: Flame of Judgement will again have memorable characters that will help propel the game and make the story so interesting. This is a quality that the original also had. The gameplay will be similar to Final Fantasy Tactics in which your characters move through a 3D isometric battlefield with grids. One new addition to the gameplay of Flames of Judgement is the ability to allow your characters to specialize in a specific task.

Look for Vandal Hearts: Flame of Judgement in Xox Live Arcade.
