Star Guard

  Star Guard may have old school graphics but it's gameplay is rich and it's story telling method is awesome. Like some other indie games your previous lives don't just go away, they happened. In this game it was just another guy that died and you are now in control of the person that was behind you. The games simple graphics, simple controls and awesome concept really shine through here.
  This game is about a bunch of guys. These guys are fighting aliens. Though the aliens may kill some of them, they know that they will prevail in the end. The aliens must be defeated before they're armies reach the group's home. But the fighting is tough, and you're never quite sure if you'll be able to do it.
  I really like the game towards the end, it's storytelling really captured me then and I was really looking forward to what was going to happen next. I HAD to beat the game at that point. I'm not a fan of the huge wall of rpg plot that some story driven games have, so the way this game displays it's story is awesome to me. Alot of games these days are trying to pull this sort of thing off but they all fall short of Star Guard.
