The march of technology is a cruel mistress, rendering all but the most well designed titles as dust in the digital winds as the years roll by, requiring the geometric inflation of budgets and development teams just to keep pace. Indie games don’t have to ascribe to these rules, acceptable as it is that they aren’t budgeted like the AAA games of the day, but when an indie game attempts to be something more than another stick-men-em up it’s hard not to be impressed.

Pretty impressive for a community game.

KGB is one such game: woefully dated by contemporary first person shooter standards, yet still a technical achievement: Dropped into a large, fairly open world to explore, the game’s ‘down the sight’ shooting action may be extremely rough around the edges, but is more than serviceable given the circumstances. 2 stars for the actual game then, 5 stars for effort.
