  We review the status of indirect Dark Matter searches, focusing in particular
on the connection with gamma-ray Astrophysics, and on the prospects for
detection with the upcoming space telescope GLAST and Air Cherenkov Telescopes
such as CANGAROO, HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS. After a brief introduction where we
review the fundamental motivations for indirect searches, we tackle the
question of whether it is possible to obtain strong enough evidence from
astrophysical observations, to claim discovery of Dark Matter particles. To
this purpose, we discuss some recent conflicting claims that have generated
some confusion in the field, and present new strategies that may provide the
long-awaited smoking-gun for Dark Matter.
