21 new games and 7 updates in this weeks round up of Xbox Indie Game releases.
First on to some good news. Earlier this week, Microsoft changed the location of the Indie Games on the Xbox dashboard. This means it is no longer in the ‘Specialty’ area and is now alongside the other games, where it should be! Well done to everyone that stood up for the changes and thanks to Microsoft for seeing the sense to change it.
There is no indie game compilation video this week. I could lie… but I spent most of the week playing Black Ops 🙂 The video should hopefully be back next week, though it will be slightly shorter only covering the better games. Editing 20+ videos every week takes a long time and this format will be closer to the proper indie games video that we hope to start in the new year.
Here are this weeks releases and updates sorted in a rough order on how good they are over three categories. Please take a look at all the games as something may interest you. Trailers for the new releases can be found on Page 2.
