This weeks Xbox Indie Games Round Up sees 17 new releases and 13 updated titles.
Below is this weeks compilation video of the new releases showing footage from the games. There are a couple of games missing, in particular Message 2 All Friends because it is a total waste of time and Voice Changer 360 because I kept getting microphone echoes and then the game crashed.
Below are this weeks releases and updates sorted in a rough order on how good they are over three categories. Trial impressions have been wrote for the Geddon it! category games, the rest use the developers descriptions. Please take a look at all the games as something may interest you. There are trailers made by the developers for the new releases which can be found on Page 2.

NYAN-TECH is a platform style puzzle game. The aim is simple get the key and get to the exit, but in practice it wont be that easy.

It looks to be a decent platform/puzzle game and well worth the 80 :MSPoints:, more information can be found on the Marketplace.
