This weeks round up of Xbox Indie Games includes Hedge Wizard, Nucleon and Mr. Gravity.
Below is the compilation video of the weeks releases. I forgot to rename the title at the start and I noticed after uploading the video so it was too late to change.
Up next are this weeks releases sorted in a rough order on how good they are over three categories. There are no ‘Geddon it!’ category games this week as I did not feel any were an instant purchase. Trial impressions are usually wrote for the Geddon it! category games but there are none this week so all use the developers descriptions. Take a look at all the games as something may interest you. Trailers for the new games are found on Page 2.
