The XBLIG Round Up is back after a short break over the holidays with some of the best releases you may have missed out on.
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year? The round up’s will now be every two weeks instead of monthly as a lot of games being released which are too much to cover once a month, but not quite enough good ones to do a weekly article. Also, the layout for the games (after the video) has changed in design and the next article will have a short comment for each game to bring the Round Up back to its trial impressions roots. I hope you like the new changes, please leave any feedback in the comments as we are always interested to read them, good or bad.
NOTE: Developers descriptions are used for the following games. Trial impression comments will return in the next article.
