indiePub has published its weekly list of new and notable Xbox Live indie games.
From the article:
"Best best this week look to be tilty puzzler Mr. Gravity, multiplayer plane game Paper Craft, adorable flying bee-pig shooter bumblepig, side-scrolling fighter Sky Ninja War, save-the-center shooter Nucleon and the Minesweeper-style puzzle game called Bomb Locker."
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Video Chums: Paper Mario: The Origami King is a hilarious game with a ton of variety in its world and a clever new puzzle-based battle system. There's so much fun to be had that if you don't already own a Switch, this will act as a fantastic reason to go out and get one.
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!
The channel nobody takes very seriously due to 99% of it being dire.Wake up MS and promote better the really good amongst all this. MS and the community should also come together a bit more on the idea that truly pointless worthless trash software shouldn't pass review .xbla in fairness also has it's fair share of forgettable duffers released regularly
Some great stuff on here - i own around 10 Indie games - but the better of games stand less of a chance thanks to most of the other sh!te.No different i guess than how the Wii struggles this way but it's actually worse on xbox indie
If you can be bothered to research for games of worth on indie then you will eventually find genuinely excellent ones here, but lets be honest, most dickheads using xbox don't even know about xbla, let alone the indie channel
And to think it really could have been the Youtube of games this way
Both the fault of community for making 99% of the bollocks and a failure from MS that allows too much easy access to so called game designers that release these abominations. Talent in the form of those that know the art of programming thrown away on useless trashy games that waste everybodies time
That said, if you don't ever visit the indie channel every so often, you will genuinely miss out on the occasional gem here
Also worth noting that Dragon Forge is 100% not worth any of your money.My personal opinion of course but unless the full game offers precisely 100,000 times more fun than i had from the trial, i can't see it.Excellent graphics though on your dragon
