IndieGames.com: "How's this for a complete turn-around - just two months ago, Microsoft had dumped the Xbox Live Indie Games in between Avatars and The Game Room, and now the Indie Games Winter Uprising has been granted its own spotlight on the Dashboard.
That's right, Microsoft has actually done something nice for its indies! A special Indie Games Winter Uprising panel has appeared on the Xbox Dashboard, leading to a list of all the available Uprising games. Not all the Uprising games have been released yet, but we're told that each will be added as released."
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.
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!
Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
Good to see Microsoft supporting indie devs.
Ironic that the actual Indie Developers had to advertise the service whilst MS wanted to hide it for a few weeks.
I like the fact that MS allows you play these indie games as a trail before you purchase the game. Which is great because it would suck to spend money and the game sucks. Your just out of luck if the game isn't good.
they have nothing else.
