Indie Games Winter Uprising Spotlight on Xbox Dashboard

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."

Good to see Microsoft supporting indie devs.

Cajun Chicken4873d ago

Ironic that the actual Indie Developers had to advertise the service whilst MS wanted to hide it for a few weeks.

kissmeimgreek4872d ago

Not really.

MS had nothing to do with prising, A bunch of devs just got together and decided to do it. Im just excited MS are paying so much attention to the Indie games.

Vega754872d ago

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.

wwm0nkey4872d ago

This isnt Microsoft sponsored, this is Microsoft just showing good will twords the indie creators.

You forgot to add "thank God" at the end of the headline.

tomr29922519d ago

Indeed... Praise the Lord!

V0MIT_M0NSTER2519d ago

So glad that they won't mess with Banjo anymore.

-Foxtrot2518d ago

So you wouldn't want a proper Banjo-Threeie, Jade Empire or Kameo 2...really?

AZRoboto2518d ago

Or Crimson Skies. That was the shiz

FallenAngel19842519d ago

It's a shame we can't get another Banjo-Kazooie game

-Foxtrot2518d ago

Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.

PhoenixUp2519d ago

Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own

AZRoboto2518d ago

I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?

darthv722518d ago

Blinx needs to return if at least to show up Bubsy.

ninsigma2518d ago

Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!

Paytaa2518d ago

Jet Set Radio Future was only on Xbox. Fantastic game. Even better than Jet Set Radio for the Dreamcast in my opinion. Such a good soundtrack too

ninsigma2518d ago

Game was beast and deserves to come back on current gen. And hell yeah plus one for that soundtrack!

Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour (Xbox One) by The Gamerscore Whores

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!”.
