Sixteen new releases and three updated titles in this weeks round up of Xbox Indie Games.
I created a compilation video of footage from each of this weeks new releases which comes in at just under ten minutes, check it out just below. We are now working on creating an intro and transition animations for future videos and we welcome any ideas. I will create a full post on this with more information during the week, but basically we are ideally looking for an intro of around 5 to 10 seconds and a short transition animation of around 2 to 4 seconds. If you have any ideas then please reply in the comments below.
Here are this weeks releases and updates sorted in a rough order on how good they are with a trial impression for the best. Please take a look at all the games as something may interest you. Trailers for the new releases can be found on Page 2.
