I might go back to the original twice weekly format to save a bit of time as I dont want it taking up most of my Sunday mornings :) The visitor feedback on indie game releases would be great and would really help me to see what to look out for. I will try and get something set up for that. What I will try and do is every couple of days, download and play the releases and note any that are good then do the trial impressions for them.

You don't have to cover all the crap that's being released but could at least mention potential highlights. I've checked out 6 of the games listed in the roundup, ended up purchasing 2 of them (Gravitron => must-buy, Jump'n Bounce => better than it looks on the screenshots) and was very tempted to buy two more (Monsters probably stole..., G!) but didn't because I felt I had seen everything they had to offer during the trials. Also, Perplaxis is a nice but slightly overprized puzzler (although very polished). I'm looking forward to your new approach to the roundups and will try to help out in the meanwhile by posting my recommendations in the comments. We don't want hodsey wasting her precious time, do we? ;-) It’s a good idea to at least point out the games that might be worth checking out.

I will try some ideas for next weeks indie game trial impressions/round up and get some feedback on it and take it from there. Also in the next couple of months we hope to start a short video show which will be indie game based covering reviews and new releases. Nothing is set in stone yet but we hope to do this as I think it is the best way to promote indie games. More news on this at a later date.

But I definitely miss it, and actually think this may partly be the reason I've not played many indies for ages - like you say, people just don't have the time to try them all, and I certainly don't, so I used to check out your initial feedback before deciding if it was a game worth a try. Ah well.... Hopefully it will make it back some day....

The past week for example had over 30 releases. If I continued doing the original trial impressions it would roughly work out as follows: 30 x 8 minutes to play each game = 4 hours Write impressions on each game is say around 3 minutes each x 30 = 90 minutes minimum It would probably take around 6 hours to write the article once I put it all together. I felt that the time would be better spent fully reviewing the indie games that we get instead of doing the trial impressions. Now we have more reviewers working on the site it does free up some time for me so I hope to do the trial impressions but on a smaller scale, maybe pick the better games released during the week and do them, and the rest will just have the description. Thanks for the feedback though, I hope you understand why the trial impressions have been stopped for the moment. The sheer number of releases is very time consuming.

Since the site has become bigger and was renamed it's lost some of its appeal to me. The roundup has become rather useless this way. Emuholic should have stayed focused on xbox indie games, because sometimes less is more. Sad but true: The beginning of the end, it's Gamergeddon! I agree with hodsey.

Is this 'cos your xbox is still broke or 'cos there are so many this week, perhaps? It was one of the things that set your site apart from others, I thought :) I used to like the way your gave your initial impressions on an Indie, after only playing the trial, rather than the game’s synopsis from the devs….
