Gamasutra had a very nice article about 10 of the best XBox Live Indie Games to come out recently. You can read the full article here.
All of the games they picked are excellent choices and I’ve talked about a few myself on this website. I’d also like to add one more that came out right after the article – Gerbil Physics 2. Gerbil Physics 1 was an excellent puzzle game with a nice sense of humor and the sequel is the same thing but better and with a few new tricks up its sleeves. It’s only 80 MS points. Buy it, love it.
And I really must say, this past week or so has been an awesome time for XBox Live Indie Games. Gerbil Physics 2, JoyJoy, Zombie Estate, Retrofit: Overload, and Mamotte Knight are all very high quality games that each deserve a spot in the top 20 best rated. Even some of the second string games this last week were pretty good – I got sent a review copy of Ranger and though it’s not much more than a glorified flash game (shoot arrows at the incoming hordes, using several power-ups to give yourself an edge), at least it’s a fun glorified flash game.
