GREAT show guys. I love that you're now taking a developer approach.

I found this one very useful, especially for source control tools. Keep it up.

There are sites (like this one!) listed at xboxindies.com that review and rate indie games, to guide you to one you like.

Also, peer review is not a subjective process. There is a list of items things a game must and must not do set by Microsoft (called the "evil checklist"), but developers are not allowed to block another developer's game because they don't like it.

I totally agree with the last section. It's too much of a hassle to search through all the garbage to find the few gems that are out there. I've never submitted an Indie game to XBox myself, but the peer review process must be a complete joke to let so many incomplete and half-assed games through.

Great show. I didn't know about this cast until I saw the Tweet from @gamermarx last night. I had only been listening to the XBox Indie game reviews cast, which got repetitive after awhile.

Doom & Destiny made Dylan's Top 10 list. I think it was pretty interesting just how little overlap there was in our lists.

Too bad Doom & Destiny was out of the list, still enjoyed your original choices that quite differ from the other i've seen outside. Will definitely check out all of them.

I've seen people report the issue with the game locking up before, but it doesn't happen on all Xboxes, and unfortunately doesn't happen on mine.

The freezing does seem to happen when the game is saving/loading information, so others have reported the issue going away if they switch storage devices. Though I'm not sure why that would change from Xbox to Xbox.

I'm trying to work out a more permanent solution, but for anyone who's running into the problem now changing storage devices is probably your best start.

We posts the podcasts to youtube as well, so they are there too! =)

Or if you don't have or want to set up a youtube account for whatever reason you can hit Y to open up the search bar, then just type gamemarx . It's a little more fiddly, but hey, to each their own.

Oh and YAY for youtube and GameMarx on the 360! Now about those podcasts....;)

Thanks for the great vid! Currently I own (or more accurately have ...leased? rented? subscribed to?) over 100 indie titles as opposed to half as many paid-for arcade titles. I, like many of us I'm sure, am caught between a rock and a hard place about what to do in protest other than just voice displeasure...I mean if enough people stop buying points for a while, we hurt indie devs....or if we start purchasing indie titles exclusively, ignoring XBLA altogether, then MS might drown XBLIG completely instead of just watering it down in the dash. I'd love to take a more hard line approach to send 'em a stronger signal, but not sure what else would work.

Anyway, great site, great vid, and keep it up Gamemarx!

It's worth noting that games on Apple's iOS AppStore, using Game Center, have no such problems. Indies are put up right next to EA's games, and the only thing separating them is game quality and marketing budget. They're also distributed in more countries, despite the lack of ratings from an official ratings board.

This just makes me sad.

Great video and information Mike!

As always, much appreciated

If only I could +1 million this post. Microsoft is passive-aggresively pushing out XBLIG's. It's been that way since day 1. I wish the talented Indies would stop returning for more abuse.

Xona Proposal... with some modifications... would give us on Xbox LIVE what Steam gives PC users.

The worst part is you can't sort the indie channel by genre anymore.

Before the update, you could go to the indie channel and browse the games by genre. Now, you can only browse by alphabetic, rating, and top dl....someone at Microsoft is an idiot/doesn't care.

I point that out (the internet) because the common response is Indie devs can build their own leaderboards off of a webservice, or use a service like open feint.
