The Beginning

Welcome to xIndies...

After seeing site after site close down or fall away from dedicated Xbox Indie Game coverage and coming to the realization that I could contribute to the Indie community, I created this blog. I wanted a place where people could get coverage dedicated to games that fall under the Xbox Indie title. With that, I say welcome. Please ignore the mess as I'm getting started and please feel free to critique or give suggestions.

Not only will you find recommendations here, but interviews, contests, news and editorials. If you've ever wondered what hidden gems might be hiding under the Indies section of the marketplace or curious how these games stack up or add to the already impressive selection of Arcade titles, then this is the blog for you.

About the Reviews:
Here at xIndies, we grade on a simple scale: Buy, Try, or Pass. Though the scale is seemingly simple enough to understand, you should know that a "Buy" rating means that the general audience of this blog will enjoy this game and the price is equivalent to the value of the game. "Try," means that the general audience should download a demo of the title and decide if that experience is worth the price the devs are asking. Finally, "Pass" means the game is, in general, something our core audience would be ultimately unhappy spending money on, whether the game is broken, ugly, boring, or adding nothing new, a game marked "Pass" ultimately fails for the general consumer.
