Xbox Live Indie Fights Back
The developers behind the 360 indie scene have crafted their own Summer of Arcade-style event. Check out this amazing trailer for 14 sweet games you may have never heard of in the Winter Uprising.
The Xbox 360 indie games channel can be hard to navigate at times. There are a lot of games, and it's sometimes hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. Some of the best developers on the service have realized the same thing, and have banded together to help each other promote the release of their new games, beginning this upcoming first week of December. In many cases, these are second installments of a franchise, or games produced by legacy Xbox Live Indie developers, so you can expect a step up in quality now that the developers know the system.
The trailer that reveals these games is pretty amazing. Check it out at the bottom of this post to see gameplay from all of the following games coming soon to your 360. When you're done, head over to the Winter Uprising website, where you'll find more info on each game and links to the developers' websites.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
