It is that time of year again where Xbox Live is taken over by indie games, over the next two weeks expect to see a broad showcase highlighting the diversity, talent and potential on Xbox Live as a whole. Indie Games Uprising is all about the community and this year is no different as the organisers look over the best of indie games on the Xbox platform and select the ones they feel will fit into the model they are trying to promote.

The games featured in the Indie Games Uprising III are as follows:

Week 1

• Mon 10th – Qrth-Phyl ($1): Arcade Documentary of maze/dot/snake mechanics within changing dimensions.
• Tue 11th – Sententia ($1): Is an art game that explores the challenges we face to keep our imagination alive as we grow. An interesting puzzler with some much deeper messages.
• Wed 12th – Diehard Dungeon ($1): Randomly generated dungeons for each game you play keeping this dungeon crawler fresh in this interesting take on the genre.
