Xbox Live Indie Games Releases: August 29, 2010

XBLIG_Releases_DIYGamer

[While our XBLIG Thursday feature fights against the main issue of Xbox 360’s Indie Games channel–gaming brilliance being lost in a sea of medicore titles and cheap apps–as good as anything out there, there’s just too many total releases for us to try them all.

That being said, we can still highlight them on a daily basis, and perhaps posting these new titles will benefit both player and developer by allowing a connection to be made before the game floats on down the river and into the backlogs of the channel. Whether it be an all-time great, a one time play-through or a complete lemon; all will have their chance to speak. Here are today’s releases.]

Fish Squid Time Machine (80 MS Points)
“Fish Squid Time Machine is scary and loud. Also the controller often vibrates. I hear that’s called rumbling. There is a donkey. I’m not sure why.
