    New XboxIndies.com - looking for review sites

    Posts have been pretty bleak lately on XBLIG & Microsoft support, and I can't say they aren't warranted or I don't agree, but I will not go gently into that good night!  Working on ways to increase XBLIG visibility I've worked to relaunch Nick's site XboxIndies.com - not going to go into everything here, you can ready what's up and what's planned at http://www.gamemarx.com/news/2011/03/01/the-relaunch-of-xboxindies-com.aspx

    Part of the site now takes in and aggregates news and reviews from XBLIG sites and if you have a site that is covering XBLIG and would like to be included let me know (just email contact@xboxindies.com).  If you cover more than XBLIG that's okay, I will work with you to either get a XBLIG-only feed from your site or work out a filter in Yahoo Pipes.  XboxIndies.com will just show snippets of your feed, links for the full article will go back to your site.

    I'm just curious about how you are grabbing the game data. The site lists my three games with my company name (post-WP7 release, the way I would prefer it), but the dashboard and Xbox.com still show the games with my real name (the way it was when I first signed up).

    The source is the creators site, which seems to update quicker on these things: http://catalog.create.msdn.com/en-US/GameDetails.aspx?catalogEntryId=9ab8dbd3-a3a5-4ca2-9042-16978e60dab7&type=2

    Go figure, something on the site that works well? I'm shocked.

    Better than the dashboard and xbox.com - the bar isn't set very high!
