Today I spent the day looking at the indie games available on Xbox live. Honestly this community channel needs to get a quality filter on it, for every great game like avatar golf there's a rubbish app like LCD test or fireworks hd. I mean seriously these aren't even games by any stretch of the imagination.

Anyway I just wanted to highlight a few gems I found

You play as Johnny as he jumps and double jumps his way into a coffee fuelled frenzy. Nice retro gameplay and available for only 80 MSpoints

Fight your way across a strange planet killing aliens and rescuing your buddies as you go. This game is one of my favourites from the launch of community games, well designed and amazingly fun too play. Available for 240 MSpoints

Leave home looks great and plays great, wonderful for score junkies everywhere. Available for 240 MSpoints

That's my 3 personal favourites for Johnny biscuit romp there is now a Xmas themed sequel but its 240 MSpoints so I still recommend the original. Now here is an example of the games I think should be removed making it easier for us gamers to find actual games.

One for the strange Xbox is littered with rubbish apps that make no sense to anyone such as the above.

Overall i would say that the quality of the games on indy games is going up, many new releases feature avatar support and even surpass the build quality of many xbla games. at the same time how ever there is a constant parade of rubbish apps coming and this needs to stop.

its indy games not the app store :(
