How Do I Access The Indie Game Marketplace on XBox Live?

Post by BurningDoom »

I've tried every avenue on the Game Marketplace and I can't find it anywhere. I saw a review of WizOrb on CGR Undertow. It looked pretty fun and was only $3, only problem is I can't freaking find it.

Do I need XBox Live Gold?

Ok, from the main dashboard, scroll up to Game Marketplace. Click on Explore New Games.

From there, scroll up to Games and Demos (without clicking anything), then from there scroll right over to Indie Games. Just click on that and you're in.

All Indie Games now have a blue heading on their cover art, so you'll know them when you see them.

Edit: Just for the sake of saying so, I did some poking around and found that apparently you have to be connected online to play any indie games you've purchased. Even so, a Silver account should suffice for that.

To be honest last time they did a dashboard change and moved things around, I remember having trouble finding Indie Games myself.

Yeah, that's the point. You shouldn't have to "find" it, right? It should be visible, available.

I thought you were throwing a bone at BurningDoom but now I definitely see what you mean. :lol:

And totally agreed. The old layout from a year or two ago was so much better. And I hear they're revamping the damn dashboard AGAIN this winter? Ugh...

Bet they're going to add separate tags or sections for Facebook, Twitter, etc. I can't wait. CAN'T WAIT.

I always liked the original dashboard best. NXE was lame, and this new one looks even dumber. Too bad 360 didn't get it right from the start like XMB. *feels smug*
