The Indie Games Summer Uprising Begins

By Mikey Kenney

The first title to start the uprising is Raventhorne, no relation to Ravenclaw.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

It’s really nice when the Indie games get the attention they deserve.  Xbox Live is showing off some of their indie games coming up in what they call the Indie Games Summer Uprising.  The first game that is leading the charge is a game called Raventhorne. Raventhorne is a side scrolling hack and slash kind of game with your basic sword, shield, and magic gameplay. The trailer shows off how the game looks and performs, and it looks to be a pretty sweet deal for only 240 Microsoft Points. Raventhorne is available now in the Indie Games Summer Uprising section of the XBLA marketplace.
