It seems to be a recurring issue of late — Xbox Live Indie Games developers worried about poor sales. Who can blame them when the marketplace is crowded with fart machines, controller vibrators, and cheesy games about picking up women? Even if a game is good, it often gets flushed off the list of new releases too quickly to get noticed. There’s also the glaring issue of very little front page advertising for these games. The Indie Games channel is much more accessible than it initially was in the most recent system update, but even then some developers feel that’s not enough.

What you’ll find after the jump is my opinion, and mine only. It doesn’t represent our staff as a whole, and it’s certainly not meant to offend.

Hearkening from the campy 1950’s era of science fiction comes a new Xbox Live Arcade title, Unstoppable Gorg.  To be blatantly honest we really know very little about this game. What you see here and in the press release after the jump is pretty much it. No gameplay videos, no list of features. Truthfully it’s a bit frustrating, but that’s part of advertising sometimes. We’ll hold off any judgments until we see some in-game footage.
