Indie Gaming on the XBox 360

cyrus_zuo writes "Game Tunnel took a look at some of the indie games that will be available when the Xbox 360 launches (through Xbox live). They've posted a summary that breaks down what people can expect from the oft ignored indie side of gaming, in addition to taking a quick shot at HD, calling it a 'marketing term that people have sold out to.'"

  1. HD is only a marketing term?? by freeweed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I finally came to understand that High Definition is really a marketing term and that anyone believing it is amazing has sold themselves out to big business. The truth is that HD resolution is lower than that of what you'll find on many computer screens.

    Um, yeah, and how exactly is this "selling yourself out to big business"? HD isn't used to describe computer monitors. It's used to describe TELEVISIONS. He can't seriously be suggesting that HD is all marketing fluff, and there's no difference in resolution between a regular SD TV and a HDTV.

    It's like saying "high-speed" internet is just a marketing term, because some people have OC3's to their office. Entirely different markets.
