Xbox Live Indie Games has garnered a reputation for being an unpredictable roulette wheel of weirdness, failure, and several real gems, so a coalition of indie developers are out to give it a little PR boost. The Indie Games Winter Uprising (via The Escapist) wants to start “fighting back against mediocrity and lameness the best way we know how – by releasing amazing games!” The first week of December will see a list of titles go up for sale for 80 to 400 Microsoft points (about $1.00 to $5.00), including a Soulcaster sequel, a secksy dual-stick shmup that emphasizes the tried-and-true combination of large guns and boobs, and something called Asteroids Do Concern Me. Well, they concern me too, buddy.

The Uprising is currently 14 games strong, and the biggest headline-grabber so far is Ska Studios‘s ZP2KX: Zombies and Pterodactyls!, sequel to ZP2K9. You might recognize Ska Studios from (cut-and-paste is my friend) I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 1NIT!!!1 and The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai. With indie pedigree like that, this Winter Uprising should have enough legs to storm the gates and kick the doors in.
