Microsoft is continually working to better organise our digital game content on the platform and your feedback played a part in that,&#8221; a Microsoft rep told Eurogamer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Part of this new organisation means that Xbox Live Indie Games now has a tile on the top level of the marketplace right next to Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Games on Demand. Inside of the new Xbox Live Indie Games section, you\u2019ll notice that there are New Release, Top Download, A-Z, and Genre options, as well as a rotating carousel that shows off Kotaku\u2019s Picks, Contest Finalists, and can be used to house other content as desired.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This update is something we are extremely excited about as it really brings Xbox Live Indie Games to a higher level of visibility in the dashboard. We believe these changes will help even more gamers find and experience the great offerings you\u2019ve all developed for Xbox Live Indie Games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So basically, XBLIG is back where it used to be, but will it have any impact on the sales of <a href=\"http:\/\/marketplace.xbox.com\/en-US\/Product\/The-war-of-the-end-of-the-days\/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802585505ce\" target=\"_blank\">The War of the End of the Days<\/a>?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32694\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32694\" class=\" wp-image-32694\" title=\"screen3\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3-170x96.jpg 170w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3-297x167.jpg 297w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3-530x298.jpg 530w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3-625x351.jpg 625w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/screen3-250x140.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-32694\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&quot;This game is a shooting game in 3d.
