The Xbox Live Indie Games Companion app we first reported (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/17/indie-devs-launching-xblig-app-for-wp7-because-ms-hasnt/) earlier this month is now available on Windows Phone. The app allows for easy browsing of Xbox Live Indie Games, including information, screens and links for each game. The app will even point users to Xbox Live Marketplace, where XBLIG demos or even full games can be purchased directly from their phone. Honestly, the XBLIG Companion looks like a much easier way of finding indie games than on Xbox Live Marketplace itself.

Windows Phone users can nab the app now (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/96964ac8-d3fd-4cb1-919a-c0093e6d221f) for the reasonable price of no dollars. Developer Eat Studios notes that iOS and Android versions of the app "should be available in the near future."http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)XBLIG Companion app available now for Windows Phone (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/07/xblig-companion-app-available-now-for-windows-phone/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Wed, 07 Mar 2012 11:00:00 EST.

Getting it onto iOS and Android will be when it really matters. As much as I love the Windows Phone platform (picking up a Lumia 710 tomorrow), it just doesn't have the market share. The people that watch XBLIG have probably never heard of WP7.
