I've been doing the Indie Game Recaps for over 7 months, most of that time on Negative Gamer. So if you're after an opinion on an XNA game check this list, every recap I've ever done conveniently linked to along with a list of the games covered in each one. There's also some trivia about the development of the recaps and notes on style changes etc. Think of it as developer commentary.
