XNA Team Extends Community Games Download Deadline
Just a quick note those Xbox 360 owners who want to take advantage of Microsoft's recent XNA Community Games sneak peak via Xbox Live. While originally the games were to be available until Sunday night, Gamerscore Blog reports that the XNA Team have in fact extended the deadline by two days.
This means that you now have until Tuesday, February 26th at Midnight PST to download the XNA Community Game Launcher and the seven accompanying games. I really enjoyed playing The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, moreso than Jellycar. There is quite a bit of buzz around Little Gamers, as well. Once downloaded, the time limited demos will play for 16 days, so enjoy the sneak peak of things to come while you can. Microsoft's XNA Community Games will launch in a more official capacity later in the year, but I definitely enjoyed the taste of things to come.
Meanwhile, I'm off to pick myself up a Dishwasher t-shirt to show some community support.

While I enjoyed the Dishwasher demo (and was pretty let down by Culture), I was extremely disappointed to find out upon playing the game that you play as a human. I was fully expecting and quite hyped up on the idea of playing as a dishwashing machine on a rampage.
Keith, I'm so glad that I'm not the only person that thought this exact same thing. I loved the look and feel of Little Gamers, but I found it pretty shallow.
The good news here is that this extended deadline gives me more time to catch up to and destroy TexCub's N+ score on the leaderboards. >:)
I'm working hard on N+! It's my first time with the game and I'm really enjoying it. If by "enjoying" you mean "obsessive-compulsively repeating intricate tasks while swearing to no one in particular," then yes.
I think I'm around episode 28 right now, but I'm sure I'll work on it some more this week between bouts of Lost Odyssey.
