Xbox Live Community Watch - 1/30/09
I'm trying something a little different this week with the community watch, hopefully to make it easier for all of you nice folks to find some quality games. So without further delay, I present Yay, Nay, or Ay?
Yay
Revenge of the Ball - 200 MS points. One part Pong and one part Space Invaders, Revenge of the Ball has you bouncing balls around a square field with a catch: the balls can fight back. It can get pretty hectic when you're trying to return the balls while dodging missiles and lasers. Site.
Don't Fear the Sweeper - 200 MS points. Sure it's just a Minesweeper clone, but it's a darn good Minesweeper clone. PC users might not need to get it since they already have Minesweeper, but if you're a Minesweeper deprived Mac or Linux user then definitely check it out. Site.
Simply HangMan - 200 MS points. It's Hangman. There's not much else to say here. It's got a 56,000 word dictionary, a great paper presentation, and even supports the Xbox chat pad. What more could you really ask for from a Hangman game? Site.
Nay
Fields: Soldier of Time - 400 MS points. Though good in theory this 3D side-scrolling shooter is plagued by stiff, ugly animations and bugs that are just too bad to overlook. If there is a wall that I can't shoot through, enemies shouldn't be able to shoot me through it either. Site.
Bounce Crazy - 200 MS points. You control a hand throwing basketballs and soccer balls into an opponent's goal while simultaneously blocking your own goal. It had potential, but there are just too many balls on the field at once and more goals are scored due to random bouncing than your own efforts. Site.
Ay?
Rumble Massage - 200 MS points. This isn't really a game so much as a program to make your controller vibrate. It allows you to control the intensity and pulse frequency of the vibrations. It claims to be for neck and shoulder massages, but I'm sure there are *ahem* other uses for it. Site.
