Groov

Another Geometry Wars clone, this time it attemps to do something related to music (the best part of the game), but when it cames to speak about gameplay, is a bit too much simple.

World Revolution

A nice game remembering Missile Command, but in 3d and very polished, very well developed, and very interesting in general. Yes, the core gameplay is the same than always, but the game is constructed in a way the player enjoys and feels good.

Machiavelli's Ascent

This game is the classical flash game where the player shoots something to the air, and then has to get some points for hovering enough for being shooted another time, and this until the game ends.

The case is that the game is well developed, is relaxing, and could be considered more or less like "Flow for Community Games". But nothing more.

Happy Face

Happy Face is a match-em-up game in which the player gets a grid with a lof of Happy Faces, and the player has to make any move to a place on the board without being obstructed by other faces.

At the beginning there are only a few faces, but with every move, there appear more faces randomly. The player has to align 5 or more faces to make them dissapear.

The game has bad and very simple graphics, and the gameplay is dull. So... it fails.

RPaints

RPaints is not a game. Is like the paint, but with 360's pad. You know, one of the funniest things in the world.

Air Legends

One of these games that suffers the "Community Syndrome". That means, games with a solid core gameplay, or core mechanism, but that only have that.

In this case we are speaking about a game around dog fighting in 2d, well developed, well realized, but with nothing more than that. There is no a interesting story mode, not nothing appart from dogfighting. That is not so much bad, but for me is not enough.

Developer: Sharky
Score: 6

World Molder

A interesting platform game with a original premise: The player can change the shape of the world by moving several points inside the blocks that form it. Doing this, the player can get to arrive to several points that in other way won't arrive.

Appart from this original premise, the game is a bit dull, having small interest in completing it.

Developer: Laguna/Krazy
Score: 6

Exisled

Another shooter, but this time the player has the chance to move in the entire map with no scroll limits. The problem is that the game is a bit chaotic, but is enjoyable and well developed.

Developer: Gamer Outfit
Score: 7

Cave In

A interesting adventure - match 3 game. In this game the player controls a character that more or less moves the pieces of a puzzle with its own hands. Is funny and interesting, and a bit original.

Solicheck

A nice puzzle game, this time based in the classical board game Checkers, but with the premise that the user has to acomplish a puzzle using checkers moves.

Very well developed, and very funny, appart from a bit too sober.

Developer: Envy Games
Score: 7

Petank Party

A very great game, from a bit boring real game usually played by people that has a big age.

But in this case, is one of the better looking games, and improves the original game by adding some items that you can use for getting advantage durint the match.

Well developed, well done!

Developer: Ufo Games
Score: 8

Joint Strike Future

This is another vertical scrolling shooter, but in this game the game tries to innovate by introducing a colour mechanic, something like an update of the Ikaruga Black / White system, but in this case the player has to press the button of the same colour than the enemy

The problem is that the game is not balanced, and tecnically is poor.

Quarx

A simple puzzle game, in the same league than puyo puyo. Funny, well developed, but a little too humble for being worth of the money it cost.

Developer: BP
Score: 6

The Collector

One simple but more or less original game. The player controls a trolley and has to collect several color balls. He can only have one ball at the trolley, so for getting more has to go to the color place, and push the controller button that has the same color than the ball.

Appart, the player has to dodge the stones. The game has several interesant options, like a multiplayer mode and ... achievements!.

Developer: Aztec Games.
Score: 5

Indirian Solitaire

Another Card game. And we have...

This time is the classical solitaire, with 25 variations ( for example Canfield, Klondike, Spider, Stonewall and Yukon). This is nice for solitaire fans, but the game is ugly and has bad controls. So it is not a good idea to purchase it.

Developer: Indirian Software.
Score: 4

Smashell

A good game, very solid, original and well developed.

In this game the player controls a ball that can jump, can collect items, can perform several moves. More or less, like a complex game like Super Mario 64, with their differences. And very well done.

Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp

A good game that doesn't make the most of all the ability of Xbox 360 for it our benefit. Uses a very little resolution (could be due to his DS origin) and a frame for showing it.

But it has a good artistic direction, and is a funny retro platform.


Developer: IshiSoft

Shed

The typical card game (very similar to UNO), in a very simplistic way in the graphical aspect, but funny, well developed, and funny. All this things made this game interesting, appart from being another card game for Community Games.

Abstacked

Another puzzle game. This type, is something similar to columns, but a bit different. Exactly, this time to clear lines of stars by placing two of the same tiles at the each end of the line.

Is a bit strange to play, and is not a nice game, but, could be funny.

Developer: Phil Lutas.
Score:5

Max the Frog

Interesting puzzle game based in the same idea than zuma, but with it's own touch. Well developed and funny, but a bit simple, making playing more than five minutes something strange. At least, the screen is eye catching.

Give it a try, it's worth of it.

Carneyvale Showtime

One of the best games of all the community, and this is not something i have said, it was the winner of Dream Build Play 2008.

Carneyvale showtime is a game around the possibility to move a clown using several mechanism that are in the screen. It is funny, nice, original, and very well developed. The art of the game attracts you, the controls are easy, it has good tutorials, achievements... is a very complete game.

Easy Golf

One of the best games in the Community. A complete and funny golf game, that includes the possibility to do your own courses. Is developed by a professional person , and you can see the results.

Funny, well developed, very nice looking, really, a must in Xna.

Developer: Barkers Crest

Star Field

A very humble shoot em up, a bit reminiscent of the classics like Space Invaders or Galaga, or Phoenix.

Not a bad game, but is boring, is simple, and has a lot of competence.

Score: 5

Falldown

Falldown is a curious game from a curious company. They make games for big conventions, focused in several multiplayer gameplays.

In this gase, is something like a platform game, where sharpened blades came from above and the player has to escape from them.

Is funny and well done, but is too much simple for playing more than 5 minutes.

Developer: Projector Games
Score: 6

Monaco 360

Let's see... A remake of the Sega original game, more or less exactly as the original, but without licence.

For me, this should be illegal. Appart from that, I dislike the game. I could accept that some nostalgic people will like it, but for me is too arid. But is not a bad game.

Developer: Cognatus Systems
Score: 5

Writer's Block

It's interesting to see a graphical adventure developed for 360. But it is a pitty to see that is developed thinking in the classical mouse oriented interface.

But as I have said, it is interesting this type of game due to the chance to see a interesting plot in a console game. An indie console game.

So, it's not perfect, but is a good game.
