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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
