![]() Were it to be a smattering of a dozen or so tests of one's ability, it might be justified, but instead what little fun that's there quickly dries up long before the sticker shock can fully set in. Developer: Justin Le Clair Cost: 400 MSP I really like the idea of what Game Training is attempting, but charging 400 Points for what amounts to a DDR biter and only a DDR biter smacks of a rip-off. 1: Dexterity Dex Dex Revolution? Not Quite. ![]() For me, though, a clock that cycles a bunch of scenery and offers very, very little in the way of interactivity just doesn't get my motor runnin', sorry. Gallery: Landscapes Ripoff: (Hopefully) Royalty-Free Photos Developer: Deej Cost: 200 MSP Is slapping together a bunch of stock photos and layering on cheap filters like saturation, emboss, black and white, faked HDR and so on worth 200 Points to you? Sweet, this'll do the trick nicely. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean it's quite worth scooping up as far as I'm concerned, but hey, that's what demos are for, no? Write your own review. That doesn't mean the game is fun, exactly (the AI seems to be able to move it's "finger" paddle faster than you can?), but I'll give 'em props for at least dressing up the game enough to make it obvious there was some effort involved. Write your own review.Įye-Ball Give 'Em The Finger Developer: Von Chrono Cost: 200 MSP I've gotta give Von Chrono some credit he's essentially made yet another Pong clone that doesn't feel like it's a big rip-off. Give it a shot if you're looking for something to scratch that Rubick's Cube fix (and yes, I'm well aware of the fact that I poo-pooed a Rubick's Cube clone, this is just more fun to me for some reason). I just know that Raccoon456 has made a cheap, fun little puzzle game. RotorMania I-I-I-I-I Want the Knife! Developer: Raccoon456 Cost: 200 MSP I wish I could say I knew why I found the simple act of rotating colored squares around a tube to create columns of one color so entertaining, but I can't. It's really only playable as a local multiplayer game, so if you don't have some friends and a few controllers, you won't get much out of the game, but if you do, by all means, check this one out. Surprisingly, the idea really does work, lightly penalizing you for not paying attention to what's been revealed on the board thus far. Meet UR Match What R U waiting 4? Developer: Georges Dad Cost: 200 MSP Take the classic pair matching game of Memory, turn missed matches into a side game of hangman and throw in a bunch of power-ups to help mix up the four player mode (that can use the Scene It controllers, by the way) and you have Meet UR Match. ![]() Arguably the most easy-to-use, simple, powerful tool to making XNA games just hit, and if you've ever wanted to dabble in making something from scratch, you can do it for the equivalent of five bucks. ![]() Well stop reading this and go download it. or you just like the idea of indie games. Developer: MSR Kodu Cost: 400 MSP If you're reading this feature, then you probably make games and you're just waiting to either tear me a new one in the comments or praise my good taste in liking your stuff.

Fortunately for us, toddm is neither greedy nor stingy with offering up his work in progress and the result is an impressively fun little game for just 200 Points.

The menus, the "story," the dialogue, and even the process of switching the color of your "soul" is all done in a way that gives Bennu a damned impressive first impression. Bennu That Ol' Ball 'N Chain Developer: AlMra Cost: 400 MSP Though the controls for attaching a chain to like-colored blocks and swinging around to touch and clear them from a level might feel a little clunky, nearly everything else about Bennu is surprisingly polished and impressively executed.
