XNA Community Games

[Flawless]

Thought I would start a thread so we can discuss these. There's already a good amount of games up now, and you can expect many many more since they don't have to go through Microsoft's stringent certification process. Keep in mind most of these are developed by amateurs.

Some of the games that I thought are cool were Weapon of Choice, Artoon, Bloc, and Blow. There's a game called Being and even without the time mechanic, it's so obvious that game was heavily inspired by Braid.

I wish the trial versions for these were longer though. They all seem to be timed for only 2-5 minutes of play. Blow ends before the tutorial is over.

Re: XNA Community Games

In the Pit is one of the strangest ideas for a game ever.

An "audio-only" stealth action game. Control a horrible monster who lives at the bottom of a dark pit and eats the people who fall in!

Re: XNA Community Games

I'm really interested in the golf game. The course edit function could give this game a lot of re-playability.

I could never see myself sitting at my desk staring at a black screen, moving nothing, and just listening.

This would be a good interactive game for a blind person. But for anyone else........uhhhhhh........I pass

I wouldn't call that a "game" for the blind, I'd call that "life"....
