    Don't Sleep on Xbox Live Community Games

    I bought a new 1600 point card online the other day and was looking for some new stuff to try. Most of the Xbox Live Arcade games are garbage, so I checked out the community games for the first time. Believe it or not there is actually some pretty good stuff in there, and a lot of it you can get for 200 points. I ended up buying the following games:

    Being: An awesome platformer. It sort of reminds me of Mario. You do a lot of jumping around, finding keys, and unlocking doors. There's stuff that can kill you and you can fall to your death. It's a lot of fun, but it can be frustrating too because if you make a mistake before a checkpoint you have to start back over. Very well done game.

    Zoomaroom: It's somewhat similar to Being but different enough that it was worth me buying.

    ZP2K9: This is a multiplayer shooter where you run around levels picking up different guns and blasting whoever stands in your way. Although I think the sword is my favorite weapon lol. When I first got it I didn't know what to think, but got into a fun room and wasted an hour. It seems like there are always people playing this.

    Jackpot Stadium: This is like pinball meets air hockey. Great game, the only downside is that it has no multiplayer. I hit up the creator online and he said that they would add it if the game does well enough.

    I have some points left so I'll probably scoop up some more games tonight if the demos are fun. If they're worth mentioning I'll drop my thoughts in here. If anyone else has any decent ones let me know.

    LMAO @ one game though. Check out this description.

    Remote Masseuse

    Solo mode lets you use your own controller to relax. Different vibration settings allow you to give the massage you want to give or receive. Supports voice chat so you can request the perfect massage. Great for long distance relationships.
    Wow hahah.

    CarneyVale Showtime is great. Reminds me of Peggle a little. Very polished for a Community Game. Only 400 points and it has a map builder.

    CarneyVale: Showtime is a vertical ragdoll platform game. In the game, you play as Slinky, a circus acrobat trying to rise up the ranks by performing acrobatic tricks and death-defying stunts through increasingly complex arenas.



    Blow is cool and really relaxing. It's 200 points. Miner Dig Deep is worth checking out too.
    Go Noles!!! >>----->

                  Blow seemed kinda cool but the trial didn't last long enough to make a proper judgement. Do you have to be on XBL to play the full games or just the trials?

                  On another note I don't how some of these are allowed to be on there,copyright infringement much?

                    Petneck Party is actually really cool.

                    It's worth checking out as well.

                    The idea behind the game is that you have 2 teams. Team 1 throws out the "Jack" then you toss 3 balls per each team. The 3 closest balls to the jack scores points.

                    Team that reaches the point total wins.

                        There was another one with Dishwasher that I loved. You were little kids in a day care and went around killing people. LOL No clue what it was or anything, but it was hysterical.

                        EDIT - Found it!!



                        I need that game to come out, I'll buy it in a second.

                            Some of these sound interesting.

                            May be a dumb question, but how exactly do you get to these "Community" games anyway?

                              Go on XBL then to where it says Community Games.
