PeggleTake a dash of strange Japanese ball-dropping game Pachinko, add a dash of pinball, tap Sir Isaac Newton on the shoulder for a bit of gravity, and dress the resultant heady addictive cocktail up in bright garish rainbow-coloured tones, and you’ll be a step closer to describing Peggle. In a week when massive Xbox 360 hits like Resident Evil 5 have arrived on the scene,...by Neil Vaughan at June 15th, 2009 at 01:06 pm
CorsairIf there’s one thing the 360 should be remembered for this generation, it should definitely be given plenty of kudos for bringing the XNA Community Games Marketplace to the fore, allowing attic developers and small-time outfits to share their games with the rest of us for a very reasonable price. Being a massive shoot ‘em up fan, I’ve a weakness for the various classic...by Neil Vaughan at June 15th, 2009 at 01:06 pm-

Exit 2Exit started life on Sony’s Playstastion Portable, a platform well suited to its mix of slick action and superb puzzling. The original Exit was ported across to the Xbox Live Arcade a year or so back, and although the sequel has been available on the PSP for sometime, it’s nice to finally see it arrive on XBLA too. Exit 2 follows the first game’s core gameplay of guiding...by Neil Vaughan at June 15th, 2009 at 01:06 pm
Death Tank XBLANow Team 17 are off making Leisure Suit Larry games, I wonder if Snowblind Studios / Flat games are keen to fill the gap left by a distinct lack of an XBLA Worms update. The original Worms XBLA is available for the very reasonable sum of 400 points. Death Tank, the brash and raucous pretender to the parabolic strategy crown is a whopping 1200 points which is the first...by Neil Vaughan at June 15th, 2009 at 01:06 pm
HexothermicDeveloping games for the 360’s XNA community must be a tricky prospect at the best of times. Do you choose to build something crazily ambitious in the hope that people will be wowed by your crazy visuals and box art? Or do you play it subtle and go for simplicity? Hexothermic, from David Webb / Epic Pasta falls into the XNA category of games that take a relatively...by Neil Vaughan at June 15th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
R-Type DimensionsWhenever you see those “best games in the history of gaming” lists, you hardly ever see shoot ‘em ups. Yet, for a glorious period in the early to mid eighties, shoot ‘em ups were the staple fare of youngsters who spent far too little time concentrating on their homework, and far too much time lounging around in seedy arcades blasting the living pixels out of army after...by Neil Vaughan at June 15th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Easy Golf Course ArchitectEasy Golf Course Architect is one of those fun titles in the Community Games section that you can really sink your teeth into. There is quite a bit to do and people who are creative could spend hours with this title. There are a number of different modes for everyone to experience and enjoy. If you want to play some golf there are three different difficulty modes for you...by Brandon Hofer at June 15th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
InterpolInterpol is the latest XBLA game from TikGames. It’s a tricky little game to pigeonhole because it’s part point-and-clicker, and part observational-style gaming. The evil Dr Chaos, anarchistic destructive master criminal, has evaded police and government agents in several countries so you’re called in to track him and his cohorts down, bringing them swiftly...by Neil Vaughan at June 15th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Biology BattleTwin stick shooters have started hitting the Community Games channel with Biology Battle being one of those titles. Biology Battle is set in outer space and in it you take control of a nanobot during its mission inside of a target cell. You basically have to avoid everything that is thrown at you for as long as you can similar to how you would play Geometry Wars. You have...by Brandon Hofer at June 15th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD RemixAt one time, I spent nearly 300 quid to play Street Fighter II at home. This was back in the days when the Super Nintento Entertainment System was a ridiculous price and games for it were even pricier. Three knackered joypads later, I felt it was money well spent – it was the first time I can remember actually feeling that the arcade had truly come home. My name is Peej....by Neil Vaughan at June 15th, 2009 at 11:06 am
