Has anyone been trying these out? I'm stacking up the trial downloads (though XBL is still too glitchy to get them all) but I haven't really tried any yet. There are 20-30 games up now, took me totally by surprise. They are all stealth launched so you pretty much have to check online to keep track of them.

No achievements, why would you spend money on this junk

Weapon of Choice is awesome. I'd buy that if any.

The downloads work now. I wanna try out Artoon and Lines.

Artoon is awesome

I downloaded Weapon of Choice and only had enough time to notice how bad the framerate is. The thing kicked me after about a minute of gameplay!

All XNA trials are capped at 4 minutes. Which is gay especially for games with tutorials.

iirc the dishwasher has been picked up as a full xbla game?

i tried weapon of choice, and it's so thrillingly ugly that i want to like it

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #9 on:** November 20, 2008, 11:32:27 AM »

yeah, the Dishwasher is a full XBLA game now. Supposed to come out this fall/winter. Can't wait for it!

Everybody go download IN THE PITTTTTTTTTTT

That's the audio only one, right? I gotta try that out.

Orbital for the GBA did the same thing and it was kinda neat.

A lot of these games are pretty awesome

There's a Jungle Strike knockoff

What's the name of the game that is entirely text and sound based

It's 4 minutes of my life, I just spent 6 watching a guy ask Japanese guys to help out with his wedding. My time isn't valuable.

in to the pit sucked

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #19 on:** December 21, 2008, 09:57:41 AM »

Demos extended to 8 minutes of play for all games.

CaveIn rules. It's kinda like Boxxle.
