Top 21 Community Games on the Xbox 360, XNA Roundup #21

[DaRkzVeLoCiTy]

could you make a top 10 multiplayer indie/community games?

[EliteTarget]

omg laggy as balls

[MLGKFC]

I would like to point out Miner Dig Deep is only 80 M$ points now. That's a steal.

[BEANSvsPENCILS]

No it's still there

[maxim2266]

did they delete community games aka indie games? i cant find it anywhere on the market place and its starting to frustrate the fuck out of me!

anybody know?

[rewardsguy007]

if anyone hates paying for xbox live gold than get it free from FreeXboxLiveGoldMembership INFO

[Pixelrelated]

Miner dig deep looks like a copy off of motherload, but better. Motherload was a flash game that came out like in 2006 and it works exactly the same. Trino looks like rat attack. In rat attack you make electricity circles to capture enemies.

[RiveraWesleyj1c]

[redfaman]

[magicgreig]

ZP2K9 is better than Miner : )

[HAPPYxBANANAxCAKES34]

[Graype07]

I love this show!

[austy108642]

I bought miner dig deep a while ago after watching your review of it. I only played it once because I got stuck in my mine. How do I get out of an area if you get stuck?

[nicktheduderino]

I think you either hold both the left and right triggers, or both bumpers and you go back to the top minus all your stuff, yeah the game doesn't have the best in game tutorials/help.

[austy108642]

Thanks Nick! I may have to try it out again. If you liked this game, play the flash game Motherload. Very similar to it, and extremely addicting.

[matthewdoucette]

this was exactly what happened to me, and ruined any chance of me buying the game. this episode made me check it out again (miner dig deep) and you have to told both triggers to get out of the mine if you get stuck. i think that's the most important control to teach newcomers!

[cavalcadegames]

3 things to improve the program:

1. stop with the jerky movement

2. file those fangs.

3. a better suit

otherwise, keep up the good work!

[XboxHornet]

Great eposide Nick and a fine list of games

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks XboxHornet! how goes the blog?

[Econogreen]

Great list Dude. I don't think I would of been able to make a list, too many great choices!

Glad to see Miner Dig Deep still reigns supreme. I don't know how many hours I poured into that game, always working towards another goal, there's always more to do! That combined with the cheap price makes the game a must buy. At 200 points, there is no excuse not to own this game!

[nicktheduderino]

Econogreen, Thanks a lot! it was tough even with 21 slots I felt like I could have added more, just goes to show you the promise of the section.

Yeah miner dig deep is radness, and sooo cheap too.

Thanks for watching!

Nick

[LeeIsAce2]

It's nice to see Trino and Clover get the praise they deserve. I was surprised by the absence of Artoon though, that game is awesome.

[nicktheduderino]

Hey, thanks for watching!

I think I have a blind spot for Artoon, everyone seems to love it but I'm just meh, not my thing i guess :(

Anyway thanks for watching and chiming in, enjoyed your thoughts.

Nick

[carpiohome]

A couple of personal faves didn't make the list. Groov and HalfBrick Blastoff.. oh well.

But overall great list. Although not a fan of weapon of choice (the only one I had issues with on the list).

[nicktheduderino]

If you want to review groov we still have a contest going you can win a copy of your in the movies, gears 2, or a rock band t-shirt. Check out episode 16 for details. so far I only have one entry :( so your odds are good.

Anyway thanks for watching

[babylonian]

How long is the contest going until? I have a good idea for a review!

[nicktheduderino]

Awesome! Try and get it to me in a week or so.

[nrXic]

Considering that many XNA developers (who needs websites for their games) check XNA Roundup out...GoDaddy's decision to have an ad here was GENIUS.

And of course, excellent show. All great titles, I agree.

[SabreXT]

I'm against adverts in review shows. There always the question mark about every review over the infuence of the sponsor.

[Khalos44]

I'm normally totally with you on that one. I don't like seeing game advertisements during game reviews, but I really don't think GoDaddy is pushing for bias reviews towards any game.

[V34DK]

Well, since nobody would ever pay to watch a shows like XNA Roundup - it is the best way for the show creator/hosts to earn money.

[nrXic]

I can see your point. Very valid. Though I'm confident Nick will tell it like it is.

And I guess that points to why having GoDaddy as a sponser being a good idea...they won't affect review scores.

[Stegersaur]

Why is it when I think of these kinds of games I always forget about Miner Dig Deep? I think the art in it always pushes me away at least slightly. A few controversial choices were in there in my mind, but overall a lot of good choices.

[nicktheduderino]

Let's start the controversy!

What do you think should have made it, not made it?

[Stegersaur]

First of all we clearly don't have enough massage apps... wait no... no. The main ones I missed were Bio Battle, Little Racers, and perhaps Easy Golf. I kinda understand why though since they are all a bit "derivative". There are a few games that were there that I thought shouldn't be, but considering I actually like the developers I'm not going to point out which ones I thought were overhyped ;).

[matthewdoucette]

biology battle deserves to be on here, especially at 400pts now. i own it.

[matthewdoucette]

and by "on here", i mean in the top 21 as well as on this show. maybe you can do a best xna shmups show, but wait for duality zf to be released of course! !!

[matthewdoucette]

really shows xblcg is coming along...

[nicktheduderino]

That struck me too, i could have added more games but heck, 21 is probably too many anyway.

[ayumelove]

Really thankful for your work dude. Suprised like no one else is coverin XNA games. Hope your shows blows up.

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks so much! I hope it blows up too, now go use those godaddy codes!! lol :)

[SashaNein]

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't been able to buy many XNA games, but I did buy Orbyx based on this show's recommendation.

How did you get the sponsorships? Do they pay OK?

[cevo70]

Great list Nick - covers the hottest titles for sure. Nice mix of genres too - a little for everyone.

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks for watching, I try to keep it that way, glad you noticed. :)

[RichPwns]

cool

[nicktheduderino]

word

:)

[Nukerjsr]

First! And awesome list!

[nicktheduderino]

You rock!

Thanks for watching!
