I liked the use of different pics for "Pimp Us", and I liked more the credit for ShamWow at the end.

Hey Nick, love the show. You know if the order of the video's tags matter? Might get more hits if you put "Xna", "review"and "community games" at the front.

Tried searching Google for the answer, but I couldn't find anything conclusive. I did however get more relevant results when I switched the search terms from "tag order youtube" to "youtube tag order" :P

[filliamfuffman]

i like orbyx too, could of used some more storyline, like you mention to become like puzzlequest, maybe in sequel.

[nicktheduderino]

Yeah I didn't really pay attention to the story, although I'm glad there's something there for people who want that. Puzzle quest + peggle = awesomitivity

[filliamfuffman]

the first version of orbyx we reviewed in creators club only had one audio segway. now theres one at the beginning and after every main level. I like how the sorceress talks lol.

[cevo70]

Nice review Nick. We're on the same page here. Great title for XBCG regardless of the clone talk. I almost mentioned Puzzle Quest in my review as well. Leveling system and an item shop? Oh my. :)

[nicktheduderino]

I think clones are okay as long as they A. clone a good game, and B. try to improve on the original. I think Orbyx hits both those right out of the park.

Thanks for Watching and commenting!

I love the XNA Roundup logo.  I like the backgrounds too. I also like how you're only rating the better games, since it's already way too easy to find the bad ones. My only suggestion: The font at the end is hard to read. I didn't even notice at first that Xona Games was listed in there. I'm picky with fonts. Looking forward to the next show, as usual...

[nicktheduderino]

I hear you about the font, I'll eventually reboot the show, and when I do that font is prob the first to go. Thanks for watching and commenting. Can't wait for your game!

[HemiGames]

Hey Nick. I'm the guy who wrote Orbyx and I just wanted to say thanks for the review! The video's great and I'm glad you liked the game. I've put a lot of effort into making it so it's nice to know that at least a few people are enjoying playing it.

Cheers,

Chris.

[nicktheduderino]

Chris,

Thanks so much for your comment and your awesome game, the amount of work you put in really shows and made my job of finding a great game super easy, I'll probably be doing another top ten list pretty soon and you'll almost definitely be on it. I think your game will sell really well, this show got a lot of views really quickly and that has a lot to do with the quality of your game.

Thanks,

Nick

Wow Duality ZF looks sick!

I'm probably going to find and review a game on community games Thursday/Friday. I've been experimenting on how to use my recorder to record xbox games. If I line it up right it should look pretty okay. I can record in 1080, even tho the tv isn't going to be playing in HD :P.

[matthewdoucette]

thanks, austy, glad our game trailer leaves an impression.

[nicktheduderino]

awesome, i haven't had many entries so your odds are looking good.

Thanks for watching!

[arrogancy]

Orbyx looks really good; looks like a buy.

[matthewdoucette]

it does and i've played it. it's a really good game.

[thomasjay112]

Great job as always. Thanks, Nick.

[NeloIce]

will clover and or halfbrick echoes be reviewed next week? just noticed they came out and demos were pretty fun

also cant wait to play duality zf especially since i just got raiden fighter aces which is freaking awesome

[xnaroundup]

I saw that a bunch of cool stuff came out as I was in production, but havent had a chance to play them yet, Look for a bigger episode next week, can't guarantee they'll be in there but if they're fun, for sure!

[matthewdoucette]

raiden fighter aces is out? that's a definite buy for me. where'd you buy it from? i might have to order from the usa, amazon maybe.

thanks for the duality zf compliment! it's quite amazing that we get references to raiden, but i have to admit it's a totally different gaming experience.

[NeloIce]

yeah just came out yesterday i picked my copy up at gamestop(which seems to be the only b&m that has it) otherwiser the other options are gamestop online or amazon

[XboxHornet]

I am loving Orbyx and highly rocommend it to all peggle fans, I love the paddle levels.

[gruntchampion]

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks man, game is cool, will have a bigger episode next week. seeing some wicked stuff coming out all of a sudden, I'm stoked.

[matthewdoucette]

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks Matthew,

You guys on schedule for release?
