Good job, but I think you should make each review just a TAD, just a tad, longer.

That's my opinion anyways.

5/5

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks man, yeah that seems to be the concensus. I appreciate you taking the time to give feedback.

Another good review! I like all of the different formats for the show that you have tried so far. Keeps it interesting.

Are there any other older xna titles like Dishwasher that are worth mentioning due to their high level of polish?

[nicktheduderino]

Hey, thanks! I appreciate that, yeah the funny thing is the varied format thing is usually a result of me scrambling to make a show when there arent really any great releases that week, i guess necessity is truly the motherof invention. lol

I'll check that out and prob. do a show about the forgotten titles of the community games tab

little racers is hard... i think i played 5 or 6 races, came last most, and placed 2nd once. lol

off road would be so sick, remember that horn noise, for 1 lap to go, soo epic! lol

I just stumbled over XNA Roundup and have watch #1 to #13 in one sitting. I like both formats where if the game warrants it, you take some time and go into a bit more depth as well as those games that whilst are still fun, are kinda almost self explanatory upon watching them for a minute or so.

I will definitely keep on watching. Keep up the excellent work!

Hey good work again, you should check out the game Easy Golf, it's a $5 arcadey golf game with a great wee course editor and a small but good community going! Cheers again for good work mate!

i liked the shortish reviews. most cg are short too. if someone makes a complex game, have a complex review.

[matthewdoucette]

i disagree with the negative reviews. i found your show showcased how many good games that were on xblcg (and from xna), whereas everyone else just ripped it apart. what to avoid doesn't help much, because it's 95% of the games. you cannot cover it all. i find the gamers are already avoiding them all, so it's best to show them what not to avoid. just my two cents!

It's just tower defence, done well. Seeing what rediculous peice of modern 'art' is going to come next kept me playing for a long while.

It's free, google it if your interested.

Your show has definitely turned me on to a few games that I otherwise would not have checked out. Generally I find the two things that draw me in are the name of the game and the box art. But for the most part unless the name states to me something that I know I am not going to like I go and read the description for it first.

[nicktheduderino]

ive kind of been torn about negative reviews, but you're right, if something sucks super hard i guess it is my jurisdiction to let the people know.

Thanks for the feedback!
