    I downloaded the launcher and games today and actually had a lot of fun playing simple games that only had simple concepts but were fun nonetheless.

    My favorite so far would have to be Jelly Car but i've only played Rocketball and Jelly Car so I wouldn't know about the other ones.

    Discuss.

    I thought jellycar was fun for 10-15 minutes, but rocket ball was frustrating and confusing...

    Yes, the Dishwasher is amazing. I'm buying it when it comes out. Jellycar was kinda fun, I liked the noises and the look. The rest were all very forgettable.

    Jellycar was definitely my favorite of them all.


    So I guess there is a program you can get to make the games, but it costs a lot, doesn't it?

    No, it's free. You just need a good computer. Do a google search for it or something, or just watch those instructional videos they put on xboxlive.

    Oh, sweet.

    I might just try it then, just to see if I can make anything remotely fun.

    Proximity was fun, yet frustrating to say the least.

    The dishwasher had this grungy depressing theme to it, that made me want to kill myself. D: Nonetheless, fun.

    Jelly Car> Dishwasher> Proximity

    It's free to make games for PC, but if you want to make 360 games it costs $100 a year (still WAY cheaper than a dev kit...). Search Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express and it pops right up

    Ah, I see. I guess that is the price that I read about.

    I still might try the PC one.

    I downloaded and played around with the XNA creator and it's actually not to hard if you know any object oriented programming language, such as C++. I haven't been able to make another too amazing but my goal is to recreate chu chu rocket for the 360, oh how i miss that game...
