Submit Your Game to Microsoft
Finally a chance for the gamers who have developed small games to get an opportunity to have them shared with millions of people. For any of you with a dream about creating and distributing your own game, the time is now.
Microsoft is allowing games created using XNA Game Studio 2.0 to be distributed via the XBox Live Marketplace.
Your game must go through a peer review process. Community game developers will be able to beta test the process this spring and be able to distribute their games on XBox Live by the end of this year.
Available immediately for download are these 7 games:
1. “JellyCar.” Created by Walaber from the United States, this game is about driving a squishy car through squishy worlds, trying to reach the exit.
2. “Little Gamers.” This is a 2-D high definition action side-scroller based on the famous Web comic “Little Gamers” created by Loic Dansart,a 24-year-old software developer from Belgium.
3. “The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai.” An intense 2-D action platform game created by James Silva from the United States, “The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai” has a unique, highly stylized look and fast and fluid action.
4. “TriLinea.” This puzzle game created by Edison S. Prata Jr., Renato Pelizzari da Silva and Davi da Silva Prata from Brazil mixes fast-paced action with strategy.
5. “RocketBall.” Created by Tyler Wanlass, Patrick Murty and Todd Barrons of the United States, this neighborhood game of dodgeball explodes onto the street with fast-paced multiplayer action.
6. “ProximityHD.” This game, created by Brian Cable from the United States, takes the essence of strategy games — battles for control of territory and armies — and distills it down to a simple, easy-to-understand set of rules for casual players.
