GDC08: Download deadline extended for XNA trials

TriLinea consistently crashes my 360 whenever I try to play it. All the other games work fine, but this specific one just hangs at a black screen indefinitely when I launch it. I've tried redownloading it several times... has anyone else had this problem?

I downloaded the viewer or the player or whatever it was you needed to play these games, then when I try to dl the games it brings me to the screen to DL that thing again but its already checked that I have it.

I just want to dl a game, please help!

(im crying)

I've had a couple seem to hang, but if I give them a minute or so they always to boot up. I've played TriLinea a couple of times, but it desperately needs instructions.

TriLinea seems pretty poopy.

Proximity was a fun strategy game, but lacked personality.

Jelly Car rapes lives (I've seriously put the most time into that game, despite the limited scope, i.e. one tiny level).

Dishwasher also rapes lives, but I wish it was more of a platformer. Eh, eh.

And that cartoony game with weapons didn't really do anything for me.

The one i'm most addicted to is ProximinityHD. Sure there is no personality, but I'm still having a lot of fun with it.

The only one i didn't like (with the exception of trilinea since i didn't play that much) is rocketball. Too simplistic when compared to the other releases.

Damn RRoD ;_;

Everything they can do to allow more people to play Dishwasher, they should.

Hell, they should just release it right now. There hasn't been this much positive press on an original XBLA game since...ever?

@ Digital Limit
Jelly Car has like 5 levels...at the screen you pick your level at press up and down and it will change levels. Also not geared at Digital but the easiest way to download the XNA games is from the XNA Creators Club option that unlocks in "My Games" once you dl the file. From that option just press "Y" to Download Games.

Dishwasher is awesome! =)

Little Gamers is something that would piss off Mr.Thompson but is fun nonetheless...

I haven't tried the others yet.

Don't waste your time on RocketBall and Trilinea

I Found Proximity quite fun against a friend.

where do i download these

if you go on 'inside Xbox' there's a video guide with major nelson on how to download the xna games and launcher

All these games are useless. Theres a plethora of free pc games I woudl rather play over these. That said, the best developed game is the dishwasher. Its not entertaining however since it focuses on blood and repeat combos. I guess if you like beat em ups you will like it but personally I was bored after 2 minutes. Deffenitly the most put together and "ready" game. Jellycars is the worst of them all. Its hardly built (cant even go to the main menu from within a game or restart or anything). It seems ok but the graphic sytle is annoying and it feels so cheap.

Proximity HD is a rip off of another game already except now with numbers added. rocketball is the lamest dodgeball game ever with only 2 positions and throw/block. Theres no free vertical movement, bah.

The culture game seemed like an interestign theory but all 3 games had extreme FPS lag. cant handle that many flowers onscreen at once. That tetris puzzle type game seemed ok, but was not fun. Little people was fun for a short while, but needed to utalize the second stick so you can aim and shoot at the same time. The story and concept feels like it was written by 10 year olds tho.

Overall XNA looks like it will be a great edition. Unfortunetly, these 7 games they chose to showcase (supposedly the best ones) just arnt worth playing, even for free. I fear these games represent what XNA will be about, 1000 crappy games to 1 good game worth your time. Like newgrounds :p
