Foxtail

Day one for me. I loved Mirror's Edge and am craving a sequel, but this little spinoff game seems like a nice addition. Bring it on.

First thing's first, I'd get on Blast Off. Widely considered the best mini there is and just came out.

Most of the games shown in the trailer are from Halfbrick, which has its own range of casual games: http://www.halfbrick.com/home/101-halfbrick-on-board-with-psp-minis-development-august-19th-2009

I found a second trailer too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LDXVPtwdhk

Pretty happy this will be working on older PSPs also, seems like a nice transition from UMD based hardware.

hell ya. i always wanted on my iphone

Face? What are you people going on about?

As for the game itself, it looks rad. Top-down racing kicks ass, and those colorful trail things are sexyness. Me wants for 200 points!!!!

Huh? Since when do people still like TMNT? Remember, all the new games suck, the movies suck, and nothing good has come out of Ninja Turtles for over a decade? Yet we sitll get all hyped about it?

I'm more interested in Spolsion Man and Raskulls (which isn't part of the SOA, but probly released soon), which are actual original games and look like heaps of fun.

You aren't hearing what everyone is saying. It's not that easy to just "promote" your game and suddenly sales appear. Have you not been reading the news that sales have been low for everyone, where some people have sold elss than a hundred copies? This isn't a one-off thing. This is universal.

Now, the "most Popular" listing features Rumble Massage, Remote Masseuse, Rocket Fart, DrumKit and Aquarium HD. Do you really think that those games are in the top ten because they have had the most promotion? Not a chance.

How about Weapon of Choice, CarneyVale Showtime, Halfbrick Blast Off or Miner Dig Deep? They have had more mainstream expsosure than anyone and are universally regarded as the best games on XBLCG, yet are nowhere to be found in the Most Popular section. And even the games in the Most Popular section aren't selling very well. XBLCG needs more exposure and the perception that all XBLCG are crap needs to change. You'll find on almost any forum about XBLCG you'll have several people blindly saying that they would never buy anything from CG because all the games are crappy.

The service needs more promotion as a whole, and from what I've read on the XNA forums, selling your game isn't as easy as posting some screenshots on a few forums, as you suggested.

Hey, they wouldn't be releasing games at 1200 Points if everyone didn't make Braid and Castle Crashers, the poster-boys for 1200 Points, the highest selling games on the service. Don't buy expensive games then complain when others want in on the goldmine too.
