Community Games that are actually fun
dregs | 6:31 PM on 04.29.2009 5 comments


first blog post, ight. Go easy.

You may Community Games as those games that don't have achievements on the 360 or that section of the Dashboard I might as well not go to.
WELL SHAME ON YOU!
Lots (and by lots I mean some) of the games are great quality games that need your support. Now I'm not saying everyone should go out and buy a fake fireplace for 200 points I'm going to tell you some enjoyable titles that are worth your money (or at least time for a demo.

Artoon

Price: 400 Points
Artoon is kinda like a 3D Q'bert. You basically go around hoping on stuff, changing their color, until you're finished the level. Where I think the game gets cool is the fact that level have their own unique art style. Some levels mess up your tv if you look into the wrong side and some you have to paint blocks in a certain order or you will die. The jumping does feel kinda floaty but it is still tight (if that makes any sense). The multiplayer was fun the few times I could convince my friends to play it with me instead of halo or a different community game (which I will talk about later) and could be some fun to play with someone who doesn't play games much. Their is also a grading system for each level and "achievements that don't give you gamerscore" if that's your kinda thing.

Groov

Price: 200 Points
Think Geometry wars meets Rez. You got Groov. Its a dual stick shooter in which each enemy is a instrument or section of the song, and as you shoot them you make the music. Once you shoot an enemy the become white, then they do no damage to you, then in time with the music they explode. At first it took me a while to get used to the idea that once I shoot one of these enemies they aren't going to just disappear but once I got passed it I was having a blast. The game also has other modes including a free style mode. Not bad for around 2 bucks if I do say so myself :3


Colosseum

Price: 800 Points
I'll be honest, I haven't bought this game yet. 10 bucks is a lot for a community game when you can get Bionic Commando: Rearmed with the same amount of points (which is what I ended up getting instead of Colosseum) but from the demo you can kinda tell that it will be one of the better, more quality community games. The controls are great, the graphics are better then some Live Arcade games, and it just feels like it could have been a Live Arcade game. I'm sure someone here has bought it and know it is awesome, it's just I haven't shelled out the points yet to buy this game. Still check it out.

Zombie Smashers x4 Guitarapoclypse

Price: 200 Points
I like to think of this as the generic video game from a kids cartoon."Oh no! Frankenstein is gonna get me! Oh man Giant Cat just got Jimmy! GUITAR SOLO!!!" This game is just a smash bros clone. It isn't anything artistic or daring, but it is fun. I gotta say, I spent tons of time playing this with my friends. Words can't really describe how fun it actually is to beat each other with a guitar while Frankenstein rapes your other friend. It's mindless, clunky, weird, and a blast. If you wanna have a good time... give this a try.

Go easy on your first post? You didn't even have to mention that: this is quality! Most people just make some shitty paragraph intro that could have gone on the forums. You used the blog what it's for: for blogging. My first post was a video-game related inquiry too, so cheers.

As for community games, I liked Artoon, and now want to give Zombie Mashers a chance. Didn't everyone adore Carnival Games too? Welcome to Dtoid!

Welcome to Dtoid, and great first post. This has potential to be a regular feature if you care enough to keep up with it.

I have not played a single community game aside from Entrager's Remote Masseuse game. They really don't look all that appealing when you compare them to all of the quality XBLA titles already out there, all competing for my money.
