In case you hadn't checked the Community Games channel lately, it has completely blown up since the New Xbox Experience debuted last week.
A handful of the titles showing up are exceptional, like Artoon, but a good percentage of the games are utter crap -- actually, that might be giving too much credit. But like I've stressed in the past, the few good games available make up for all the bad.
That's why it's so important everyone gets a fair shot at sharing their creation through the service. Microsoft seems to agree with this viewpoint, as its announced that starting on December 15, designers from Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand will be able to do just that.
This announcement may or may not have to do with the fact that Gambit, the team who won 2008's Dream-Build-Play competition with CarneyVale: Showtime, hail from Singapore. Way to show 'em how it's done, guys!
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
