Brush up on your strategy with the new Greed Corp game 0

Strategy game fans will surely want to get the newest strategy game offering from Xbox Live Arcade.

W! Games has announced the release of its turn based strategy game, Greed Corp. This new and innovative strategy game will make its appearance on the Xbox Live Arcade in the next couple of months. Greed Corp is the first game in a new series that is based on the Mistbound universe. The setting of the game is in a world of feudal warfare and environmental consumption that was brought about by industrial greed. Players will compete through a new land collapsing mechanic that will constantly change the landscape and, thus, the strategies used to defeat enemies.

Greed Corp’s innovations and amazing promise as a game was actually recognized with a nomination for the European Innovative Games Award 2009. This is an initiative that seeks to encourage and reward developers who pursue new innovations in video games. This initiative is actually supported by the European Commission.

Test your “clever”-ness with Encleverment Experiment 0

I love playing games that claim to make you smarter. It makes spending hours playing games seem like a self-improvement task, where you end up becoming a better person after all the button mashing. Blitz Arcade probably had the same thought that’s why it is launching the Xbox Live Arcade game Encleverment Experiment.

Encleverment Experiment is a new game that its developer is claiming to really challenge your brain cells. The game will reportedly carry challenges that will test your memory, reflexes, and even your dexterity. Garnering fast response times and accuracy will be rewarded with in-game currency called Noodles. The goal of the game is to amass the most Noodles, but of course, beating your friends is really the best part of the game.

Encleverment Experiment will have two game styles — the Take-a-Test mode, which is for single players and Game Show Mode, which is the multiplayer mode where 1 to 4 players can compete.

Xbox Live to release first not-for-profit game 0

Usually, when we talk about games, the usual topics that are discussed revolve around new releases, how awesome or bad a game is, or how much a game developer has earned from a hit game. Topics about charity is as alien as talking about talking about games that teach moral values (those will definitely be boring games). But OneBigGame is about to change this.

OneBigGame, a non-profit game publisher that was formed in 2007, recently introduced a game that will be published under the OneBigGame label. Chime is a pro bono creation by Zoe Mode, who is a music game specialist. The game is a unique block puzzle that has an accompanying music creation element and also contributions from other famous musicians. The innovative game will come out this winter on Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade.

Chime puts a great spin on both the music and block puzzle game with the player being asked to cover different grids with different shapes that have a connection to a sound effect from other music tracks. The objective is to form rectangular bricks that are called quads.

The great thing about Chime is that the profits OneBigGame will get will be funneled to a number of children’s charities it is supporting. I like the idea of buying a game that will help other people. It eases the guilt of throwing money at a hobby not many people can afford. And it also feels good knowing that even while you’re sitting like a blob in front of your TV, you’re actually making a difference in the world.
