Xona Games, creators of the fantastic looking Duality ZF, are releasing another game whilst work to possibly get Duality ZF released on XBLA continues. The game is called Decimation X and seems to be a cross between Space Invaders and a bullet hell shooter. As always from Xona Games, this looks fantastic.

Decimation X should be available later this week for 80 points.

Xona Games has released this new Duality ZF video showing off the Boss Rush mode with three players.

Duality ZF should be released sometime in 2010. You can find out more info at Xona Games’ official site.

The amazing looking Duality ZF (which ranked 7th in this year’s Dream Build Play) has had some TV coverage in Canada.

Congratulations to Xona Games and make sure you check the full game out when it releases sometime this fall.

The XNA Team has announced the winners of this year’s Dream Build PLay competition.

Dean Dodrill of the United States earned the grand prize of $40,000 for “Dust: An Elysian Tail” a side-scrolling, action role-playing game in which the player controls Dust, a man searching for himself. Set in the beautiful yet mysterious world of Falana, this game chronicles Dust’s journey to liberate an oppressed village and rediscover his past. Meticulously hand-animated and painted, “Dust: An Elysian Tail” welcomes exploration, action, and above all else, mastery of a fighting system that rewards skilled gamers.

Panya Inversin and his team from the United States took home second place and $20,000 for their stunning 3-D, four-player brawler/space-shooter, “Max Blastronaut”.

Nivel21 Entertainment, led by Mauricio Garcia from Spain, received third place and $10,000 for the challenging puzzle game “Rotor’scope – The Secret of the Endless Energy”.

China’s Hu Ling and his team came in fourth place and received $5,000 for the stylish martial arts action game “HurricaneX2 Evolution”.
