Nine new games released over the last six days.

Note: These impressions are based off 8 minutes of gameplay and are not an accurate assessment of the full product.

Avatar Drop – 80 points – Family – Download

Drop your Xbox LIVE Avatar through various obstacles. Pretty fun and not bad for the price.

魔法の国のメロディファニーダンシング – 240 points – Music – Download

Watch various anime gurls dancing. The game is in Japanese so I couldn’t tell if there was any actual gameplay.

Flash Cards for Kids – 240 points – Educational – Download

Now kids don’t even have to make there own flashcards! Not much in the trial and it costs 160 points too much.

Stereo3D Gallery – 80 points – Other – Download

Various 3D images that require you to wear those horrible red and blue glasses. I don’t have a pair so I couldn’t tell the quality of the effect.

Color Break – 80 points – Classics – Download

Pong-like game. You must keep the balls bouncing against the wall but you will only hit the balls if your paddle matches it’s colour. Not bad but a bit simple.

Kuchibi – 240 points – Puzzle & Trivia – Download

Excellent Pipe Mania-like puzzle game. Very polished and great fun. Full review soon.

PebbleDash Lite – 80 points – Action & Adventure – Download

Pebble Dash with less levels!

I Heart Shift – 80 points – Other – Download

Interesting puzzle game that is nearly impossible to explain. It could be quite fun but lacks polish.

Duologue – 240 points – Shooter – Download

Dual Stick shooter with some good art and fun gameplay. Full review soon.

Coming Soon: Duologue

This dual stick shooter is currently in peer review so should be hitting XBLIGs soon. I really like the artstyle and it seems to set itself apart from the multitide of Geometry Wars-like games.

Enjoy the teaser trailer and some screenshots and expect a full review soon:
