Four new games released over the last 24 hours.

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

Sol Survivor – 800 points – Strategy & Simulation – Download

Fantastic 3D tower defence game, really shows what is possible with XNA. I just wish it hadn’t come out the week after Defence Grid.

Fire – 80 points – Other – Download

Yet another rubbish screensaver app. You can’t even view it in the trial.

Dead Meat – 80 points – Shooter – Download

With so many shooters on XBLIGs this does little to set itself apart.

Azubi’s Pool Of Bethesda – 240 points – Puzzle & Trivia – Download

Some nice character models but the game itself is incredibly dull.

The XNA team recently announced the finalists for this year’s Dream Build Play contest.

They are:

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Hurricane 2X Evolution

Kaleidoscope – Developer Interview

Max Blastronaut

Rotorscope: The Secret of the Endless Energy

Sol Survivor – More Info

I’ll be covering a ton of Dream Build Play 2009 entries over the next few days, if I haven’t yet featured your entry and you’d like me to, please contact me.

Sol Survivor – Tower Defence

This is one of the best examples of 3D on XNA so far. It also looks like a great game. The creator says it should be out in the next few weeks!
