A Dreamland Chronicles Game is a part comic viewer and part trivia quiz based on the comic. I will be honest and say comics do not interest me one bit but to be fair I read a few pages and tried the quiz. The comic seems fine, the drawings are computer generated and the story seems interesting. The quiz itself has different difficulties, I tried the Easy and got 7/10 mostly with educated guesses. If you know of the Dreamland Chronicles series or like reading comics you may want to check this game out. A Dreamland Chronicles Game costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.
Adventures Of Sid is a follow up to the XMAS Special last month. It is a platform game with you playing as Sid the Tomato who goes treasure hunting over 16 levels. It is mainly a platform game but there is a little puzzle solving with switches and blowing up walls etc. I really enjoyed this game and it seems a few tweaks to improve the jumping has been made since the XMAS version. Well worth checking out! Adventures Of Sid costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.
Avatar Alarm Clock is an alarm clock application for your 360. Feel comforted as you watch your Avatar sleep alongside you is the end line from the authors description of the game, I would feel more comforted knowing he will pay the electric bill for leaving a TV and 360 switched on all night just so I can wake up in the morning. Buy a proper alarm clock or use the alarm on your phone or something and avoid this crap. Avatar Alarm Clock costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here.
Cell Life is a simulation based on Conway’s Game of Life. You can choose what cells to start your creation with and watch it evolve. A few different modes are available but this is still a title that few people will be interested in after the trial. Give it a try and see if you like it. Cell Life costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here.

Four Player Tangerine Fight is a two to four player deathmatch game based on the Herman game released a few weeks back. Unfortunately I was unable to play this game as it was just me here and there is no CPU AI to play against. You should check this out as Herman was a interesting game and Four Player Tangerine Fight looks to share the same humour. Four Player Tangerine Fight costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here.
Lethal Judgment is a horizontal scrolling shooter set across five stages. This is a port of a PC game with updated HD graphics and they look pretty good, action is fast paced and there is always plenty to shoot. This looks to be a very good shooter and is well worth checking out! Lethal Judgment costs 400 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.
Soul puts you in control of the soul of a dead man and lead it to heaven in this maze like game. You must get from one end of the screen to the exit to progress, touching the walls or monsters will return the soul back to the start of the screen. The graphical style and animation is very well done with some surprises along the way. A quite interesting game and well worth checking out! Soul costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.
SPINNR is a game for up to four players in which you must score as many points as possible by matching three or more colours. This is a match three game with a twist as its mostly a multiplayer game against each other, single player was a little boring. If you have a few friends handy to play against this could be fun, worth checking out if you have. SPINNR costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here.

Titamus Attack is a first person shooter, you are in Spaceship Hydrae B and must survive each of the ships chambers by killing all the enemies to proceed to the next. The chambers have differing obstacles like lasers and monsters but the gameplay was really boring as it seemed safer to stay in a corner and shoot rather than walk around into no warning spawning enemies. The game is a good idea but not very well done. Titamus Attack costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.
Warhounds is a vertical scrolling shooter where you must stop the opposing government’s hostile takeover, I dunno either… I did not like this game, the enemies move from side quickly and is tricky to get a shot on them, that is if you can manage to shoot them as they fire a constant barrage of bullets. You may have better luck than me but I had enough after a few minutes. Warhounds costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here.
Titles that have received a software update or price change are Tobe’s Vertical Adventure, Awesome Tank, Battle-X, Carcophony, Creed Arena, Crosstown and You Will Die.
