It is good to see a nice selection of XBLA releases from the usual one or two per week. And with Block/House Party starting soon it should be an interesting run of releases coming up.
FRET NICE™ is a 2D platformer that’ll rock your world. Control your character through funky-fresh stages to explore hidden areas, collect items, and clash note-for-note with outrageous, heavy metal bosses! Rock out by blasting enemies with riff combos and creating your own sounds with each “strum” of a chord! Fret Nice costs 1200 
and you can find the demo and full versions on the Marketplace.
Why share when you can have it all? Greed Corp is an online multiplayer strategy game in which you battle for dominance over a world once rich in resources. In order to prevail, you must exhaust all remaining resources to build an army, and use the depleted collapsing terrain to your advantage. An extensive campaign mode and multiple unlockables prepare you to take the battle online. Greed Corp costs 800 and you can find the demo and full versions on the Marketplace.
Lazy Raiders is the last of this weeks releases. Dr. Diggabone’s getting too old for archaeological digs, or so he says. But truth be told, he’s just plain lazy… Unlock the Full Game and send the Doctor or your Xbox LIVE Avatar on a gravity-defying quest through 75 mazes by spinning and flipping the world. Beware those thieves, minions and traps, though. Without any challenge, you’d just grow lazy… and we wouldn’t want that, now would we? Lazy Raiders costs 800 and you can find the demo and full versions on the Marketplace.

It’s Lazy Raiders, not Lazy Race, hehe! You got it in the heading, but your fingers must have went on autopilot for the text and picture – happens to me all the time, heh!
I tried it today and it’s on my avoid list, for requiring you to be able to differentiate between colours :p I like the use of Avatar in it, though
Greed Corp looked like it could be good, but the music really did my head in! I don’t like jazz, lol! Had to mute it pretty quickly
Not tried Fret Nice as I no longer have a guitar for the 360, just the PS3.
Thanks for pointing out the mistake, all fixed now apart from the image file name, I am too lazy to delete and upload again.
You are not missing much with Fret Nice, it is a pain in the arse to play. You have to tilt (like activating star power) the guitar to jump and it just looks like you are having a fit. That and I have no idea what you are supposed to do
Also wanted to mention about the colour blindness, been following your posts and it has really highlighted the issue for me. If I make any more games in the future it will be in my mind when designing them as I am sure I have been guilty of it in the past looking back. Hopefully the large companies take note as it can make the difference between a playable and unplayable game.
That’s great news about the colourblind issues – the Indie developers have been really great about it:
Dadoogames are looking into an option for their Curling game;
Sorcery Games have been doing all sorts to help colourblind gamers on their game due out shortly;
Mstargames incorporated a colourblind option to Space Pirates.
It’s just a shame the big companies behind Modern Warfare 2; Bioshock 2; Mass Effect 2, etc. are doing nothing / very little to help
It’s easier to play with the controller however, that kind of defeats the purpose of the game IMO…As for the object of the game, seems to be to get to the end of the level just like in most retro platformers, at least from the one level showcased.
