UnRevolutionary looks like a simple two stick shooter at first glance, but it’s actually a surprisingly deep game. You start off with a simple ship that fires one bullet at a time. As you make your way through the various…

There are a number of trivia games in the Community games section of the XBLM, but none so entertaining as What The?!. The questions range from easy to very hard, and cover a broad range of categories. The game itself is a mock game show that could very easily come straight out of the ’70s, and each contestant is competing to win exciting prizes like refrigerators, mobile phones, and the moon. Each question is read aloud by the two snarky hosts, and four answers are presented. There are three game modes: timed, normal, and fastest answer. In timed mode, everyone has a set amount of time to answer each question. In normal mode, there is no time limit. In the “fastest answer” mode, the first person to answer a question correctly wins more money than each person that answers after them.

The Community Game of the Week, Trino, is something a bit different. In this game, you have to capture your enemies, the Nanites, in your triangle trap. By plotting three seperate points on the screen, you create a triangle trap. Any enemies caught in that trap will be destroyed. Once you’ve cleared enough enemies, you have to clear the level by plotting a point at each corner of the level. All remaining enemies on the screen will be destroyed, and you get to move on to the next challenge. With 40 levels of varying size and shape, as well as 10 different enemy types, the gameplay stays fresh and engaging all the way through to the end.

Fans of Smash TV will almost certainly love the Community Game of the Week, Karnn Age. The fast paced, two stick gameplay is both challenging and enjoyable. You find yourself in an arena with swarms of enemies coming at you from all directions, and, to make matters worse, if you step off of the grass onto the sand, you run the risk of angering the sun. The enemies are diverse and challenging, and the danger of spending too much time on the sand adds an interesting new element to the gameplay.

It’s no secret to anyone who frequents this site that I’m a fan of Fallout 3. Unfortunately, it did ship with one major flaw - once you finished the main quest, the game was completely over. There’s no going back and finishing your side quests, or just playing around in the Capital Wastelands, it’s just over. Until now, that is.

The Community Game of the Week, Pocoro, is easy to learn, and tough to master. The object of the game is to pass your cursor over each tile on the screen as many times as the number on the tile indicates. If you pass over the same tile too many times, you’ll be penalized. Do it too many times, and you’ll lose the level. As the levels become larger and more complicated the strategies for completing them become less obvious.
