XBLIG Update: The ‘makes your stamen go berserk’ Edition

Update time again already! We got six new games for you today. About that title; I’m really sorry I had to go and drop some Grease 2 on you. It was wrong, I knew it was wrong, and I did it anyways. In other news, we also made the bible trivial this week, that’s kind of exciting. Then again perhaps I am just getting all hot and bothered by the semantics of it all. The descriptions of the following games are that of the developers themselves, my grumpy comments will be in bold.

Bible Trivia

Test your knowledge of the Bible with hundreds of trivia questions from the Old Testament and the New Testament. Easy and hard levels to choose from. Bonus mini-games are awarded after every round of 25 questions. Great for Bible study or family entertainment.

Developer: DualOpAmp29

Price: 240 Microsoft Points

Trivia (singular: trivium) are unimportant (or “trivial”) items, especially of information. It kind of makes me wonder if they knew everything they asked about within their game of trivia was in essence calling them trivial. Hmmm. Really I just wish I had a great Agnosticat picture to put here.

Bizzy Bee

Bizzy Bee is a one or two player co-op game where you and a friend race to collect pollen from fields of flowers in the shortest amount of time.

Developer: Allegro Interactive

Price: 80 Microsoft Points

How fast can you circle the flower without touching the middle? Pretty damn fast until I fall asleep 4 radians into it.

Ace Gals Tennis

The new Ace Gals tennis championship is starting right now! There are 8 different players, each one with her own attitude and skills. Select your favorite one as your Avatar’s trainer and win the others throughout 36 tournaments. Will you win the championship?

Developer: Haruneko

Price: 80 Microsoft Points

It’s avatar tennis with some fit women depicted in the title screen and during character selection. Maybe this is just being overly critical, but whats the deal with the name? “Ace Gals” I’m pretty sure the only people I’ve ever heard use the term ‘gals” are members of the geriatric mafia. Also it uses the same music as Avatar Quiz Call, which I found to get old quickly.

Easy Racing

A full world as a track. Run freely where you want and search your favorite path. Comptete against 60 cars of 6 differents type. And when you think you’ve seen all, try the chaotic Rally!

Developer: laurent goethals

Price: 400 Microsoft Points

Pretty cool game, but 400 Microsoft Points is going to be a very hard sale on the XBLIG for this game. It’s a little top down racing game that uses what I guess you could best describe as tank controls.

Inferno Ball

Action packed ping pong style gameplay with a combustible twist. Inferno Ball puts your reflexes and skill to the test. Play any of 4 difficulties from Easy to Insane. Play against the computer or a friend either locally or over xbox live.

Developer: Lucid Vision Games

Price: 80 Microsoft Points

Inferno Ball is Pong with bullets. It’s an okay combination but it is certainly not like getting chocolate in your peanut butter. However, it seems priced right and has a decent production quality to it.

Onslaught

Prepare yourself for an almighty Onslaught. Take on hordes of avatars in full HD as you compete against the best in the world. Onslaught features character leveling, global scoreboards and Avatars. Prepare to wet yourself.

Developer: SniperED007

Price: 80 Microsoft Points

Not bad, it’s kind of like dodge ball with water baloons. It also has a bit of a character progression thing going on, that you can upgrade various “stats” with.
