XNA Games - GDC08

Microsoft announced yesterday that they’re making all XNA-developed games available for testing by anyone on Xbox Live. XNA shows a staggering amount of potential, so much so that many of the small demos shown at GDC of the XNA games look so much better than most of the junk currently released on XBLA. Upcoming games like Braid and Castle Crashers are proving that downloadable games can stretch the boundaries of creativity so much farther than big-budget studio titles.

Here are some samples of games demoed at GDC:

The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai - side-scrolling hack n’ slash goodness —

Jelly Car - strategically expand the vehicle to navigate across puzzle stages —

Culture - 3D gardening in which your objective is to eliminate the weeds —

Proximity - neat looking puzzle game —
