Wik Fable of Souls (XBLA): The control scheme in this is very creative and it makes for some fun gameplay. It’s quirky and odd and very fun!

The Maw (XBLA): A fun combination of a puzzle and action game with funny characters. Fantastic storytelling with expressive characters, a colorful world, and very few words. It made me laugh out loud a few times.

Defense Grid (XBLA, PC): A surprisingly challenging, deep, rewarding tower defense game. It’s got big explosions, nasty monsters, and creative levels. It might be the funnest I’ve played on any platform.

Age of Booty (XBLA): A great real time strategy game with very simple controls and mechanics that provide surprising depth of strategy and fun! This is a game I wish we made!

Puzzle Quest (XBLA, DS, PC): A great example of a casual game-play style with a theme and certain elements that appeal to a hard-core audience as well. Set in medieval times, battling monsters, collecting equipment, learning abilities, etc. Yet, gameplay is made up of a SUPER simple puzzle game mechanic – match 3 gems of the same color.

Every Extend Extra Extreme (XBLA): I thought this game was REALLY creative and new in its design. I also found it to be super fun, but I know a lot of people that disagree with me. I love how they worked music into gameplay.
