One of the new features the NXE that hasn't been lauded as much is teh launching of the XNA community channel. The first two titles to havew full releases via the new XNA community program were "Word soup" and "weapon of choice". I trialed word soup and it's really just boggle with falling tiles fun and all if your a word puzzle freak and for 400 points probably a worthy buy. HOWEVER weapon of choice is a wholly awesome experience. Imagine metal slug with the weapon versatility of ratchet and clank and you have the basic idea. The game features 7 levels 4 endings and 7 unique players. and by unique plays I mean each charectar has their own unique super weapon that is extremely versatile.
For instance the fist character's weapon is quite simply a big ass jet engine and the standard firing mode doesn't ahve a lot fo range but it takes less shots to kill enemies. However if you hold teh manipulation button(right trigger) you can double the range but takes more hits on the enemy to kill them. If itw as just that it's be something but through i unique double jump abilities and numerous tricks to learn with each weapon and you have a rock solid old school action game for only 400 MSPs. Plus the graphics and sound are nothing to spit at . It's honest to FSM a really fun action game.

That actually looks kinda fun. Very old-school Contra-ish, which isn't a bad thing.

yeah pretty much only imagine a bit easier(not in difficulty but many of yoru abilities help you stay alive) and every weapon is as awesome as the spread gun.
