Remember Chris Satchell 's announcement over at Game Developers Conference regarding Microsoft's upcoming Community Games service for the Xbox Live? Well, seven games have just been uploaded to the new service.

Needless to say, these are now available for your downloading pleasure the next time you go online. These were created using XNA Game Studio 2.0, and have already undergone the service's peer-review process to ensure they meet proper community standards.

We've placed a short description for each title, along with some screenshots to give you an idea of what's just waiting to be shared with the Live community:

Best one. By FAR. It has very fluid gameplay, crisp, beautiful graphics, plenty of combos, excellent finishing moves, and best of all, it's really *****ing fun. I can't wait to get my hands on a full version of this game.



Enough good cannot be said about this game. Go get it, now!

Only one I don't care for much is the dodgeball game. The rest are day-one purchases for me, especially Culture. The paint mode is a great time-killer
