It's called an "extended screenshot" instead of a trailer because it doesn't actually feature any gameplay...or much of anything really. Instead of blatant advertising or in-depth sneak peeks, we're getting an extended view of the 3D environs in which we'll be platforming to our hearts' content. And boy does it look nice. It starts out looking like nothing special (albeit very retro in a cool way), but when things start moving and the day/night cycle kicks in you get a better idea of what's going on here.

The myriad homebrew/indie games that have made their way to the XBLA have been hit and miss, just like the retail market. If you have the time and money, you can find some real gems designed by guys in their garages, man caves, dens - whatever you want to call them. These are true fans with a love of games that transcends the retail market. You do yourself a disservice to not check out what's out there. Fez is but one example and it's not out 'til...well, who knows when. So there's plenty to play in the meantime!
