Downtown Smash Dodgeball is as the title suggests a dodgeball game. I do not really know the rules of dodgeball so it took a bit of time to understand but it is straightforward enough to learn. The graphics are sound are good and it supports up to two players. The game is Japanese but has English text so you should have no problems. At 800 :MSPoints: it is in the high end of prices, you can download the trial here.
LOLCats is a picture display application which shows pictures of cats doing funny things and are all from http://icanhascheezburger.com/. Save yourself the 80 :MSPoints: and visit the site. If you must, you can download the trial here.
Nasty is a retro style platform shooter. The aim of the game is to clear the screen of enemies and escape to the exit. The graphics and sound are done well and presentation is funny (don’t skip the intro). The game certainly is not nasty and with over 100 levels and up to four players this should be worth the 400 :MSPoints:, you can download the trial here.

Octagon is a shooter where you must destroy coloured enemies with the same bullet colour, someone really needs to make up a name for this type of shooter! Graphics, music and presentation are all slickly done. I found the controls a little awkward to shoot enemies as they tend to follow you and you only shoot forwards so have to turn around and try to get a shot in, you can however charge up a shot which bounces around the screen which is easier to kill enemies. At 240 :MSPoints: this is one to check out, you can download the trial here.
Storage Inc. is a puzzle game in which you control a fork lift truck and must deliver boxes to the required location. I did not quite get it at first but stick with the game as it makes sense after a while, the time in between delivering is meant to organise new boxes that arrive. Graphics are well drawn and the controls handle well which is vital for this game. The full game costs 400 :MSPoints: and the trial can be downloaded here.
Streets of Fury is an oldskool style scrolling beat em up similar to Streets of Rage. The characters have been motion captured and placed into the game which is a nice touch and looks good. The gameplay can get a little hectic at times due to the way you change between the three layers on the ground, instead of moving up and down like traditional beat em ups you have to hold Right Shoulder and Up/Down to switch. Graphics and music are very nice and with support for four players in co-op this should be good fun. The full game costs 240 :MSPoints: and the trial can be downloaded here.
A good bunch of releases in this round up, all with the exception of LOLCats are well worth checking out!
