Star Ninja – 80 :MSPoints: – Marketplace – Trailer
[singlepic id=7115 w=320 h=240 float=center]
Star Ninja is a physics based game, you play as a ninja who must shoot his limited number of ninja stars at the pirates to defeat them all and complete the puzzle. The game is put together well with nice graphics and sound effects, reminding me of games such as Angry Birds in style. Fans of this genre will enjoy the game a lot and at only 80 :MSPoints: it is a must buy.
Plague – 80 :MSPoints: – Marketplace – Trailer
[singlepic id=7113 w=320 h=240 float=center]
Plague is a side scrolling action platform game. A devastating computer virus has brought the world to its knees and you play as the last remaining anti-virus fighting your way through the levels. There are plenty of enemies and just as many weapons to pick up and use against them. All in all, it is a decent platform game and good fun to play. Another bargain at 80 :MSPoints:!
