Aesop’s Garden is a puzzle game that involves activating a sprinkler system to make the gardens flowers grow, once done you must remove all the weeds to progress to the next garden. To hinder your progress are obstacles such as blocks that must be strategically moved and water to bypass. Graphics are in a 8bit style and look fine, the music is a bit repetitive though. The game is fun to play and if you like puzzle games like Sokoban you should like this. Aesop’s Garden costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.
Crisis Nuclear Holocaust is a interactive story game. An Artificial Intelligence has gone too far and will destroy most of the human population within the hour if you cannot persuade the AI to change her mind. You do this by replying to her questions and opinions, if you ask incorrectly a mini game where you must match the buttons will start which you must complete to stop the hour timer counting down. While there is nothing much to the game, if you like interactive novels you may like this, personally I found it a little boring. Crisis Nuclear Holocaust costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here.
Inside Lacrosse’s CL2010 is a Lacrosse game which supports both local and Xbox Live play for up to four players. I have to be honest I have no idea how you play Lacrosse so the game did not interest me much but the presentation, graphics and voice overs are all very well done. Worth checking out if you play Lacrosse or are interested in a sports game you can play online with others. Inside Lacrosse’s CL2010 costs 400 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.

Jumper Robot is a platform game in which you play as a robot who must save the robotic world. The graphics are nicely drawn but I did find the doorways hard to notice as they were very dark against the background (maybe my monitor was not bright enough though). The trial version does not have saves so once you die you restart back at the beginning which was a little annoying. Controls seem to work well and the game is nicely presented. There are 30 levels in total which should keep you busy for a while, worth checking out. Jumper Robot costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.
XMAS Taxi is a Christmas themed version of Astro Taxi (see our review here) in which you must take passengers to their destination in a flying taxi. There are 24 new levels to play and I think a few tweaks to the controls have been made as it seemed a little easier than the original, or maybe I played the original to death and have got used to it 🙂 I will be writing a review of XMAS Taxi in the next day or two, so in the meantime check out the original game review to get the general idea. XMAS Taxi costs 80 :MSPoints: and more information can be found here, a trailer can be found below.
