Not too long ago we let you know of Microsoft’s new LIVE Community Games thingy (not an official descriptor). Essentially there are going to be people, maybe even those you know, making little games to share with the world. To showcase what type of games we can be expecting there are seven demos out on LIVE Marketplace today. Below are some details on the games, followed by a gallery of glorious screenshots.
In terms of just the visuals my favorite has to be Jelly Cars, which looks like a kid who likes to do drawrings made a game. Continue on for the info you came for and continue on to the screens when you’re done perusing.

At one stroke Microsoft have removed all the barriers to game development and more importantly to game publishing. We will have a flowering of innovation and creativity beyond anything the game industry has ever seen before. Probably beyond what any creative industry has ever seen before. The last explosion in gaming creativity was the bedroom Sinclair Spectrum coders in the 1980s (we have been going downhill creatively ever since), this will be thousands of times bigger. The possibilities are infinite.
