It looks great, when is it being released? I’d have to agree with Illari about the blue glow, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. It looks great, when is it being released?

The blue glow just looks out of place, my first thought of it was "what's that blue thingy at the top of the logo supposed to be?". It's too visible towards the top, and anyways it might be better with no glow at all. Awesome.

This is mainly because there is no quality control. When a user submits a game it is peer reviewed, and these playtests just check for playability and appropriateness, not how fun a game is. It is a shame because the poor titles are giving the service a bad reputation and weighing down the good ones. Some of the games I really enjoyed are Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp, Weapon of Choice, Artoon and my favourite, Carneyvale: Showtime. I think these sort of games need to be pushed by Microsoft to give the service better exposure. Also, adding even a minimal amount of gamerpoints to Community Games would probably help to increase its popularity. It was really fun to look at all those boxarts, I only saw the first and last one so seeing the process of how you got there was great David.

Although I enjoyed cover sbox6.jpg more (the mushroom cloud over the large city), I'm really digging the design you picked as well. Also, not having a 360 myself, what is the quality of the Community Games like? And how many quality games are there? Heh, that was great.
