Rumble Massage

Use the rumble to

release the stress, don’t forget

the happy ending!

This has to be one of the most interesting uses of the rumble functionality in game I’ve seen thus far.  You’re able to set the pulse and strength of the rumble and there’s also a setting that allows you to control someone else’s controller’s rumble for interactive massaging that can be done over Xbox Live or while in the same room .  It blows my mind simple yet inventive this game is because it has functionality that spans not only massages and stress relief but could also function as a way for adults to have some personal fun which is quite innovative.

RC-AirSim

Fun RC plane sim

that gives you a backyard to

perform your tricks in.

This game is fairly simple but is definitely a fun time waster.  You get to choose from a good sized list of RC Airplanes and you’re immediately thrown into a huge backyard to fly your plane in.  While the game will most likely grown stale after an hour or so of play it is well worth the 200 Microsoft Points price tag (about $2.50).

Groov

Groov-y  tunes created

from the shooting I’m doing

and I’m loving it.

I’m glad to say that the gentleman that made this game is a member of the boards on 1Up.com and I have to say that he did an amazing job on this game.  Yes it is a bit of a throwback to Geometry Wars and Everyday Shooter but at the same time it has its own flavor that is a fun experience.  Groov is a game that could easily be on the regular Xbox Live Marketplace and is an absolute steal for 200 MS Points.

Sure a shortcut to that moment is pulling out the Wii or Rockband but I take even more pride in being able to do it in other ways.  For instance informing one of the women that work with me that the Xbox 360 has just as many family orientated games as the Wii.  Another was suggesting a couple ways another coworker could get a Nintendo DS for her daughter on the cheap.  Just last night I had a friend over that was kind of bored while his wife and my roommates talked their girl talk so I fired up Geometry Wars Evolved because of him being an old school gamer and he instantly fell in love with it.  Those moments are what get me geeked to be a gamer.

I guess in a way I prefer to empower people to make choices when it comes to games.  Let me help you find out what type of game is suited to your tastes.  I kind of get a thrill out of being able to spread my enthusiasm for gaming like pink eye in an elementary school.
