For those lucky enough to be a part of the NXE beta the first 3 approved games hit the community games channel this week. I put this screen shot:

up earlier this week but now thanks to my new toy I can show the whole process on video.

If you have Silverlight then here is the hi res version. Or download the WMV here

I didn't have time (or any software - anyone suggest some decent free/cheap video editing package) to do any fancy editing, add commentary or callouts... but here is a quick index:

• 0:00 New NXE 'home page'
• 0:06 Community Games
• 0:24 Game info pages - downloads, screen shots, details
• 1:00 Playing Fruit attack - CG splash screen, game demo
• 2:00 Zman sucks at video games! (He's old!)
• 3:17 Hello Machaira....
• 3:33 Unlock game screen from dashboard
• 4:15 The computer kicks my ass (bear with me I'm waiting for the trial to end)
• 5:12 Trial period ends - standard buy screen appears
• 5:28 I spend 400 points!
• 5:49 Game continues as if nothing had happened
• 6:20 Wow this is getting boring
• 7:00 End game - notice its not in trial mode any more. Notice that when you quit it doesn't go back to the Community Games page. Seems odd.
• 7:46 Cubage demo
• 10:00 Space Combat Demo
