The term for what Groov does is “synaesthesia” Mo0.

I didn’t realize so many of the XNA games were priced at 400+. Miner Dig Deep was only 200, which seemed just right for a little game with no real point except relaxing and digging tunnels.

Yes, except the App Store is actually priced in terms of real money, and the fart app nonsense is either free or next to nothing, not 400 points (which is what, like £3.50, which is stupid money).

Apathy would describe my feelings towards the whole XNA thing, if for no other reason than it appears to be largely comprised of utter dross and rubbish that can’t make it onto XBLA proper, but priced almost the same. Given that some real shit turns up on XBLA I’m not going to waste my time and money on the stuff that doesn’t cut the mustard.

I’ve never bothered to look at XNA, but by your description, it sounds identical to Apple’s App Store (right down to the fart app).

I’d never bothered to look at XNA until Philia mentioned Miner Dig Deep on her Backloggery, and the sheer number of games on there was baffling. I tried looking around for any other good games, but there was just too much crap to wade through.
