"All Biology Battle needs is some minor tweaking and I couldn't see a reason why this game shouldn't be added to the Xbox Live Arcade. Novaleaf has created a wonderful game full of action that can compete with any of the games currently on live. Past the call of duty they also included their own built in achievements and a plethora of multiplayer modes to battle it out with friends. Throw on Leaderboard support for Gold Xbox Live members and you have an extremely fun shooter. It's great to see a solid game like Biology Battle hit the XNA community servers and hopefully Biology Battle can grab some positive attention for the up-and-coming independent games and its adept developer Novaleaf Software."
"Xbox Live Indie Games is a great place for small time indie devs who want a great digital distribution platform for which to launch there small time games. Biology Battle, however, doesn't belong in the XBLIG section. Quite frankly, the game just feels too much like an XBLA game to be there. That's not a knock against other games on XBLIG, but more of a praise towards Biology Battle.
Biology Battle is a top down, one roomed, shooter in the same vein as Geometry Wars. The difference here being that you aren't battling against a bunch of colorful, neon polygonal figures, but rather various virus and bacteria-like microbes. But that's basically the only difference as far as the main game goes. You move with the left stick, shoot with the right and use the triggers and bumpers for any specials you may have. From that point on it's just a matter of dodging while shooting. It's a simple system, but it worked for Geometry Wars and it works just as well for Biology Battle."

Lately GamerNode's Tyler Cameron (and gamers in general) has been in sort of a dilemma. The amount of games they want to buy is not proportional to the amount of money coming in. Kind of a bummer situation that many seem to be in, so if you're having trouble shelling out $60 for every new game, then GN has found a possible solution: Community Games.
A new Video has just arrived on Inside Xbox in the UK.
OXM magazine looks at the top 5 Community games.
They are - RC Air Sim, Weapon Of Choice, Biology Battle, Johnny Platforms Biscuit Romp and Colosseum.
