GameSpot writes: "Finally, Invasion mode lets players take turns to build a level piece by piece, as in the board game Carcassonne. Once you've collectively designed a template and dropped in bases and power nodes, the game automatically creates a level based on the elements the group has selected. In theory, you'll never play the same match twice in this mode, although it's a shame you can't save one of your creations if you really like it From what we played of the game, Madballs in Babo: Invasion is shaping up well for its release, which is encouraging, because Playbrains claims it could be out within a couple of weeks. The company hopes that Microsoft will decide on a price of around 1,200 MS points for download, and it's already planning to release downloadable content for the game shortly after release.

It's the ultimate equaliser and a source of innovation that frequently puts retail releases to shame - but the only flaw is that it's easy for XBLA games to go unnoticed without even making a splash.
So here are ten of the games that fell through the media cracks, that languish near the bottom of the best selling lists yet provide plenty of bang for your buck."
