Planet Xbox 360: The Maw Review

PX360 writes: "While Microsoft may have hoped Community Games would provide the next leap forward in videogame creativity, XBLA still has more than enough of its own.

You play an alien named Frank, just after the crash of the spaceship holding him captive.

I love this game, I should pick up those 2 DLC levels up some point, it's really good to see a new comer developer with their own IP doing platforming right.
Even better is that a publisher has picked this and Braid up for PC, seriously, I would buy this one on the PS3 if it was ever released for that too, also, if the concept was extended upon soon, this could be a hell of a great game suitable for Wii.

McDonald’s is gearing up to begin its new One Hot Holiday promotion on December 3 that features Xbox One bundles as its grand prize. That’s not so crazy; it seems like every corporation is running some sort of contest to win next-gen consoles. However, McDonald’s also happens to be giving away a whole lot of copies of Twisted Pixel titles.
