Xbox Community Focus: Groov, Altar of Gems, & Artoon
Posted by Art Green, 317 days ago

Welcome to Xbox Community Focus TGR’s weekly feature spotlighting Xbox Live Community Games and independent development. Given the enormous amount of content that is hitting the marketplace, we’ve leafed through the Community Games channel, and come up with three games you ought to try this week.

Groov

Groov

Groov is a dual-stick shooter on the Xbox Community Games channel that combines the look of Geometry Wars (to the point of copyright infringement) and Everyday Shooter. As you shoot at randomly shaped enemies, they’ll have a different instrument or vocal clip play and add to the background music that is already playing.

As you kill more enemies and get a higher score, you’ll get to play another “wave” or song -- until you run out of lives. There is no bomb mechanism, however, and it is a pretty hefty challenge to avoid getting hit, even early on.

While the game isn’t new or innovative in any way, if you haven’t played a game like Everyday Shooter on the PlayStation 3, grabbing the demo of Groov is a worthy substitute.
