Today Ars Technica had an article called
Meet your Xbox Community Game launch titles
in which in called Bloc the "best game to hit Community Games". As the lead programmer on Bloc, I couldn't be more happy to see such positive things being said about my game. Hopefully you all can give the game a try (free trial!) and see what you think. Be sure to use these forums here to give us any feedback or if you have any issues.

Looks like IGN also liked our game. In their article
XNA Communal Shower
they praised Bloc saying that it is "proof that a game can be simple and still be fun" and that "at just $2.50, it's one of the better deals for a Community Game".

This is a reeeeally cool game well worth the 200 points! Awesome coop mode. Thumbs up, go buy and play!

I've only seen
one review
that's less than flattering. Of course, that's based on the trial game so... :(
Here's my reply to their post:
Basing a review on the trial, which at this point is limited to 4 minutes, is like reviewing an alpha version of a regular game, not really fair. If you're going to be honest, buy the full version and really review it.
Bought it yesterday. :)

This game was totally worth the 200 points. It's so simple, yet it's great fun.
