You could say that. It's hard to find Indie games which are exploiting avatars. I just wish that they would give us achievements (even 20 points would be great).
I'm not sure if they actually allow it or not but you should look into making some posts over at http://twoplustwo.com/ and http://pocketfives.com/ to drum up some more interest. The inclusion of all the more obscure games will certainly be of interest to some people over there. Not that I go looking but I'm not aware of any other game to include things like Pineapple, Pai Gow and Badugi.
So when are you going to do Mahjong then? Do the various Asian versions, Guobiao, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taiwanese, Riichi, Korean, Malaysian, American, other minor formats. Allow CPU or local / xbox live opponents as well as 3 player and 2 player games where possible, have chinese, english, korean, taiwanese and Japanese language and you'll get that hard to get asian xbox market in no time. :thumbsup:
If only Microsoft would get their head out of their arse and make indie games available to everybody :dammit:
I was going to look into canvasing various poker sites, but I'm really ill right now. When I was looking for games to include, I couldn't find any standalone games that had a third of the options that I ended up with and rarely a website with half. I never got into Mahjong and the only allowable languages from your list would be English and Japanese (though an exception was made specifically for Mahjong tiles). Yeah, more markets = more money, but they don't seem to want to spread out any more. I was hoping to at least pick up Australia soon.
