Secret XBLA puzzler: Ilomilo

Yeah I got a review code and am making my way through it now. Great puzzler with lots of charm appeal!

Have you unlocked the avatar awards yet? The ilomilo pets are so awesome to have. And if you have a savegame for ilomilo, you can build them a house in A World of Keflings and they'll wander around the village. Same goes for Raskulls. This winter promotion is one of the best ones Microsoft has done, I think.

I've got two of the three (I think there was three anyway) but I haven't even looked at them yet. Honestly, I could care less about my avatar. I still have the clothes I put on it the day I received the update and forced me to create it. The only thing I added was an Elvis doll from Perfect Dark (not Elvis Elvis but Elvis the alien lol).

Also I've never played any Keflings game and don't know anything about Raskulls lol. I love interconnectivity though. Great idea!

Well, I'd never actually spend money on my avatar, but I'm fond of the little guy. And I figure if I'm going to have to see him each day, I might as well give him cool stuff.

As for Raskulls...it seems like a typical platformer so far, but with a little bit of Mr. Driller mixed in. I've only played a couple of levels, but it's funny as hell. I never bothered with Kingdom For Keflings 'cause I didn't like the demo, but I'm enjoying World of Keflings. It's basically an RTS without enemies (at least none that I've seen). It's not terribly exciting, but it's a good way to kill time.

These two games come out in the next two weeks as part of the Xbox winter promotion.

Just bought this from live and think it's great. Do you guys have any recommendations for similar games?

[Murgatroyd7]

Well, there's Tinker, the free Games For Windows Live game. It has a similar gameplay style. And I think Braid sets a similar mood. You might also want to check out Machinarium and Dream Machine (both for PC), both of which are referenced in ilomilo.
