If like myself you’re addicted to puzzle games like Puzzle Quest and Bejeweled then you’ve got to check out Melvin’s Meltdown. With a simple interface and adorable design Melvin’s Meltdown transports you to a science laboratory where you’ve got to cleanup a radiation mess that’s gone awry.
Using Melvin’s machine you match 3 same colored boxes, a familiar concept, but the boxes have symbols on them. These symbols represent assets you need to collect to keep the laboratory intact. You need to keep your collection of assets balanced. Melvin’s machine can’t collect too many of one color. Should you run out of assets or time the game is over. For just 200 MS Points ($2.50) Melvin’s Meltdown offers a simple interface with quick, casual game play. Perfect for playing alone or with a friend or family member over the holiday. Look for it under Community Games in the XBOX Live Marketplace.

$2.50 isn’t bad. I am excited to see what other community games make it out on XBL!
