    I’m looking forward to playing the trial. The charity aspect appeals to me. Hopefully, the gameplay will be able to stand on it’s own merits.

  • Skunk175

    At least we’re finally getting a game not overpriced.

  • Skunk175

    The graphics look pretty neat too, it’s a retro game. =o

  • LYSTER OF SMEG

    looks very interesting and what charity is it linked to?

  • ItsNymo

    I’ve been looking forward to this one. Glad to see a nice cheap game on the marketplace. Not to mention one that is going to be charitable. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

    As for what charities it’s linked to, see here http://www.chimegame.com/onebiggame/

  • Kenjuan

    ItsNymo beat me to it. Yes, the website is http://www.chimegame.com

  • LYSTER OF SMEG

    Cheers, but PriusGuy2004 whats with those last five games played. NBA 06 ???

  • happysnowman163

    Will give this a whirl. Thumbs up from me. Looks nice and a little different and only 400 points; plus I think its worth supporting OneBigGame.

  • happysnowman163

    I’ve never noticed before that the picture for Monopoly is the EA logo….

  • ibelievein93x

    I want Perfect Dark and Plants vs Zombies!

  • SumHydroponic

    I for one will be picking this up. Great price for what looks to be a fun game. Also the fact that it will help save the children is a plus.

  • Joergen8

    A game with three composers I respect AND its for charity AND its made by a company that sounds like a cute woman AND its only 400ms? DEAL!

    Looks pretty good and it’s cheap! Win! Hope they make millions!

  • Ganon255

    I’ll get this. The game looks like it be okay, plus the price is right. Charity thing is cool.

  • Skunk175

    Cheap price. Check.
    Helps charity. Check.
    Looks awesome. Check.

    I will most likely be buying this. =)

  • PriusGuy2004

    @LYSTER: yeah…I was just wanting to play something different for a change, and I don’t own some of the newer titles that everyone else seems to have these days…so I make due with what I’ve got. But, I digress. Back to Chime talk! :-) Music sounds pretty good in Chime…at least from the previews I’ve seen. Not sure it’s really a “retro” game. Looking forward to it on Wednesday!

  • Jonah Falcon

    It’s Lumines meets Tetris.

    I’m intrigued, by both the gameplay and the charity aspect.

    Speaking of charities, I don’t get why the Red Cross gamer pic and theme are free. Surely, someone at MS considered charging SOMETHING for each AND giving ALL proceeds to the Red Cross. The Behemoth, btw, is giving all proceeds from its Alien Hominid HD and Castle Crashers DLC sales (not sales of the main games, but add-ons, themes, and pic packs) to the Red Cross up to a certain dollar amount—and then matching that amount: http://devblog.thebehemoth.com/?p=2101

  • Surly x Duff

    Super excited to see this one finally. Downloading as soon as I can. Finally, a decent looking game for a reasonable price!

  • stststststq

    No mention of it being a non-profit game with a percentage of the proceeds going to charity, Major?? I know it’s mentioned in the comments above, but you could have given that a mention in the main post. :)

  • SilentHunter382

    I will be picking this up tomorrow. It looks like an addicting game. :)

  • Exu

    A purchase, provided it’s any good.
