Where Can You Find Reviews of Xbox LIVE Community Games?
Today, at 5:00 p.m. (PST) 1UP.com is hosting their Game Night where tonight they'll play The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, Miner Dig Deep, and Groov. Looking for opinions about any other of the 200+ Xbox LIVE Community Games? Team XNA knows that user reviews of games on the Xbox 360 Console would be fantastic, but they don't exist, yet. Luckily, there are several places on the wilds of the interwebs that focus on offering reviews of Xbox LIVE Community Games and some that even offer you the chance to share your opinion.
Destructoid: An enthusiast press site that regularly reviews Xbox LIVE Community Games!
Worth the Points: Offers reviews of Community Games based on the demo versions of the titles. Also has user reviews for registered users.
XBLA and XNA Ratings: Offers reviews of Xbox LIVE Arcade Games and Xbox LIVE Community Games and also offers users a chance to rate them.

Offline, Dan Amrich does a regular column in OXM called "XNA Underground" covering various Xbox LIVE Community Games each issue, too!
If you're looking for an easy way to keep track of Community Games as they become available now there is a handy dandy Windows Vista Desktop Gadget that can do just that! It shows games as they become available on the Xbox LIVE Community Games Channel on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. It can be configured to filter by region (All, United States, France, etc..) or filter to show games by a particular Creator.
There are also message boards at Xbox.com just for Xbox LIVE Community Games where you can discuss your favorites and learn all about other titles you could find interesting.
If you know of a site or source that you find helpful when talking about or looking for more info about Xbox LIVE Community Games let me know about it, too!

Hello! Let the shameless self-promotion begin! We recently started a weekly podcast (7 episodes so far) and beginning with Episode 3, we started reviewing Community Games. We also list the games and put links to their Xbox.com page in our show notes. A word of warning: We only made the decision to be family safe after Episode 5. The language wasn't pervasive, but we were not editing our guests or asking them to watch their dirty mouths. We have had good response from the developers so far, but have had a hard time contacting them to let them know that they have been mentioned or featured on the show. If you can point me in the right direction for contact information, I would greatly appreciate it!Anonymous

Ah... for some reason I thought that was a private feedback response. Since it is public, the .xml is available by clicking on my name or you can search for PGL Lobbycast on Zune Marketplace or iTunes. Check us out and feel free to leave us feedback at podcast@pregamelobby.comAnonymous

I hate microsoft i just spent two hours trying to setup windows media center on my xbox 360 so i could connect it to my pc and play videos and stuff but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they tell me to go to xbox.com/pcsetup and it doesn't tell me anything, it all media home media accessories and all this other stuff i clicked on getting support i didn't get anything. Once my xbox live expiration is up im selling the xbox and getting a ps3 and geuss what the ps3 network is free you don't have to pay 40.00 bucks a year o wait no 50.00 bucks a year for the membership and one more thing i can't download anything it says my account isn't permitted to download this content. well in family settings it says i can download anything. If you are thinking about getting a xbox don't get a ps3 its much better.Anonymous
