The homebrew scene for the Xbox 360 can still be considered as unchartered territory. So those brave enough to crossover the dark side like Matt Stum, deserve some mad props.
His homebrew, started out as a technology demonstrator but then evolved into a game he named Particle Wars. All of the graphics were made from scratch in Paint Shop Pro 9. He says he chose circles because they make for easy art and collision detection (good tip for those that are also starting out).
Game Specs:
Players:
* 1-4
Controls (Xbox 360 controllers required):
* Back button: exit game (Player 1 only)
* Start button: start game (Player 1 only)
* Left stick: movement
* Right stick: emit particle weapon
* Right shoulder: select RWB emitter (fast but weak)
* Left shoulder: select GY emitter (slow but powerful)
* DPad Down: turn off background (Player 1 only)
* DPad Up: turn on background (Player 1 only)
To Do:
* Add two more emitter types that have splash damage, map the resulting 4 types to the DPad
* COMPLETELY reorgnize the code

Before you guys go ranting: "oh noes! not another pong incarnationz this suxxors!!!111" Be a bit patient and hear what I have to say. As standard as pong games are, what's amazing about this Pong Incarnation is that it was made by Rob Loach in 2 hours. Pretty fast wouldn't you say? Props to you Rob
XNA Missile Command XNA Missile Command
Developers Max Damage Studios didn't have much to say about this except that it's an XNA remake of the classic game. From the looks of it, it promises to be quite fun and amusing.
Remember that you'll need the latest DirectX from Microsoft, and the .Net Framework 2.0 installed to play this game
Super Stickman Adventures Super Stickman Adventures
At first glance, you may be surprised at how strikingly similar this homebrew game looks like to Mario Land. The pipes, the bricks, the tiles, yep. They really do look familiar as we have all, at one point, gone through this scene with a fat plumber in red overalls running about in his quest to save the lovely Princess
Blocks Demo Blocks Demo
Developer matt made one of the "blocks are falling from the sky arrange them now or else" type of games of the weekend. Just because. Anyway, he doesn't intend for it to be a complete game, since according to him, he's still feeling out the XNA Environment and he wants to get his feet wet by releasing a few generic game demos
XNA - Diamond Digger XNA - Diamond Digger
Developer PsyCadelik didn't have much to say about his XNA work. There isn't a readme in the archive either. So to be on the safe side, you better consider that this nostalgic XNA take on the old Digger games may do weird things to your system.
As usual the XNA stuff have to be set up on your system for this to work
XNA Asteroid Defense XNA Asteroid Defense
You're in a small ship that can shoot energy beams and other types of projectiles. Asteroids are on their way to destroy your planet. What else are you supposed to do? This game lets you do what you should: shoot them asteroids down!
The controls for the game are as follows:

Left Joystick -- Move ship left and right
XNA - Chaos XNA - Chaos
This XNA game needs a WindowsXP based PC with one or two Xbox360 controllers attached to it.
If you've got the XNA Environment set up, just extract archive. You can then start the game by double-clicking on Chaos.bat. Press the start button on the Xbox360 controller to start a game
XNA - Invaders XNA - Invaders
This game used only line primitives in XNA. It's a cool 2d looking 3d game based on the arcade classic. According to author brownbot it's no sound because you need to download another 300 odd meg of DirectX SDK to bring a wave file in and he figures that not everyone would want to do that
