Chime
By BillGameBase
XBox 360 (XBox Live) - Zoe Mode/Valcon Games
'Place blocks, build quads, get coverage, make music.'
Chime is a mixture of a ToneMatrix with Tetris like puzzle gameplay, combining to form one challenging, creative and mesmerizing game.
Choose between timed or 'free' play modes. To move on to the next level (and track) you must create 50% coverage of the screen. This is done by forming quads by positioning the various shapes which appear. Experimentation is encouraged, allowing you to play with the different effects the position of the shapes has on the sound of the music.

Vancouver 2010
By BillGameBase
XBox 360/PS3 (tested on Xbox 360) - eurocom/SEGA
The 2010 Winter Olympic Games are well under way in Vancouver, and if you have been imagining what it may feel like to stand on that podium by doing something very dangerous, very fast, then you may want to give the Official Game a go and take part in your very own Winter Olympic Games.
As expected there are different events to take part in. Each has a quick, but essential tutorial. Play in your own events or tournaments, multiplayer offline or online or against the computer.
In general the controls are pretty paired down, with many events using the same or similar control methods (see video for more info).

The Adventures Of One Button Bob
By BillGameBase
PC (opens in a separate window) - Ninja Doodle
As the title heavily implies, the controls to this game are minimal: just the left mouse button or equivalent switch.
Each scene must be completed using the button in different ways, often requiring accurate timing and reactions.
If you die (which happens frequently) you only start the page again rather than go back to the beginning.
The Adventures Of One Button Bob is an imaginative use of the one switch concept, and is inspiring in its variety of gameplay despite it's restrictions.
