After a few week of not really having any choice of new games, this week we are overwhelmed with 3 new games that should satisfy all gaming preferences. Fret Nice is a rock themed platformer, Greed Corp is a turn-based strategy game and finally Lazy Raider is an platforming puzzler. Fret Nice will run you 1200MS points while the other two will set you back a forgetable 800MS points each.
Fret Nice
Features:
Fret Nice™ is a 2-D platformer that will rock your world. Control your character through funky-fresh stages to explore hidden areas, collect items, and clash note-for-note with outrageous heavy metal bosses! Rock out by blasting enemies with riff combos and creating your own sounds with each "strum" of a chord! Every playthrough offers an ever-changing sonic adventure.

Audio dynamics: Notes you play in Riff Combos are in tune with the current key of the stages' songs, allowing you to play along with the action.
Facial attribute system: Enjoy this fun and visual way to interpret riff combos. For example, if there are three eyes and two tentacles on an enemy, you have to "strum" three of the same notes and two other notes that are the same in the riff combo. When a note is played in the air, a Riff Combo will be activated to help defeat enemies.
Online leaderboards: The scores from each level played are posted on Xbox LIVE leaderboards. Keep playing for the highest score and beat the competition.
Character customization: Choose your character and customize the hair, clothes, and instruments.
Unlockables: As you play through the game, new instruments and customizable items can be bought.

Lazy Raiders
Features:
Dr. Diggabone's getting too old for archaeological digs, or so he says. Truth be told, he's just plain lazy … That's where you jump into Lazy Raiders® and take control as you spin and flip mazes to send the Doctor or your Avatar on a gravity-defying quest for lost relics that would bring him instant fortune and glory. Of course you'll have to deal with greedy thieves, pesky minions, and ingenious traps along the way. If there weren't any challenges, you'd just grow lazy … and we wouldn't want that, would we?

Play as your Xbox LIVE® Avatar in a challenging platform puzzle game.
The World-Flip mechanic sends you on a gravity-defying quest for lost relics.
The easy-to-learn gameplay lets you jump into the action as you work your way through 75 mazes.

Fret Nice has me a bit intrigued. The other two not so much. But with a free trial, I will give each game a go.
