Admittedly, I thought Martin was crazy. A charity driven publisher? It was crazy enough that I wanted to get behind the idea, and I’ve been an advisor for OneBigGame since the start (though, I say that while at the same time not taking any credit for what’s been accomplished).

Anyway, OneBigGame’s first game, Chime, has been released on Xbox Live Arcade, with 60% of proceeds donated to various children charities. The game was developed by Zoe Mode out of the UK. Massive kudos goes to the Zoe Mode team for making this happen.

Chime is a mesmerizing little game that absorbed me for a few hours the first time I booted it up. Definitely reminds me of Lumines, and related beat/block matching games… Very polished and fun overall.

Admittedly, my favorite part was getting the 50 point achievement “gift” when starting the game for the first time. A truly nice gesture, especially for GamerScore whores like me ;)
