This weeks Xbox Live enabled game for Windows Phone 7 is Tentacles by Press Play (the developers behind Max and the Magic Marker) and I’m pleased to tell you its one hell of a nice game. The game lets you control a microscopic eye fitted with 4 tentacles; 3 are used to move by sticking to the walls and one to grab objects,items or enemies. As you will see in the video below the game looks really good thanks to it’s real-time 3D graphics and performances without any problem (on my Omnia 7 running Mango). The tentacles physics simulation is also top notch and makes up for some really interesting situations later in the game. The game include 40 different levels and is priced at $4.99 in the Marketplace.
