It might not be terrible, but it holds no interest for me at all.

What sort of games do you like?
Lots of stuff really, I guess my problem with the vast majority of the 10% (lets just say that for the sake of argument) of the stuff on there that isn't just plain bad, is that for a little more you can get a better version of it elsewhere, with better production values, a better feeling set of controls or with more to offer. Either that or as in the case of Miner Dig Deep, it just doesn't interest me at all.
Like I said the only exception so far (and I do check out most of the games people recommend) is Jump. Thats mainly because it could quite easily be an XBLA game and no one would say it was out of place.
