[games_access] Looking for One Switch Games thoughts...

[Tara Voelker (Tefertiller)]

Games for Health in Boston? Eleanor and myself will be there as well!

A 1 switch game I recommend is Shoot 1 Up.  It isnt one switch by default,
but you can turn that option on in the menu. It's pretty fun. You can
download if for a dollar from the indie channel on XBox Live. It's pretty
fun.Here is a video showing all of the accessibility features:

I also recommend checking out a game that was part of the Global Game
Jam.... It was designed to be one switch.You can read about it, see a video
and download it here:
