Microsoft also announced an XNA Creator section of the Marketplace, where the users will be able to try out upcoming XNA created games - for free! First out here is a video of the USA-created JellyCar.
Update: Added some gameplay for the very funny Little Gamers.
Update 2: Next up is the Dodgeball game; Rocketball.
Update 3: And here is the garden simulator rising, Culture.
Update 4: The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai gets its own video. What an awesome game!

Quoting Microsoft press release:
· “JellyCar.” Created by Walaber from the United States, this game is about driving a squishy car through squishy worlds, trying to reach the exit.

· “Little Gamers.” This is a 2-D high definition action side-scroller based on the famous Web comic “Little Gamers” created by Loïc Dansart, a 24-year-old software developer from Belgium.

· “Dishwasher.” An intense 2-D action platform game created by James Silva from the United States, “Dishwasher” has a unique, highly stylized look and fast and fluid action.

· “TriLinea.” This puzzle game created by Edison S. Prata Jr., Renato Pelizzari da Silva and Davi da Silva Prata from Brazil mixes fast-paced action with strategy.

· “RocketBall.” Created by Tyler Wanlass, Patrick Murty and Todd Barrons of the United States, this neighborhood game of dodgeball explodes onto the street with fast-paced multiplayer action.

· “ProximityHD.” This game, created by Brian Cable from the United States, takes the essence of strategy games — battles for control of territory and armies — and distills it down to a simple, easy-to-understand set of rules for casual players.

· “Culture.” Created by independent game development company Hidden Path Entertainment from the United States, “Culture” contains challenging games and puzzles based on beautiful flowers.

Unless dishwasher was made by the guy who made the Madness stuff, that was a complete rip off.

visually isnt it just a rip off of the animated section of Kill Bill (black and white with red blood)? it is awesome though.#

Madness combat doesn't seem to be a game, + dishwasher looks ten time prettier.

I couldn't agree more. And Bioshock is a complete rip-off of the original Doom. TV ripped-off radio big time. And let's face it, the personal computer is just a toaster with a fancy screen.

I've been waiting to see this added for a while, really quite cool. Some of the games are very original and a lot of fun. I don't really understand the time limit though. I mean, most of the games are only very small test versions, that just loop the same level over and over. Does it really matter if I continue to play that until the end of time? Is anyone likely to?

The reason for hte time limit is that none of this titles are really done, the point of the launcher was that to show of how it will work in the long run, probobly quite a few more months before it really starts.
