Posted March 17, 2009 OutRun is out next week on XBLA. Also, Alien Hominid is apparently getting dropped to 400 points pretty soon as part of discount thingy they have going on at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2009 Awesome, I'll pick it up at that price. Except...I fear I've run out of points. NOOOOOOOOO... ;_; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2009 Trailer from Behemoths (Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers) latest game So a platformer I guess? Also: SQUEEEEEEEE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2009 It's the Family Game Night this week. Yahtzee, Connect 4 and Battleship all for 800MS Points each. Scrabble isn't available in the UK. I'll download the trials, but the prices are ridiculous. I'm surprised that the room themes are free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 18, 2009 So not only are the games extortionately priced, but the only one I actually want I can't even buy? Impressive. I do think splitting the games up is quite a good idea, though. Or it would be if they were 200MSP each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 7, 2009 Right, I've got 4200 points arriving as soon as WHSmiths can be arsed to deliver them, and obviously I'd like to know what XBLA games are worth getting. My xbox is pretty new, so all I have are Street Fighter 2 HD Turbo Long Name that I hate, and Worms that came with my memory unit. I want to get The Dishwasher and Peggle for sure, but besides Braid what should I invest in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2009 Well since you said you didn't like Alien Hominid HD chances are you won't like Mega Man 9 - one of my favourite yet incredibly tough single player games to come out for the Arcade. I can definitely recommend N+ as well, I sunk hours in to that game and it was the first game in my entire collection to be 200/200'd. Not to say the achievements are easy - you need to beat all the levels to get the last one. Bomberman Live is a brilliant game but not many people play it any more. Good fun locally though; everyone knows how to play Bomberman! Banjo Kazooie is a classic naturally, and if you've played it before you already know what to expect. If you haven't played it, don't be a dick and get eet naaaao! What else is there? Dunno really! Those are the ones that spring to mind. Oh! Bionic Commando is an awesome game. I keep meaning to play through it again. btw, my points arrived j7 - I got Alien Hominid for 400 MSP only 30 minutes before it went back up to 800 points Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2009 Lol - you fucker :P I've already 200/200'd Banjo Kazooie! Been looking around and I think I'm definitely getting Carcassonne. I've made a list of games that look interesting, that I need to research more; n+ Carcassonne E4 Pac Man CE Puzzle Quest Catan Crystal Defender Duke Nukem Echo the Dolphin Exit Exit 2 Mutant Storm Mutant Storm Empire Roogoo Turtles Vigilante 8 Wik: Fable of Souls I don't even know what half of them are...

Posted April 7, 2009 Castlevania SotN is good, really good. The Lost and Damned is quality if you have GTAIV, and you already mentioned Braid, which will keep you scratching your head for hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 7, 2009 n+ Carcassonne Echo the Dolphin N+ is awesome, especially in co-op. It's also extremely hard. 200G is impossible. I found Carcassonne to be boring...partly because I didn't really know what I was doing. It was free, I can't complain. As for Ecco....I played a bit of it on the Mega Drive collection. It's aged really, really badly. Braid is also an awesome experience, but I last played it a few days after release. Its a bit much at 1200 points (I think the 800 point offer is over). I've played Pac Man CE for a bit. It's allright. Depends if you're a big Pac Man fan. Vigilante 8 could be good if they've fixed the framerate issues. Anyway, as said, try them out before buying.

Posted April 8, 2009 If you get Carcassone give me a holler because it´s loads of fun to play with others. Also Catan is good if you like Carcassone. Dan Dare owns a physical copy of Catan, we've had some n-e 4-player games of awesome. Played some carcassonne demo and I think it has potential so I'll probably get that. I've already completed braid (besides the time trial stuff) and I'd only really get it to show other people - shorty said that I may as well just get the demo for that.

Posted April 9, 2009 I've bought Dishwaser (awesome), Peggle (not sure I really know what I'm doing) and Carcassonne (vaguely learning about the strategy, but not totally down with the scoring). Tempted by Exit and Catan, too, but I've got enough to be getting on with for now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 9, 2009 Peggle? Just hit the orange dots. Seriously. That's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 9, 2009 A good definition of peggle: You hit the pegs and try to score as much points and finish by taking all the oran- HOLY SHIT IT´S 5 AM ALREADY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 13, 2009 Give jayseven some credit, I think he can read/grasp basic concepts Personally, while I find Peggle a lot of fun (especially on a couch, passing the controller around) I'm glad I didn't buy it myself, seems a little overhyped and were it not for the length of the main mode and the humour I probably wouldn't give it a second look. I certainly don't find myself addicted to it or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 14, 2009 Tomorrow. XBLA games are only released on Wednesdays. Damn, I am away all day tomorrow. Oh well, it will have to be Thursday for me. Thanks for the info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15, 2009 Outrun Arcade is available to download right now for anyone who was gonna get it, personally I'd highly recommend it as the original Outrun 2 was the game that made me want to buy an Xbox and this version seems to have everything that the updated Outrun 2006 had but with more. Anyway it's a guarenteed purchase for me, downloading right now. : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
