Cube Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 A thank you for that. First code I got was bunk but thankfully the second one worked. Downloaded it and gave it a go and really enjoyed it. Obviously you only get to play the tutorial but it feels like a very simplistic and relaxing game you can put on for a few minutes and enjoy. Strange that you can't access the game on the Marketplace, not even to buy it, and can only get it through that link and buy it in game. It's because it's not due out yet - it's part of the Christmas promotion. I guess Ilomilo was finished early, but sue to the promotion it's not fully on the marketplace.

S.C.G Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Well I finally got all the gold medals in Dorito's Crash Course plus nearly all of the other achievements (yep, including the Japan 4 one) just got to run through all of the Europe and Japan courses online and then I'm done.

spirited away Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Sorry to whoever was trying to add me to their Harm's Way game and party yesterday. My mic has broken and I was only on for short session anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 That was certainly me at one point on thursday - I was adding anyone on my friends list who was currently playing the game (all two of them). I must remember to pick up my mic from my mum's house. They annoy me though because they don't go loud enough for me to be able to hear people.

LegoMan1031 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just tried the demo for a game called Zeit2. Its a side scroll shooter in space using 'time travel'. Ive now bought it (800ms points)as it seems really cool to play, music is really funky as well! Looks like it could get hard in the later levels though!

Solo Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Any Diablo/Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance fans might want to check Torchlight out, though I'm not sure when it's actually out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I snapped up Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light the other week as it was on special offer for 600mp and i'm so glad I did. I just finished my first playthrough yesterday and it's a gem of a game. Sure, it's more action based than puzzle, but the quality of the game shines though. The replay value is insane aswell, the amount of challenges that are on offer is nuts and it will certainly be a while before I manage to do them all.

Shorty Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Great game isn't it? Have you been playing through it co-op? I think that's where the fun lay for myself, suddenly being thrown into a trap and having to figure out the solution before time runs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did play a little bit in co-op, but that was just for the achievys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Summer of Arcade games and price have been announced. As we melt under the heat in a horrible, muggy London, we look forward to the beginning of the Xbox Live Arcade Summer of Arcade getting underway, bringing with it a host of new downloadable games to sink your teeth into between undercooked barbeque meats and sunstroke. In the tried and tested annual Summer of Arcade tradition, each week will the release of a new title on the Xbox Live Arcade, starting with the retro charms of Bastion on 20th July and ending with the 80s action movie-inspired Toy Soldiers sequel, Cold War on 17th August. Here are the summery Summer of Arcade games in full: •Bastion (Supergiant Games/Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) - 20th July - 1200 Microsoft Points •From Dust (Ubisoft Montpellier/Ubisoft) - 27th July - 1200 Microsoft Points •Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet (Fuelcell/Microsoft Studios) - 3rd August - 1200 Microsoft Points •Fruit Ninja Kinect (Halfbrick/Microsoft Studios) - 10th August - 800 Microsoft Points •Toy Soldiers: Cold War (Signal Studios/Microsoft Studios) - 17th August - 1200 Microsoft Points And as ever, purchasing all five Summer of Arcade titles will entitle you to a bonus, in this year's case you'll bag yourself a copy of Crimson Alliance - worth 1200 Microsoft Points - absolutely free when it releases on the Xbox Live Arcade on September 7th, 2011. Lovely! I can't wait for Bastion, it looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindFreak Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Never heard of Bastion but did a youtube search and it really does look awesome. Might buy that when I get home from Barcelona in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Bastion looks like a potentially good game, but it doesn't look like my type of game at all. From Dust I'm not sure about, but it's made by the guy who created Out of This World, so I'm hoping it'll be a pleasant surprise. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet tries too hard. I'm not sure about the gameplay - it doesn't look like my type of game. Fruit Ninja Kinect is lucky it's a successful iOS game. It really stands out (in a bad way) among the other titles. Toy Soldiers: Cold War doesn't do enough with the toy angle (based on the trailer) and ends up looking like a generic shooter with some minor twists. Basically, where's my Guardian of Light sequel?

S.C.G Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) The only game I'm genuinely interested in and will be picking up for sure is Bastion because if it plays like it looks - absolutely amazing art style - then I think we're in for a treat. By the by... I'm guessing we should be getting Radiant Silvergun sometime this summer too? Must be after this lot are released... hopefully soon after as I've been wanting to play it for a decade or more, the only thing putting me off the Sega Saturn original - other than it being an import - was the pricetag so the XBLA version is something of a blessing. ------------------------------------------------------------ After searching the XBLA wiki page I've discovered that there are two seemingly decent titles being released today too... Half-Minute Hero Super Mega Neo Climax Galaga Legions DX Good times ahead. Edited June 29, 2011 by S.C.G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 titles being released today too...Half-Minute Hero Super Mega Neo Climax Didn't know this was out today, I'm 20 points short as well. Hope I got a spare points card at home otherwise I'll pick on up on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading about it today, sounds... intruiging, I'm sure I've heard of the PSP version but never bought the original because I don't really buy PSP games - I didn't even part money for the console itself, got it off Coke Zone - in fact the only game I bought was Phantasy Star Portable 2 lol so yeah... anyway I'd likely be interested in buying this 'DX' version of what I assume to be one of the better, more original PSP games.
