Shadow Complex is just about the only game I saw worth buying on Live. :D

I heard Monkey Island is pretty good, and it's the deal of the week for only 400 points. Haven't played it yet though. I have Trials HD which is fun, have some older games like TMNT and Duke Nukem 3D, but Shinobi by far is my favorite, mainly because it was a childhood favorite in the arcades. Shadow Complex is awesome too. I also got Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Another INCREDIBLY good game is Braid. WELL worth the money.

Also, Xposion Man. If you have a friend or two to play it with (I played it with two other people) it's a fuckin' BLAST to play and pretty difficult too. Plus, the end credits are some of the funniest stuff I've EVER seen.

I just can't justify paying that much for them. That's nuts, especially when, half the time, it's 4 or 5 hours worth of play and then you're done with it. That's just bad economics.

So if you purchase all five games in the Summer of Arcade, you're going to get a 1200 point credit into your account. I was going to definitely get three of the five (which also you can get a 400 point credit for buying three), but I've decided to just get all five :D I was definitely getting Limbo, Lara Croft, and Castlevania....Monday Night Combat looks great it's a 3rd person shooter/gameshow/smash TV type of thing.....and Hydro Thunder got some good ratings so I figured what the hell.

Have the game but yet to try it out yet....free DLC is always nice!

http://www.1up.com/news/lara-croft-co-op-patch-include-free-dlc

The long-awaited online co-op patch for Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is set to hit tomorrow for Xbox 360. To sweeten the pot, it will include the "All the Trappings" downloadable content free, for a limited time. The DLC pack will be available free for 30 days, and features a new area to explore. Unfortunately, no details were given on the co-op or DLC for PlayStation 3 or PC owners, or whether the same offer will be extended to them.
"We're delighted the Online Co-Op is ready and going live - as a thank you to the patient Xbox gamers, and for a limited time only we will be giving away our first DLC pack for free," said Crystal Dynamics general manager Darrell Gallagher in the press release. "Download it, have a go and while you're there try the online co-op mode, it's great fun."

The strategy is a solid one. Lara Croft was released at a slower time of year without much competition. By delaying the co-op mode into the congested holiday release season, the developer ran the risk of players not paying much mind to it. By offering free DLC, it stands a greater chance of attracting players back to the game to try out the new feature.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/10/xmenarcade530.jpg

Following October's announcement of Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network versions of X-Men Arcade, many of you had just one question for publisher Konami: "When do we get to play it?" (Two if you count, "Did anyone pick Dazzler yet?") In speaking with Eurogamer, Konami confirmed that the game would slice up Xbox Live Arcade in North America and Europe on December 15. PlayStation Network will get the game two months later in February.

No price has been put to the partially updated release, but we're hoping Microsoft's exclusivity money bag keeps it squashed.

I played the demo on PC... I didn't like it because it was the same controls as Diablo, which means you click to a spot you want your character to go, click on the enemies you want to attack, etc. So basically it's RTS controls in an RPG.

Well, I did read on Joystiq that they are changing the controls for the 360... I didn't pay too much attention to it but it sounds like it will be more of a hack & slash type controls rather than point & click.

I just tinkered around with breach, man this game looks like a PS2 game, and I think they get worse at certain moments. The explosive damage is crazy, but I have no other complaints, I will say the cover system definitely makes this a buy even though to go into cover is the one of the more shitty buttons on the controller. Rainbow Six had the cover system right.

Well looks like I was right.


The graphics are decidedly weak, including some messy textures and basic gun models. There are also some drops and stutters in the frame rate at times, especially during big explosions or other notable moments.

It's not horrible by any means, unless you're a graphics whore. I'd say they're slightly better than the best PS2 graphics, but the gameplay is pretty solid, so I can deal with that. What I can not deal with is the bullshit lag I've experienced so far, so if they want me to buy the DLC, they'll fix that quickly. There's nothing more annoying than lining up a shot, having the guy bounce around on the screen and then kill you.

Aside from that, it's a pretty fun game and one that I'm actually willing to invest some time into...if they fix the lag. I also wish they had forums so I could give some feedback, but alas, it doesn't look like they do.

Considering some PSN titles are now getting platinums.

And you can pay 400 MS Points and get 200 achievement points, and get the same 200 points for a 1200 title.

02-21-2011, 06:27 PM
Exactly, it's kind of stupid. Personally, I think it should be based on price, so:

400MSP = 200 GS
800MSP = 500 GS
1200MSP = 750 GS

Or something like that. I hate going through these really expansive arcade titles(like the upcoming Torchlight) and only having a select few achievements to go after. Lame.

I didn't like MLB because I was getting my ass beat and it's not something I would play longer than about 15 minutes. Dead Block just has weird controls and it's more about setting up defenses rather than hacking zombies. They're not bad, just not my cup of tea.

I was in the Ms Splosion Man beta and it's mad fun, so I can't wait for that. Other than than, I'm also excited about Bastion and I'm REALLY excited about Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. It looks bad ass.

25. Battlefield 1943
24. Ms. Splosion Man
23. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge - Special Edition
22. Puzzle Quest 2
21. Iron Brigade
20. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

7. Puzzle Quest
6. Super Meat Boy
5. Castle Crashers
4. Bionic Commando Rearmred
3. Limbo
2. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX
1. Shadow Complex


Limbo was okay but other than the art direction was not that mindblowing. I would stick Baird ahead of it. How they left Trials HD off list is mind boggling. Sports games never do well on lists by gaming sites. My biggest gripe is where they placed "Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light" which is in my top 3 with Trials HD and Shadow Complex. Sure they screwed up not having online co-op from the get-go but even as a single player it was an amazing game. I was never into Diablo type games but this sucked me because I played all the Tomb Raider games.

Yeah, I've never given even a single second of thought to NBA Jam. The only arcade sports game that I have bought was Madden NFL Arcade. Give me a chance to play some "NFL football" (as I haven't bought Madden for anything more than just a quick 1000 gamerscore since Madden 09) and dick around when I don't feel like playing any specific game at that moment.

Also, besides the fact that I have never cared for the arcade sports games, I just got NBA 2K12 yesterday. I have absolutely no need for yet another NBA game on top of 2K12, arcade or not.

The video game adaptation of the classic H.G. Wells novel has been pegged for an October 26 launch on Xbox Live Arcade, developer Other Ocean has announced via its Facebook page. The side-scrolling platformer War of the Worlds loosely follows Wells' book, but also introduces new characters and events.

And if you're wondering why Other Ocean sounds familiar to you, then you may have enjoyed some of the studio's most recent works: Dark Void Zero, Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection or the PSN port of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Normally I would agree, but Nexuiz is online only so by the time it drops in price, no one will be playing it. I fully expect I Am Alive and Alan Wake to maintain their price for awhile, and although I do expect Warp to drop pretty quick, it'll be practically free if you're buying all 4 anyway.

I don't know why Bloodforge is getting such bad reviews...I think it's really good and aside from slightly sub par graphics, it's right on par with God of War. I especially laughed at IGN's review, which faulted the game for being "linear and having a sometimes faulty camera." Uh, they said the exact same thing about God of War III and gave it like a 9 or 9.5. This is exactly why I only read reviews for general knowledge and never base my decision on buying a game on them.

For whoever is wondering, it's almost an exact clone of God of War. It's extremely fun for anyone who enjoys slash 'em up type games. It's also extremely gory and has a very unique and cool art style.

And it's $27 on the PC, directly from the developer. So, not so much a ripoff.

It used to be on Steam and it was $5 when it first came out. There's no fuckin' way I'd pay $20 for it and there's most definitely no fuckin' way I'd pay $27 for it.

I've been counting down the days for Deadlight since I first saw it over a year ago. Also for sure getting Tony Hawk and Dust. I'm 75/25 on getting Hybrid(tried the beta and wasn't a fan of the movement system, but it was mildly fun anyway), and there's a 100% chance that I will not be getting Wreckateer. Even if I was into Kinect, that shit looks absolutely retarded.

Also, if you buy at least 3 of those titles before the promotion is over, you get 400MSP back. I like this much better. Last year it was buy all 5 and get 800MSP back, but there was 2 shit games.

Played through about half of it I'd say and I love it. I don't know what they're bitching about. Most of the reviews I've read say there's parts where you die because you don't know what's coming. Well yeah, it's a platformer. I've only seen one of those parts and considering it has a very generous checkpoint system, I don't see the problem.

You have complete control of your character, the atmosphere is creepy, the audio is crisp, and the story is good enough to keep you intrigued. I love it. IGN's review is spot on.

Walking Dead the game is really good. The first three episodes have been top notch. Not exactly an action packed game, it is more about the decisions you make and how they story is affected by it. There are two more episodes coming over the coming months.

I never really cared for the Left 4 Dead series but I thought Dead Island was a blast and looking forward to Dead Island Riptide. There is also another Walking dead game coming from Activision where you play as Daryl but that is quite a ways down the road. I am not a PC gamer but THE DAYZ mod is extremely popular.

State of Decay(formerly Class3) is mainly a single player game. I think it does have co-op, but I'm not sure. As soon as that is released, they're going to finish up Class4, which is a full fledged online zombie MMO. I don't know if Class4 will end up on 360 or not...I don't remember reading anywhere that Microsoft picked it up, just that they had Class 3 as an exclusive(it's now also coming to PC).

Either way, they both look awesome. Between those and the War Z, I'm awful excited.

My problem with Tony Hawk HD is more of an age thing. I used to love SSX, TH and all those games where you had to perform combos for high scores. Now, I just really suck at them. The only reason I am good at Rock Band Blitz is I use power ups that do not require me to do anything outside of playing notes, except for the occasional press of "X" for the overdrive powerup. It does limit my score a bit but I have never been one of those win at all costs gamers.

For those of you who purchased 3 titles from the Summer of Arcade, you might want to check your points. As they did last year, if you were due 400 points, they gave you 400 points...4 times, so you're basically getting an extra 1,200 points for free. I would suggest spending them quickly, though. Last year if you spent them before they realized their error, you got to keep whatever you bought. If you didn't use them, they wiped them out a day or so later.

I noticed on CAG some people got it last year but not this year. I'm 2/2. :D

Picked up Mark of the Ninja and a Legendary Pack for MUT in Madden to get that God Awful achievement out of the way. Score!

Yeah, I think that's how it was last year. If you spent the points they gave you or close to it, they wont take anymore out. Even if they do, you could complain until you got 'em back. "Sir, you spent the 1200 points that we gave you in error." "I wouldn't have spent them if they weren't put in my account, I didn't know."

Problem solved.

I'm almost positive I had 2000+ points last year when I got 1,200 extra and I didn't have any removed. I did buy a game as soon as I saw the error so I'm guessing as long as you spend the mistaken points, they wont take any away. Now if you don't spend them on anything, they definitely take them away.

I only have 42 points left in my account at the moment so they're free to take them if they wish. I wont say a word. :D

It is actually a descent game of pool. My only gripe is that there is no practice mode where you can play by yourself. Only option is to play versus and use two controllers which is a PITA. I love that you can skip through the CPU's shots and it is about time someone lets you use the analog stick to swing your cue.

Xbox Live just can't get enough poker, apparently, with Microsoft today announcing a free-to-play sequel to Full House Poker. Entitled World Series of Poker: Full House Pro, the new game ups the ante (geddit?) with ESPN announcers Lon McEachern and Norman Chad and the inclusion of real-world casinos.

Players start each day with a free stack of chips, which can be played at single tables or in tournaments.

Whether you're playing Pinball FX 2 on Xbox Live Arcade or Windows 8, Zen Pinball 2 on PlayStation Network or Mac, or Zen Pinball on iOS or Zen Pinball HD on Google Play, you'll be able to supplement your virtual table collection with a trio of new Star Wars-themed tables later this month. These three tables will be available standalone on iOS and Google Play, or in the aforementioned games as DLC.

The first three tables offered are themed around Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett and the animated Clone Wars series, each with their own unique missions and layout – and in the case of Episode V, even has footage taken directly from the film that will display in the dot matrix window prior to every mission.

A total of 10 different Star Wars Pinball tables are planned. Zen Studios has yet to finalize pricing, but we'll be sure to pass along that info as soon as it's announced.

My poor 360 could not handle the massive amounts of lesbian pornography stored on my computer.

I bought it when it was first released because it was made by the guy who made Avatar Golf. It has a ton of features but the gameplay and plethora of fumbles was just not for me. In once instance I fumbled three straight kickoff returns.

Another free game from Doritos. The first Crash Course was really fun. I even bought the cheap DLC for it.

Mootcross Madness is out and only 800 points. Getting great reviews and I just downloaded and played it and it looks to be a blast. They are bringing back exploration mode (the best part of any MX game and what those numbnuts at Rainbow Studios left out of their last game).

I saw a few tweets saying that hackers are claiming some responsibility for the outage today and some users are reporting their friends list being wiped out. Anyone here having that issue?

Yeah, it has friends list leaderboard. I need to start playing it again. Personally I only raced long enough to unlock the three open environments, that is where the fun is at for me. Roaming an collecting.

Hopefully we can keep it as close as Rock Band Blitz.

Let's see here, logging into game.

Me: 416,642.334
JB: 367,711

It is neck and neck.

It would be nice to have cross platform scores but that will never happen. After purchasing my final song, American Pie, I just topped the 950 mark of songs owned. I really do love this game. Could never play with the plastic instruments but this was the game I was hoping for ever since I went bat shit crazy playing Boom Boom Rocket.

What rank are you on the PS3? I dropped to 32 and with no plans to buy any more sings, so 31 was my peak.

You should also put some time in Trials Evo, you are the only one on my friends list with the game. It is an amazing game ad hopefully Ubisoft won't dumb it down not that they have acquired Red Lynx.

No clue. I haven't played in forever. CDJ and I would battle back and forth for a while, but haven't played it in a while.

Yeah there are a lot of games I need to get back to :D
