Over at CAG, it sounds like mroe people are experiencing freezes after d/l the update. It could just be coincidence, who knows.....

No problems here.

<-- crosses fingers.

No problem after the dl. (knocks on wood)

Wouldn't you know it. It froze up on me about 20 minutes ago during Zuma. First time. D'oh! Fortunately I wasn't far into the match.

It had better not freeze on me during Zuma!

Especially after playing nearly 2 hours on 1 quarter. Gotta get my high scores! .

It didn't for me... just nabbed the Gap Finder acheivement and hit Son of Sun on one level... need to get the final gauntlet level unlocked though.

You don't need the final level(13-1) to get the Sun of Son acheivement, BTW. The last one needed is 9-7.

sweet! Thanks

Crystal Quest has been released on Xbox Live Arcade at 400 marketplace points and a download size of 24.3 MB.

^^ Any good?

yeah, that looks pretty good.

Downloaded the Full Auto demo and sorry to say it sucks donkey balls compared to Need For Speed: Most Wanted. Looks like a last-gen game to me. Preorder cancelled . I'll have to wait for Burnout and Top Spin for my new games (unless those new Arcade games become available for download).

Thanks to Liver&Onions and a review copy, I got a chance to play through Crystal Quest in its entirety last night. My review is finished and should be up later at VideoGameTalk.

But in short, I really enjoyed the new version of the old school game. I played for 3 hours straight last night without realizing where the time went. It's well worth the 400 marketplace points if you enjoy the genre.

Well, I get to pick up my 360 today after MS shipped it back when it died after the update (I would've had it yesterday, but I had to sign for it)


I see that GR:AW is coming out March 9th (or about that time). We have some GREAT looking games coming out in the next couple months.

I'm eagerly awaiting MLB 2K6 and Top Spin.

Me too....although, upsetting it's the only baseball game, but we will not discuss that.

I also have on pre-order at GameRush:
- Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
- Full Auto
- Saint's Row
- Burnout Revenge
- The Outfit
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
- Gears of War
- Halo 3

Just a heads up. Top Spin 2 is mispriced at Ebgames for $39.99 and they usually honor their mistakes. Get in while it's hot!

Same here. I just cancelled my pre-order yesterday. While graphics do not make a game, I think for the $10 price hike in games the consumer should see a difference for their dollars. MS is the one pushing that this is the HD era of gaming, so the games should look it.

Anyway, the demo was average, I just figured 3 weeks until Burnout, I can wait. Full Auto would sit collecting dust at that point anyway. FA may make a decent $20 title down the road.

Count me in for Top Spin too. Also looking forward to Battlefield 2 which comes out in March as well. A friend of mine talked me into getting it. Hopefully it will be decent for a multiplayer FPS on the 360 since COD2 sucks donkey balls. So 3 full price games in a two month span. I'm not used to that.

Wow, thanks for the Top Spin info....seems like a damn good deal.

It's up!

phew, that's a relief, the demo was lackluster in it's ridiculous easiness. May have to fork over the $5 and grab it Thanks for the fast review!



Oh, and Dynasty Warrior 5 is up for pre-order on ebgames.com and gamestop.com ( http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=200161 ) for $39.99 as well.

Tell your friends!

And tell your enemies as well. We aren't picky!

Good lookin' out! Nothing like a $20 discount to turn a "maybe" game into a "yes" game

This was always a yes game, but definite thanks for lookin' out. Placed my order.

I placed my order too....if it turns out to be the "REAL" price I will cancel and buy in-sotre...$45.03 shipped.
