Just noticed in my Gamefly newsletter that Tomb Raider: Legends is only $20. Helluva price for those that don't already have it.

Wow.. That's awesome. I wish more games this good would go down in price like that. Kills my resale/trade value though

I was hoping there would be achievements. When do these come out again?

Awesome. I'll be getting these even if I don't have a 360 when they come out.

I'll probably grab them as well. For that cheap price it could be a fun game. Simple and easy to pass time.

I played a little of Totem ball today at lunch.

It may be my setup/room layout, but the camera was very hard to control.

It could be fun if the camera worked properly for me.

From Nov. 19 through Dec. 24.

It says you have to buy a value meal (in addition to the $3.99) to get these. Will breakfast meals count? Because that's all I eat at BK.

I hope you can buy all three games with the purchase of one value meal. Ah, I can see it now. Wake up and buy the Wii on 11/19, then stop by BK for some food and 360 games on the way home. The only problem I'll have is trying to decide what to play first: brand new console or BK games?

I had the same problem. Totemball requires 2 things to work properly: an extrememly well lit room and a complete absence of background interference.

I tried to play this morning with only sunlight from the windows and the TV glowing in the background. Those sliders were spazzing around like crazy. After shutting off the TV and cranking up the floor lamp, it worked as it should.

Being vegetarian then this might be difficult for me to get. Hopefully they have a combo meal with the BK Veggie.

I forgot to mention this, particularly for Martini, but did anyone else see the arcade montage video? It had video of Settlers of Catan running on Xbox Live. I didn't even know the game was in the works for LA but that is awesome.

Now if we could just get Cosmic Encounter on the Arcade.

I think they have a fish sandwich combo meal, but I'm not certain.

There were a handful of games in that arcade montage video that I've never heard of, but look like a lot of fun. The side scrolling game with the cars shooting lasers (don't remember the name) looks like a cool co-op game.

You poor, poor soul. Playing Burgertime must have been emotionally scarring

Fish =/= vegetable

Also i'm pretty sure Burgertime involved veggie burgers. At least that is what i say.

Sorry about that xmiyux. The few "vegetarians" I've known only omitted beef/pork/poultry from their diet, so I foolishly associated the term only with them.

Yeah, that is normally referred to as ova-pesca vegetarian. They eat fish and eggs.

For those who want the long version: My Totemball review

Cliff Notes:
  • Difficult controls
  • Excellent graphics
  • Tough achievements
  • Major audio problem
  • Gameplay becomes tedious

Yeah, I'm hoping that they'll let you buy the games without a food purchase. I'd even pay the cost of the cheapest value meal and tell them that I don't want the food. They might be a little confused, but hopefully they can do that. If not, I'll give a co-worker 4 bucks and ask them to pick up the game for me when they go to BK.

Quick question. I know there is no way to get rid of the demo XBLA arcade games from your list, but is there a way to get rid of unused profiles that are sitting in the 360? I sure as hell can't find a way to do that.

I thought the sound problems were coming from my receiver. I was watching X3 last night and it gave my sub-woofer a hell of a workout so I thought I ruined my speakers.

I'm glad the game is free because it's pretty bad. For anyone that has the Vision Cam and had/has an EyeToy I am curious if the first games for the EyeToy were this bad. I'm very happy to be able to video chat but I have very little hope for camera enabled games.

Yes, and you can delete demos as well. Go to the system blade and choose the memory option. You can delete demos, profiles etc. there.

Or did you mean delete demos from your gamertag played list? Now that i think of it i believe most demos gave you an option to play or delete once you clicked on them.
