Are all these awards based on Alien Hominid?

Yes, they are. Sorry I didn't mention that as I grabbed it from another site this morning. I edited my original post to make it a little more clear.

Those look sweet. I'll never get one though. Just played the first level and had my ass handed to me. :lol:

i saw bullet witch and samurai warriors came out today. Can't say I'm interested in any of them, but Bullet Witch says it displays in 1080p, which surprised me

Giantrobo 02-28-07 09:17 PM

teamxbox gave Bullet Witch a 5.1 or something like that. :(

discostu1337 02-28-07 11:50 PM

I took home Bullet Witch...I'll let ya know how bad it is soon....

discostu1337 03-01-07 12:11 PM

OK, so I beat Bullet Witch last night already (on easy)... one of the worst games I have ever seen. It has a few neat ideas, but looks like it was made by a few college students who don't know what they are doing.

DO NOT BUY it, but maybe rent it for some achievements....I'm gonna suffer through it once more on Normal mode.

xmiyux 03-01-07 12:19 PM

What sort of game is it? Sandbox, platformer, third person shooter, RPG?

I thought the same exact thing watching all the trailers before the game released. It just looks so generic.

Sweet! A new wild west game is coming to the 360:

Call of Juarez announced for Xbox360


Back in 2005, Polish developer Techland (Chrome) announced it was working on Call of Juarez, a first-person shooter set in the American Wild West. Originally, the game was announced for the PC and Xbox. However, right around the time Ubisoft agreed to publish the game last year, the console edition was quietly canceled.

Today, Ubisoft revealed that Call of Juarez is once again saddling up for a console release. Unsurprisingly, given the previous work, the game is set to become the second Western-themed shooter on the Xbox 360, after the tepidly received launch title Gun.

Ubisoft also revealed the release window for Call of Juarez--the game will come to both the 360 and PC this summer. No rating information is yet available, but online retailer GameStop is listing the two products for $59.99 and $39.99, respectively.
It was a depressing day when they canceled the console version, but this news gives me renewed hope. The European version has been out for a few months. Most reviews say the game is great with just one big flaw: the stealth missions suck. The 'regular' missions are fun, but they say the stealth mechanics just do not work at all in the game. Hopefully, the developers spend some time reworking it.

I purchased Alien Hominoid last night....pretty fun game. I was looking to spend my 7900 (now 7100) points on something.

I only completed level 1-1 as the game is tougher than I thought. Can I resume the game at 1-2 when I come back to play?

KurrptSenate 03-02-07 08:15 AM

anyone here have/play Lumines Live?


its impossible to find a match online.

Yes, you can pick up where you left off, much like Assualt Heroes.

I have it but don't quite get it. I love puzzle games(that is 75% of my DS library), but this one just escapes me for some reason. I probably need to hook up with someone just to see how to play it right.

KurrptSenate 03-02-07 08:39 AM

haha

My average right now is 50,000-65,000 (consistently) with my highest score being 85,607

I will agree that this game has a MUCH higher learning curve than most puzzle games, but honestly, I find it much more addictive and thought provoking than just about anything else.

I'm new to the game, but I could definitely show you some strategies that consistently get me in that score range.

I'm still trying desperately to break the six digit mark. Maybe I'll luck out today

So, I guess I should say hello to everyone in here. I'm starting to save up for a 360 starting this week now that I paid of my brand new camera. I'm probably going to wait for the pricedrop on the current premium system/the launch of the new one. I don't have an HDTV at the moment, but I'm looking forward to the online multiplayer, plus the amazing games.

Flay 03-02-07 11:10 AM

Alien Hominid is incredibly tough, but I'm loving it. The art design is phenominal.

DamingR 03-02-07 01:09 PM

I have Lumines, but hate the multiplayer. It's pretty cheap, IMO.

Canis Firebrand 03-02-07 01:20 PM

My boycott of Lumines still stands. Every now and then I fire up the demo. But I have not spent the points.

I have to play Alien Hominid demo tonight to see if it is worth a purchase.

:( I caved during the sale/promotion. I had just finished Viva Pinata and wanted something I could jump into without spending a ton of time on it before I jumped into the next retail game.

Alien Hominid is indeed an absolutely beautifully drawn game and i genuinely wish i liked it more. For a long time in the demo i couldn't figure out why i was dying - i think the round bullets from the guns are really tough to see.

KurrptSenate 03-02-07 02:01 PM

doesn't lumines have a lot of extras you can DL for it?


what was your problem with the multiplayer?

Are you still using your 13" Zenith TV for gaming?
