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.

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
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.
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.

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?

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.

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.
