It's funny how the CSR basically say MS is NOT in it for the software. I basically said I was upset in the way I've been treated (since they said they would expedite my process....LIE, and I said I was start going to buy the cross-platform titles for the PS3). The CSR said, "well, MS doesn't really have too many of their own titles out, so that's not a big issue"

Ms. Pac is my all time favorite game. Needless to say, I've had plenty of practice.

I've actually never played any version of Bomberman, except for the 360 retail release, and I thought it was a horrible, horrible game. Should I give this XBLA game a shot?

"No problems with the controls at all here. Ranked #41 last night with 323k."
Slyway to say, "No problems, must be a user error."

I like it. It's a lot of fun and a nice, social game. A little lag today but not too bad. Good use of the Live Camera as well -- just takes a quick snapshot of you at the end of the game, beaming or bumming depending on the result.

It just blows my mind that people use the digital pad to play when the analog is very responsive, IMO.Talked my wife into trying out Bomberman with me last night. She loved it. Whoo hoo! I now have that and Boom Boom Rocket that she enjoys.
Goes to show you how well designed those old games are that someone new to games can pick up and learn and love in 30 minutes time.

I've NEVER played Bomberman before. I d/l the demo yesterday though and played against 3 other computer opponents. Is the premise simply to blow each other up with your bomb and be the last man standing?
I noticed that certain bricks left power ups. How do you use them? Is the Aracade release meant to be an online game only? Sorry if these are stupid questions.

Of course it probably took you weeks to get the score that I got in a matter of hours, but I MUST beat your high score

X07 is canceled.

Microsoft has officially confirmed that X07 will not take place this year. "I can confirm that we are not hosting an X0 event this year", a Microsoft spokesman told IGN. "We review how we demonstrate our fantastic games and gaming experiences every year, and this year we have decided to highlight blockbusters like Forza 2, Bioshock, Mass Effect and of course Halo 3 on an individual basis rather than have one large event."
The announcement comes in the wake of the comments made yesterday by Aaron Greenberg, group product manager for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live. Greenberg originally revealed that X07 wouldn't be happening on the Squad XP podcast, stating: "There is not a real X07 this year but I think that we will figure out some way to talk about 2008 some time at a different event or a different type of programme."
Here's hoping that Microsoft has saved some big announcements for GC in Leipzig next month then.

Pac-Man is definitely a game I need a joystick for, much like shmups. Too bad Microsoft's little controller security is holding up an adapter for my X-Arcade stick.
Major Nelson mentioned that a few of the guys at the Championship were playing with the conroller in their left hand and using the analog with their right like an arcade stick.
I gave it a whirl. I guess for someone not used a controller it might work, but I couldn't.I've mainly focused on Championship mode so all my other scores have fallen by the wayside. So just to be a bitch I spent the other night replaying every mode until I was back on top of the leaderboards.

I'm just trying to find a contender.
