No new XBLA game this week: http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archi...28/558793.aspx
Piss off GTA! Dammit... |
I can understand not wanting to follow GTA but they could release add-ons. Would have been a good week for a pinball table. How about a new Uno deck? I'm still surprised there hasn't been a Halo deck yet. People would eat that shit up.
|
Wow, Commando 3 does look like a blast.... I may have to actually go for it for the game and not for the beta access... imagine that.
|
Seriously? GTA IV means no XBLA game? That's sorta stupid. They could at least given us a discount on an older game or something.
|
I think it makes perfect sense. I wouldn't want to go up against that shit either, if I was releasing an XBLA game either.
|
This would've been a good week to release a shitty family game like Rocky & Bullwinkle or SpongeBob or Shrek 5.
|
Meh whatever, I'll be too busy playing GTA IV to notice ;)
|
That's dumb, I have no interest in GTA, but may have bought an XBLA game. Oh well I will keep my money.
|
I can see that a large portion of the gaming community will be buying GTA...however, if MS is trying to get a larger percentage of the "family" demographic, this would have been the perfect week/marketing opportunity to offer something tamer and kid-friendly.
|
Ugh, stupid. I'm not one of these guys that whines about minor XBLA/PSN/VC release issues week by week (other than the prolonged absence of Dark Mist on PSN), but their reasoning for not having one this week is really dumb. The GTA player is not the XBLA player. Plus, there's what, 18 million 360s out there and they expect to move 4-5 million GTA IVs between the BOTH systems. That's a lot of 360s NOT playing GTA IV.
|
:shrug: If I were a small development house releasing a game on XBLA, I don't think I'd want it to be this week either.

Assault Heroes 2 Gets May Release Date Written Wednesday, April 30, 2008 by Dan Webb Just in time for summer gaming action, Assault Heroes™ 2, the much-anticipated sequel to IGN.com's 2006 Xbox LIVE® Arcade game of the year, is geared up to invade Xbox LIVE Arcade on May 14th. Re-envisioned for an even more action-packed arcade shooter experience, Assault Heroes 2 expands its horizons into outer space. New features also include hi-jackable enemy vehicles, more levels and enhanced on-foot and co-operative gameplay modes. Whether attacking on foot or piloting all-new spacecraft, players will enjoy optimum mobility in the most dangerous situations. Developed by Wanako Studios, Assault Heroes 2 will be available for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360 on May 14, 2008. |
Does anyone have an Uno code they'd trade for a Worms code?

5/7 release is a video game adaptation of the board game Wits and Wagers at 800pts.
http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/6...a149b32xk4.jpg According to Wikipedia, "The game is played in seven rounds. One trivia question is presented each round, and each player answers every trivia question. Players simultaneously place their written answer to the trivia question on the betting mat, and then bet on the answer they believe is closest to the right answer. The House pays players who choose the correct answer based on the odds marked on the board." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wits_and_Wagers Sounds interesting...but not 800pts interesting. |

Quite frankly, if somebody wants to go through the trouble to cheat on an XBLA trivia game, more power to them. :lol:
|
Can somebody Google trivia questions and call me the N-word at the same time?
|
:lol: I'm sure it's quite possible... but I doubt this game will draw on that type of crowd.

At 400pts, Uno is targeted for the ghetto crowd. But at 800pts, Wits and Wagers will bring in the more sophisticated, "wine and cheese" gamer.

Well Wits and Wagers is more than just getting the answers right. If you don't know the answer but are reasonably sure you know who is the smart person then you just wager your chips on their answer.
It is a combination of a trivia game and a betting on who is smart game. Many times someone who realizes they don't know anything will do better than the person who thinks they are smart due to the fact they will know not to bet on their own answers. :lol: |
I'm looking forward to Assault Heroes 2 for a couple of reasons which I may share later.
