Exit and Exit 2 are 2 PSP games. You have to guide people to the exit. It's a puzzle game.

Hmmm, Exit is tempting....the PSP game is pretty fun. Although, I rarely play XBLA games lately....still debating if I want Lumines or not.

I LOVE Exit. It's such a cool thinking-man's puzzle game. Hopefully they've modified the annoying cries of the stranded victims. Exit 2 never made it to the US, AFAIK. I wonder if this game is the same puzzles that I've already completed in the PSP games or if it's full of new ones. One nice thing about Exit is that it's ripe for DLC and even the PSP original featured free, new download-able levels.

Have you noticed how many games that are on the PSP are making it to XBLA? I bet if PSN was up to snuff (i.e. somewhat comparable to XBLA) things like PQ, Lumines, Exit, would be on PSN instead of XBLA.

Wow, that's one lame update. Allows us to play with the Scene It controller. Have no idea why anyone would want to, though. I was hoping for a free deck or something. Yuck.

Might be interested in BG. Haven't seen any reviews yet, but the previews looked pretty good. Then again, they did for Wing Commander as well...

Just tossed 16 screenshots of Exit up on VGT. The artwork is cool.

There IS a free deck update Also a new type of card (gives you 750 or so points and the next person has to play a 3 or a 5 (or something else I think, or not) because it's the 35th anniversary. Go to XBLA All downloads, click Uno, and get the free pack.

The 35th Anniversary deck has been avaiable since the game launched.

Funny, in the past 3 weeks, the XBLA has seen the games EEEE, Exit, Puzzle Quest and a Lumines pirce drop. XBLA : It's The NEW PSP!

If XBLA could get Dracula X Chronicles, I could squash my urges to buy a PSP again.

I think Konami will release Rondo of Blood on the Wii's VC eventually..

So how is the BSG game supposed to be? Is it basically just a spaceship shooter type game?

They never use this deck in the ranked Uno games.

By the way, is there any reason to play other forms of Uno besides the ranked games? Does anyone even play custom games or other forms of Uno besides ranked?

Exit might not look like much but it's awesome. It came out on PSP awhile back.

Unranked Uno games after a night of halo or other multiplayer game are a nice way to wind down the night. We used to do that a bit when Uno first came out.

Pinball FX News

Studios makers of Pinball FX,today has announced that next week they will be releasing new content in the form of a new table. The new table that many gamers have waited months for is called "Buccaneer Table",and will be available on the 31st next Wednesday for 200 MS points($2.50).

It appears that they have been hard at work as we have also been told that they will be releasing an additional table next month as well as a three pack of tables and content in December.

It looks like the long long wait for new content is going to be well worth it beginning with next weeks new board " Buccaneer"!

Hope the Buccaneer Table is better than the other tables which are really just so-so.

Wonder if it is worth it to wait for the three pack or if everything will cost the same no matter what.

Just bought Lumines Live. Wasn't sure I really wanted to buy the game again, but decided that the 800 pt was the magic price point. Played that Heavenly skin. Great, super-catchy song, but the flashing beat gave me a splitting headache. Anyway, it's a very cool song, and actually a neat looking skin. Well worth the free DL. Did anyone get a booster pack or the Holiday pack? Those might be cool for the seasons. Are they new songs or just new skins?

I thought it being craptacular was part of the appeal of WTF. I never WTF'd since I don't have a PSP but it always intrigued me.

Really? Cool. I wasn't that impressed by the original; didn't seem much different from GW. But i've read a review that says the sequel really opens the game up. I'd like to give it a try.

I wish I'd bought more points with that CC deal. I'll be out very soon...

I was reading that a different way. I am thinking they are releasing 2 tables as stand alone ones, and then another 3 different tables in a pack.

I know a while back they were looking into licensing real tables, I wonder if that ever came to fruition.
