:lol: Can you imagine seeing Connect Four by itself for $10? They'll probably try it.

Sold! I bet one of them will be to claim 65% of the board.

A year and a half back someone from Cosmic Encounter Online also said they were working on an Xbox Live version of the game. That would be really sweet as well. |

Boggle using a controller would be brutal.

Wouldn't you just highlight the first letter, push A, then move U/D/L/R to the next letter, repeat until the end of the word, push A?
Either that or allow keyboard entry and have the game determine if the word exists in the field. |

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
I can't believe I missed Puzzle Arcade. I'm a puzzle freak. Downloaded it this morning and LOVE IT! Hard as hell, too.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Don't know what's coming out tomorrow yet, but on the 21st is a game called The Maw: http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2009/01...xbla-jan-21st/
The Maw will be priced at 800 Microsoft points and contain enough purple goo creatures to satisfy your need for purple goo creatures. Want more? How about these Twisted Pixel supplied (and completely random) The Maw facts and figures: * The Maw is comprised of over 900 animations, 1000 sound effects, 25 music tracks, 200 visual effects, and 150 models. * The Maw uses 85:1 compression technology making it a 150MB download. Without it, the game would be a chunky 2GB. * The Maw allows gamers to unlock free gamer pictures and a premium theme. * The Maw is a video game. Also, completely unrelated. Bizarre creations has released a 13-minute "Mega Mix" of Geometry Wars 1 & 2 music you can download here: http://media.libsyn.com/media/godfree/46860_choices.mp3 |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Still no XBLA game announced for this week. However, The Maw has been confirmed for the 21st, and it looks amazing!
What Is The Maw?

"We set out from the very beginning to create the most content-rich and impressive game that we could for ten bucks and 150 megabytes," said CCO and Director Josh Bear. "There are over 900 animations, 1000 sound effects, 25 music tracks, 200 visual effects, and 150 models, making this an incredible value for your $10… in the time that we have left." Bear then wept bitterly. 2GB == 150MB The Maw will weigh in at a slender 150MB due to the superpowers of Granny 3D and its stupefying 85:1 compression ratio for animation data. Without it, The Maw would require more than 2GB of space, a size more attributable to retail titles. "I don't think we could have done it without Granny," says CTO Frank Wilson. "The simplicity of integrating the technology into our engine, the artist-friendly tools, and the brilliance of their compression algorithms are unbeatable." Unlockable Free Premium Theme The Maw will offer the rare opportunity for players to win a free premium theme as an in-game unlockable. The only way to get the theme (and free gamerpics too) is to play The Maw and find them. |

I want a full, unedited version of the Waves song. |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Looks like no new game this week, but we are getting “Castle Crasher: King Pack” which will be available for 160 Microsoft Points Jan 14th.
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
I assume this is for the rumored 2 other characters?
I can't imagine that price point will give us any new stages or anything. |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
the Castle Crashers: King Pack adds two new playable characters, a party-healing spell, three new weapons, and a seal animal orb named Pelter
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Glad to hear about Castle Crashers, was wondering when that was going to come out.
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
I was hoping to open this thread and find some good release news.
I have 60+ XBLA games purchased and couldn't tell you when or what the last game was that I bought. It feels like months since XBLA has released anything worth buying. |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Truth, though next week looks promising.
Where is PQ: Galactrix!? |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Anyone up for some Castle Crashers co-op at some point in the future? I really like the game, but playing it solo is a little bit of a chore at times. I'm on most evenings post 8 EST.
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Haven't played for a while, but hit me up for some Castle Crashers sometime. I'm usually on after 8 p.m. central. Gamertag is Grendel1974.

The game looks good enough to be a full retail game! It's already won several awards and is up for a couple more at various shows in the coming months. I've had it on my radar for a while, but after watching some of the videos, my interest has jumped way up! |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
It's in the latest issue. I thought it got a 7.0 or so. Not brutal but not great either.
I wouldn't write it off based on a single review. Hopefully the other scores will be a bit higher. |
Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Just saw this on my achievement website, but they are coming out with Minesweeper Flags for XBLA. Should be interesting to say the least on how they justify selling it for anything but 400 points if not free.
