Oh man, back when this was BetaTalk, it was crazy.

I'll be down for trying out the Rummy game. Finally a 400 pt game again. Seems like it's been years since we've seen one of those.

interesting spoilers on the story of Braid

Very interesting read indeed.

When does Death Tank come out?

Jon Blow debunks that and a lot of the common theories in the various interviews/content 1Up and the A/V Club did with him a week or so ago. He basically says (and I'm leaving out his much of his contradictory, pretentious rambling) that no one has got it yet.

I thought Castle Crashers was great. May be one of my favorite "fun" 2D action platformers although they sure ripped a lot of things off from other games. (I'll think of it as homages).

This week on Arcade: RocketBowl, Samurai Shodown II and Shotest Shogi
RocketBowl (800 points), Samurai Shodown II (400 points), and Shotest Shogi (800 points) will be available this Wednesday.

Blah.

On a more positive note, Shred Nebula's demo was actually pretty good. Not $10 good, but good.

pinata242

August was too awesome.

Decker

I'm curious to see if less than fifty people on 360voice.com purchase Shotest Shogi. I have no idea about that game, but can't imagine it'll sell well here, especially at 800 points.

BTW: From last week's games, 214 bought Priates vs Ninjas Dodgeball and 88 purchased Shred Nebula (that's double the total of Double D Dodgeball, but still a major dud).

UncleGramps

That's too bad. The Pirates vs. Ninjas demo was awful in my opinion, but Shred Nebula deserves a little more attention. I wish MS would allow a price point between $5 and $10, which would be perfect for games like that.

Decker

I've been reading entries on the developers blog on CAG. He seems like a cool guy and I would like to support independent developers. Still, I couldn't get into that game at all -- it seemed really difficult to control for me. No way I want to spend 800 points on that. It's not like there aren't more than a few space shooters already on XBLA.

N+ and Buku Sudoku DLC release this Wed.

Sneakily tucked in towards the end of this week's XBLA game release announcement is news that N+ and Buku Sudoku will both be receiving new (and paid) downloadable content this Wednesday.

Metanet is releasing a 200 MS point N+ Levelpack that's packed with 150 single player levels, 50 multiplayer race levels and 25 multiplayer survival levels. While you're at it, feel free to pick up N+'s July DLC as well. If number puzzles are more your thing, then the new 200 MS point Buku Sudoku Puzzle Pack may just be the DLC you've been looking for. It adds 1200 additional Sudoku puzzles to the mix which the Gamerscore Blog crew kindly broke down to being "six new puzzles for one Microsoft Point!" If taken further, that breaks down to one puzzle for every 0.167 MS points or $0.0020875. See, math can be fun!

Castle Crashers has pretty much turned into my favorite game on XBLA.

Ok know thoughts on S. Showdown 2, and Rocket Bowl. Rocket bowl is kind of cool but not sure if I want to buy it. Showdown reminds me why I hate the game, but it makes me excited for other snk games

Does anyone know how the leaderboard that shows on the dashboard is calculated (geowars2)? I'm beating down Boogieman187 in all areas except one yet he's still way ahead on the overall leaderboard - you know, the one that displays in the dashboard.





Nevermind - I think I just realized it's based on Deadline.

Michael Corvin

I assumed it was the total of every mode. I guess that isn't the case?

pinata242

Nah, it's just Deadline. I don't know if that's Bizarre's benchmark mode or if the XBL interface by default takes the first available leaderboard.

This is not me but holy hell!
