Virtual On is out next week for 1200pts. Well 1200 is the new 800 only when mistakes are made.

Delete it from your 360's hard drive and when she asks what happened to it, tell her you'll see if you can fix it, but just play your games instead.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
I beat both my King and Evolved scores this weekend.. but not by much. 
I was way on my way to break 100 on Evolved one game but got slaughtered four quick times in succession, it was literally starting my new lives with full screen waves coupled with the orange rockets circling you ALONG with multiple magnet spawns. I finally got a break on my last life but it wasn't enough to get the extra 20 million (which honestly wouldn't have taken that long with a 2,500 multiplier).

From Major Nelson's blog:
I'm kinda hoping that I don't like Virtua On, otherwise this will be an expensive week. I'm definitely in for B-T and will probably get Sorry since my daughter likes that one. I hope B-T has less camera issues than B-K, since the underwater stuff in that game was truly miserable.

Yeah, this is going to be expensive. I'm in for B-T, Virtual On, and Sorry. At least I have a $10 credit from Amazon from the points promotion, so hopefully one of them will be available on there soon.

I did a BIT better on my Evolved score last night, but JUST short of my 100 million goal.
My overall goal is to be in the top 1000 for everything not named Pacifism.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
Also I read an article earlier today that Max PAyne 1+2 will be Xbox Originals to create some buzz before part 3 comes out this summer. I really loved these games even with there faults (played them on pc) and might get these to play through them again.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
But I can see this being a major fiasco with 101 players in one game, but only one getting to play for prizes.

That is good news! I'm willing to play a few rounds.
I wonder how many people are going to get up early tomorrow just to see if B-T or VOOT is mispriced?
