By the way, you probably shouldn't watch that if you haven't seen The Sixth Sense yet.

The point of the game is to experience the game. Listening to a review that, as a backdrop, solves many of the puzzles and shows many of the unique moments is not exactly the same thing as intentionally viewing the ending to a movie.

Hey, I hadn't seen the Sixth Sense yet and didn't see the warning until AFTER I watched it! Now that movie is ruined for me!
Oh well, seeing as it was that director's first movie, I'm sure his films only got better from there! Off to watch them immediately!

So I decided I was going to take a run at the hard achievement in Limbo this evening which also constituted my 2nd playthrough.
After only having gone through the game once, it didn't take long to remember how to solve each puzzle. My total time was around 1 hour, 40 minutes and that included around 20-25 deaths. Most of which occurred at the very end which will be the most frustrating thing about this effort - getting that far just to exceed the death threshold. It's mostly because at the very end

Destination Arcade is up. You actually launch it from your Games list. I had thought it would be like the Rock Band store and accessable from the dashboard, but it's not. I thought it was plain and clunky to use the interface (though seeing you avatar run out at the beginning is nice). Very clearly the interface is designed primarily for the Kinect, with big card-like sections you flip through. Two things that are nice is that they have a "card" that shows games on sale this week (apparently Boogie Bunnies is on sale, who knew); the other is that your XBLA games list propagates very quickly here compared to your Games list. The downside is it doesn't designate which games are trials and which are full games, only how many Achievements you've earned (trial games show as 0/200). The bummer about where the Destination Arcade is placed is that it won't save you any time browsing through your XBLA games list since you'd have to go to your games list first to find Destination Arcade and then load that application. Overall, I'm concluding this is just an add on to search for XBLA games with the Kinect. If this is what the new dashboard is going to look like (and I bet it is), color me disappointed.




It doesn't autoplay from what I can tell.
