Only 3 weeks after it was put out in disc form? What a coup!! Anyone know if it's $20, $15, or what? Not that I care, but I'd like to know how ripped off the XBLA players are getting compared to the $30 retail disc version with both games.

I can't imagine anything you can put in the 9/9 blank to make me care

That's Beatles Day, man!

Highly unpopular opinion here, but I actually liked Part 1 of the Watchmen game. Granted, I didn't pay $20 for it. I got it from an eBay seller for $10, and I think it's actually a decent beat-em-up. I guess you could just button-mash your way through it, but with the dodge/counterattack mechanic and the combos, you can play with a bit more finesse if you want. Sure, it's pretty generic, and there are plenty of better XBLA games out there, but I don't think it's the steaming pile of shit that many have made it out to be.

I think it's $15 on PSN. Not that I browsed too carefully.

9/9: Shadow Complex 2

Splosion Man last night I played 3-14 playtime: 45:10

That is all

When is that World War II CCG game due out?

Hell, just give me Peggle Nights DLC and I'll at least give it a look.

I checked out the demo. It was pretty fun. Almost like Alien Hominid with zombies thrown in. Only problem i had with it was you get the four weapons immediately. I hope they give upgrades to different weapons later on. Debating on whether to get this or not.

Not sure if anyone's played Supercow, but it's a fun, though very straightforward platform game that easily has the best, most polished presentation I've ever seen for an XNA game.

And it looks a lot better in HD than it does in this clip.

I love Supercow, the graphics look gorgeous. It's also a great game if you have kids.

co-op games modes, 50 levels, a never ending mode and a Zen mode. All for only $1. The video doesnt do the game justice. It looks great visually.

Ahem...

Hopefully that Castle Crashers pack will have new achievements in it as well. That'd add a lot to the replayability, for me at least.

TOEJAM & EARL COMING TO XBLA!!!
*All caps cannot even begin to express my excitement over this!

Summer of Arcade is officially over

Watchmen 2
NBA Draft Tracker

It's going to feel a little weird to not buy an XBLA game this week.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed on Super Hard has been conquered.

Super Hard is clearly not worth it if all one wants is the 5 achievement points, but I thought it was a ton of fun and would have done it even without the achievement. I probably won't go for no damage on all levels to compete with a certain DVDTalker, but I think I could do most levels pretty easily, with the exception of the Albatross.

Found this on the Xbox fourms about Pinball FX

" i was asking a question about whether there would be a patch for the speed machine/tournament wizard bug,
and more out of hope than expectation i asked if there would be any new tables. to my glee, this was the response:"

'We will rework the whole game very soon, and address this issue as well.
New table are coming, the next one out in 2 weeks - probably the best
table we have ever made
Thanks,
Zsolt'

sweet!

I would love more pinball tables!

Good game that I do not play nearly enough. More tables is good news.

What bug are they referring to?

And they better not be recycling a Zen Pinball table as their DLC. I wasn't happy to find the first Zen DLC table was SFII.

Yeah, I bought SFII and its a pretty boring table compared to the rest of Zen.
