I signed up as well. Thanks pinata.

Lucidity will come out next week (10/7) and is priced at 800 points, per Joystiq.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose

Just tried Bust-A-Move. Never played it in the arcades or anywhere else before. I sort of liked it. At 400, I would have bought it immediately. At 800, it feels overpriced for what seems like an old, simplistic but solid puzzle game.
It seems very similar to Bubble Bobble Neo which came out what, two weeks ago? That's curious timing there.

Bust-A-Move is known as Puzzle Bobble in the native Japan, so the similarity is expected.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose

I might get Jewel Quest at that price, but after Bejeweled and the Puzzle Quest games, it feels a little simplistic.

I have Golf : Tee It Up. It's not great, but it's not too terrible for a quick nine holes. I'd say that I wish I hadn't bought it at 800 points, but at 400 it's worth getting.

You will definitely get your money out of Jewel Quest. Like Luxor it goes on and on and on. It also gets quite challenging (unlike Luxor).

the 12th will see Prince of Persia DLC for 560pts. This is for the retail release not the arcade game.

Perfect! I've been waiting for this to drop in price. Wish it hit 400 points, but I'll take it now.

I'd like to get the PoP DLC but even with a sale the reviews of it make me wary.

Damn I might have to get this even though I have no plans on opening my copy of PoP anytime soon. They should do price drops on addons for games that are a few years old.

IE NBA Street Homecourt still has download content at full price... Who the hell is going to buy it???

The achievement completionist/whore in me won't let me skip this deal, regardless of reviews.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose

Dark Energy Digital plans to release Hydrophobia onto Xbox Live via a three-episode series.

According to a preview in Xbox World 360, each episode will last five hours and released over a 12-month period.

If the game proves popular, DED may release three more episodes.

To refresh your memory, Eurogamer says Hydrophobia stars Kate Wilson who is “a woman with a fear of water, who is trying to escape from the depths of a sinking ship after terrorists bomb it during a party. It’s a mixture of platforming and Dead Space-style atmospheric action.”

No word on other formats or a release date.
Sounds good. I sure hope they don't try to price these at $20 each, though.

According to Major's show, this week will only have South Park.

Also the DotW is the Prince of Persia Epilogue, not Buku Sudoku. We'll see what pans out because they've been wrong before.

Wow, now that is an awesome surprise. Who is developing it?

Spoiler:
Why does it always feel like pulling teeth when it comes to getting Pixy to divulge some actual info instead of just posting a pic?
Spoiler:
Well, at least this time he posted the name of the game.

Sometimes I have the information, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I'll post it, something I won't. A lot of it (well, most of it) has to do with what I actually have access to and how much time I have while I'm at work as I generally don't spend a lot of time on the internet at home.

And in certain situations, sometimes I CAN'T post certain things. I have stopped sharing this type of information here because people would rather whine about not being spoon-fed then to appreciate a little tease when sometimes even THAT probably shouldn't be public yet.
