Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Tried Gyromancer this morning and it's........Puzzle Quest with a Bejewled Twist mechanic. The puzzle board looks great, very sharp and easy to read. Not used to the Twist mechanic yet -- glad they don't penelize you for not making matches the way PQ does. Not crazy about not recovering HP after battle; can't fully tell from the demo, but that could be a problem later. I'm a little torn on this one -- it's certainly a good game, but I'm not sure if I really need another one since I've barely scratched the surface of Galactrix. The cost of 1200 points isn't unreasonable, but it is enough to give me some pause.
And I bought Peggle Nights this morning :up: Can't wait to play some this evening. |

The Peggle Nights price point is fantastic.

Links for demos and new content:
Diner Dash ® Demo, 800http://marketplace.xbox.com/xweb/lib...ints_12_12.png, 62MB Gyromancer Demo, 1200http://marketplace.xbox.com/xweb/lib...ints_12_12.png, 162MB Gyromancer Map Pack, 240http://marketplace.xbox.com/xweb/lib...ints_12_12.png, 332KB Peggle™ Nights Content Pack, 400http://marketplace.xbox.com/xweb/lib...ints_12_12.png, 22MB Great and expensive day for XBLA. I can't wait to dive in. A little annoyed there's already a $3 expansion for Gyromancer, but I really don't know what a "level" is yet to know if that's worth it or not. |
Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Yeah, I saw that map pack. For 1200http://marketplace.xbox.com/xweb/lib...ints_12_12.png, you'd expect a pretty complete game. They really should have waited a month or something before trying to upsell DLC to the package. Who do they think they are, PSN?

Peggle Nights!!! |
Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Gyromancer needs another run through the demo, this time with me paying attention and not in a party chatting with a distant friend.
I liked it, but I'm not really sure I knew what was going on in the game. It seems I'm the only one moving the pieces unless I hit the X button which does something I don't understand. The help/controls in the game don't seem very helpful yet. 1200 points seems a lot right now, but it depends on how long the game is. I did see one creature (somehow I upgraded to a mega-beast in the boss battle) had a level cap of 70, so that might be a pretty good indication. |
Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Peggle goes on sale for $5 starting next week. Perfect timing for a Peggle + Peggle Nights combo.
Death Tank is also down from 1200 points to 800 points next week. The week of November 30th is Sonic the Hedgehog 2 from 400 points to 240 points. http://xbox.joystiq.com/2009/11/19/m...s-of-the-week/ |

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
You do have to download the Peggle patch (even after downloading Peggle Nights) before those 50 G show up in the game, though.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Oh ok after pinata's post I thought I went blind from too much ..
|
Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Ah, yeah, I didn't realize you would connect to download the extra content, but then disconnect before playing it to get the patch.
FYI, the new challenges are HARD. Way harder than the first go-round, but that's probably just because of the levels themselves. |

Damn. I can't complain though, it's not like I'm hurting for quality games right now anyway.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Madden Arcade will be the only game debuting on XBLA this week. It will be 1200 points. Hope it's better than NBA Unrivaled at least.
Reminder : Peggle is 400 points and Death Tanks is 800 points this week for Gold Members. |

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
Puzzle Quest 2 coming to XBLA in Spring 2010. I find this interesting, if for no other reason because I thought Galactrix WAS Puzzle Quest 2.
Here's the story from Joystiq: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.c...2gamepro-1.jpg Though we're confident Infinite Interactive's Puzzle Quest 2 will eventually be a mega-multiplatform release like its predecessor, D3Publisher announced that the game's roll-out will start on DS and Xbox Live Arcade. It'll be out in spring 2010, along with every other game you've ever heard of, which means that you'll now have the choice to play all those games or Puzzle Quest. They'll occupy about the same amount of time. Puzzle Quest 2 will let players match gems as one of four new character classes: War Mage, Inquisitor, Barbarian, or Assassin, using "all-new weapons, spells, and shields." Sorry if you just got over a Puzzle Quest addiction. |
