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

Now I gotta back-track a little. I'm not exactly sure what that website is or where they're getting their information. The titles don't sound far-fetched and they're subtle enough not to be meant solely for website hits, so I don't know...

They're also (almost?) all Atari and Konami, which are already big players in the Game Room thing.

There's a couple of cool games in there though, and a few I've never heard of, which is a feat.

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

Zoo Keeper is the one where there's a hollow rectangle of bricks with random animals inside. You're the zookeeper, running along the outside of the rectangle. The animals wear down the bricks as they collide into them, and if they make a hole in the wall, they escape and run along the outside of the rectangle. Running over the bricks will cause them to regenerate, and jumping over an escaped animal throws it back inside the rectangle. I loved it as a kid, and it holds up fairly well for an early 80s arcade game.

Zoo Keeper might get me.

Space Ace? Really? The download would be huge.

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

A couple of these might get me, but honestly I have a hard time believing Space Ace (which would probably mean that Dragon's Lair wouldn't be too far behind) is for real. Question though, anybody ever play Warrior? Is it any good?

That's not an official Microsoft page. Just someone's blog. A well timed blog, but nothing official.

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

According to X360A.org, here's the list of the 10 games going on sale tomorrow(?):

- Age of Booty 400 points (usually 800)
- Defence Grid, 400 points (usually 800)
- Lumines LIVE, 400 points (usually 800)
- Mad Tracks, 400 points (usually 800)
- Rocket Riot, 400 points (usually 800)
- Schizoid, 400 points (usually 800)
- South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play!, 400 points (usually 800)
- Super Street Fighter II HD, 560 points (usually 1200)
- Track & Field, 240 points (usually 400)
- Wallace & Gromit Episode 1, 400 points (usually 800)

I'm definitely in for Defense Grid, Rocket Riot, and South Park.

I should say their source is the UK Xbox Facebook page, so the US deals may be slightly different.

I'll certainly be picking up South Park at that price.

Well, it's only 7 days so there's got to be more than 1/day.

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

Hmmm... Own Rocket Riot, Lumines LIVE, Super Street Fighter II HD Remix and Age Of Booty on XBLA, Defense Grid and W&G series on the PC. What does that leave me? Maybe South Park, but I'm not sure about that. I've never even heard of Mad Tracks, but I'm guessing it's lame.


Oh, anyone who need cheaper points, Amazon is selling their 4000 point card for $41.54, a savings of 17%.

South Park is definitely worth it.

For fans of South Park or as a stand-alone game? Because I haven't watched the show in a decade.

Eh, might get Schizoid. Not sure if I want another twin-stick shooter though.

As a two-person co-op game, I bet that one is a blast. It's hard as hell for single-player though. It might be worth picking up just because it does something different in an over-saturated genre. Not sure if there are any Schizoid clones on the Indie section yet.

Yes, it's an extremely well-done port. I like that game a lot. Totally worth $15. A no-brainer for $7.

bah, I was really hoping for Trials HD. Nothing else really interests me (already have SSFIIHD on PSN).
