No. I loved the DS remake though I think I am the only person that bought it. Definitely want the XBLA version.

Tecmo Bowl for xbla is listed as "spring" 2010. I too bought the DS version. It's just okay.

The Trials HD bonus pack, or whatever, is eating me for lunch. I was never "great" at this game, but these new levels are just brutal. Still, this game is really goddamn fun. This is my new go to to burn 10 to 15 minutes, while Defense Grid is my "I need to relax" game.

So this game, Space Ark, is coming out on XBLA soon.

It looks insane. Like Circus Atari meets Arkanoid meets Super Monkey Ball meets LSD.

Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week:

April 26: The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, 400 points
April 29: BioShock 2 Game Add-on: Rapture Metro, 800 points


Xbox LIVE Games on Demand:


April 27: Shrek the Third (All regions except Japan)

Xbox LIVE Arcade:

April 29: Tecmo Bowl, 800 points
April 28: Game Room :Super Breakout, Pitfall!, Megamania , Night Stalker , Rack ‘Em Up, Realsports Volleyball, Basketball.


Xbox Avatar Marketplace:

These are just a few of the collections scheduled for the Xbox LIVE Avatar Marketplace.

April 22: Saints Row 2
April 29: Diesel

Also, the following Xbox 360 Game Add-Ons are scheduled to be available:

April 22: Left 4 Dead 2 The Passing
April 28: Mega Man 10 Game Add-ons: Endless Attack mode, Special Stage 2 and Special Stage 3, 80 points each.
April 29: Just Cause 2 Game Add-on: Black Market Aerial Pack, 160 points
May 3: Zombie Apocalypse, 400 points

PLUS: On May 3rd, the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta will kick off. Everyone that has Halo 3: ODST will have access. You do have yours, right?
I'm going to go FAAAAAAAAAR out on a limb and say he flipped the BS2 add-on (under DotW) with Zombie Apocalypse (under Game Add-Ons). Dates seem right, at least.

I'll probably get ZA for 400 points. Night Stalker and Pitfall! in Game Room for sure, maybe Super Breakout.

Oh, also, Tecmo Bowl would be the 28th (a Wednesday) and Game Room the 29th (a Thursday, as already confirmed).

So classic Activision makes an appearance in the Game Room. If only I didn't own Activision Anthology...

I have no idea what Night Stalker or Rack 'Em Up are.

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
 
Night Stalker is Intellivision. I'm not going to bother to try to sell anyone on it, it's just going to be for me, nostalgia, and convenience of Game Room over using my old Intellivision CD-ROM or Xbox disc.

Seriously? People are clamoring for avatar gear for a poorly-received 18 month old game that's been in the clearance racks for ages?

Re: XBLA Thread Part 400 - Pinata's got a brown nose
 
Saints Row 2 wasn't poorly received, but I agree that the avatar gear is silly.

.

Oh, I missed that before. I was wondering why I hadn't heard of the Bioshock 2 DLC and wondering how much it was if it were on sale for 800.

ZA might be the first XBLA sale title I've bought in a year. It seems everything I want I tend to buy right away. This one I sort of liked, so it falls into that narrow area for me of pass at 800, buy at 400.

I have no idea what Night Stalker or Rack 'Em Up are.

I would assume Rack Em Up is probably an early Pool game, but I could be wrong. None of the seven really interest me all that much but Tecmo Bowl will get at least a demo download. I have my fingers crossed and 800 points is certainly awesome (I was honestly expecting 1200).

It's generally considered one of the better sandbox style games available :shrug:

That's awesome, how'd you get that?

Game had a patch this morning. Loaded it up, went into the campaign menu, and they unlocked. I have 200/200 in the game, but not perfect medals on everything so I'm not sure what the actual requirements are. There's the Kenny suit in M and F varieties and a Cartman cap. Nothing else. Mr. Hat prop would have been awesome!

Rumor has it Crazy Taxi is on its way to XBLA. I'm excited about this. I loved crazy taxi and maybe (just maybe) we'll see some more DC awesomeness (Chu Chu Rocket, I'm looking at you)

Megamania!

Megamania!!

I will most likely be buying that for nostalgia value alone. When i was a kid my parents and i played that game to death. I even took a picture of my high score screen, it was published in some magazine, and they sent me an official "Megamaniac" iron on patch. :lol:

It isn't like i'm a young pup. I'm in my 30s and we are talking about an old Atari 2600 game. :lol:

If it makes you feel any better before that we had a Pong machine!
