Zeno Clash is actually really well done in my opinion. It's super weird, but everyone should at least give the demo a spin. Love it or hate it, it's at least a unique game.

I didn't like it, but honestly understand why people do. Very unique game and I think it was made by a very small team. Worth a demo download at least. Wasn't my cup of tea, but neither is Halo so what do I know.

Would you say more or less obnoxious than calling us all shit flinging monkeys that should play Baby Maker Extreme and post about it on 4chan?

Seriously, go back and reread the posts. I'm not sure what you have been reading but here is what actually transpired:

- A half dozen people crack wise about the title
- you get pissed off (for some unknown reason) and equate us to playing "Baby Maker Extreme."
- Cue a couple more general jokes about the title, keep in mind, not directed at you or the game itself
- again you take it as a personal affront for whatever reason
- I called you on it for being so defensive.
- you proceed to call us all shit flinging monkeys scared of Japanese

Not a single post making fun of the game or *gasp* you. Sure I tossed out the Indie Cred thing, but like it or not, that's your 'thing' 'round these parts. GatorDeb is the spender, Scott asks 10k questions that could be answered by reading a manual, Shagrath is the RB guy cheating on us with another forum and I'm the Burnout Paradise hater. We all have a 'thing' here. There's nothing wrong with that. Chess mocks me all the time for it. It's all in good fun.

No harm was intended.

I'm still around here. I'm just way more active elsewhere because there's people posting in that thread. Unlike here, where there can be days without posts. I F5 this forum almost as much as I F5 the thread over there.

I wasn't joking about liking Baby Maker Extreme. It's a real Xbox Indie Game, it's $1, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Looks pretty badass. I assume this will be a Summer of Arcade title. Currently priced at $15.

Seems cool. Not using Lara in a baby maker extreme title seems a missed opportunity though.

Slug, gear. Take your pick and be disappointed only 50%* of the time.


*Actual disappoint amount may vary depending on satisfaction of actual title.

Here's a post I just made over at x360a entitled "May 26th Titles" about the new Game Room Pack 004:


So, I did what I mentioned last week and put GP004 on a USB stick and went searching for clues to what is actually included. Here are all the titles:

Asteroids
Boxing
Buzz Bombers
Demons to Diamonds
Grand Prix
Haunted House
Millipede
River Raid
Shark! Shark!
Space Duel
Spider Fighter
Stampede
Strategy X
Time Pilot

Removing the 5/19 titles that leaves:

Boxing
Buzz Bombers
Haunted House
Millipede
River Raid
Spider Fighter
Strategy X

Enjoy the news!

Cloning Clyde is now 400 points (was 800)
:banana:

I've been waiting for a price drop on this old-ass game ever since I played it years ago at a buddy's house and got a couple of achievements on it, putting it on my gamercard forever. Now I can finally just buy the damn thing and finish it off.

Hmm, maybe I'll get Cloning Clyde.

So did anyone check out Aqua yet? I didn't get a chance to demo it this morning, but that video looked promising enough.

There was rumored to be a NinjaBee compilation disc coming out last fall, but it never materialized. Maybe they're waiting to put it out until they finish up A World of Keflings and Ancients of Ooga later this year.

I was gonna wait for the compilation disc but I'm not too interested in any of the other games, so I guess I'll go ahead and pick up Clyde by itself.

Hey, Decker, don't look 4 posts above yours if you want to be spoiled for next week's releases ;)

Are they still doing Thrifty Tuesday or Thursday or whichever day it is? Or was that just to spur on Trials HD sales?

Cloning Clyde for http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76...ints_12_12.png400 is a no brainer, IMO.

The aesthetic of aqua looks interesting. I'm a sucker for ocean/water based games.

Me too. I tried it this morning and bought it right away. Yeah, it's just another twin-stick shooter, but it looks so nice and has enough new twists (maneuvering on water, support boats you to escort you) that it makes it feel different. They also give you a really sweet Avatar costume reward right away and that was enough to seal the deal for me. I hope to play more this evening (something I can actually play while the kids are awake, unlike RDR).

I loved the demo. If I didn't have such a backlog I would have bought it on the spot.

Metal Slug XX on the other hand was a joke. 1200 points for that when you can buy a whole Metal Slug anthology disc for $15 is crazy.
