Title: Xbox Live Arcade - I'm sorry I ever made fun of you
Post by: The Fake Shemp on January 17, 2008, 01:22:30 AM
I'm getting opportunities to play games I've never played before (I got a massive amount of points) - like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Puzzle Fighter and Puzzle Quest.  Plus, after playing Carcassone and Omega Five, I take back calling it a gimmick.  XBL Arcade has better releases some months than the 360 lineup!

At Hastings, they're selling 4000 Point cards for $37.50. I'm thinking about buying one or two and then going to town.

I probably would have drop kicked my 360 by now if it weren't for XBLA!
Settlers for the mother fucking excellent time.
Puzzle Quest would be great if anyone actually played it online.

I think XBLA is great. I'm not too impressed with the most of rest of the 360 library since I have a good gaming PC and prefer to game on that, but XBLA is great fun and pretty well implemented.

Lord knows I've bitched up and down about how awful XBLA was during it's first year and a half but I gotta admit that it's really come along.  I still think there's room for improvement (how 'bout some more freakin' board games like Catan?) and I'd like to see even more than 2 games released a week, but at least now the quality has improved dramatically.

Kinda OT here, but one thing I noticed is that I was pretty much free to bitch and moan all I wanted about XBLM and XBLA over at GAF (I think I was forever a thorn in arne's ass), however if I say one negative thing about PSN I'll get a group of distinguished mentally-challenged fellows on my back.  I even get PM's wishing me to die.  Jesus, it's really fucking crazy.

Sony fans have become bat shit insane this last year or so. I they feel like they have to protect the fucking hive even though they probably know it isn't worth it.

I wonder if the mods at GAF would do anything if you PM'ed them about the death threats.

Well, you just bought both systems, so you're kinda excused. Although, I went on a XBLA buying rampage pretty much immediately after my 360 purchaser.

What T234 said is true, though.

At one time I actually considered getting a credit card just to replace my 360 that had a fried ethernet port (but the rest of it worked fine) just so I could download Mutant Storm Empire.

How much are XBLA games?

Post by: CajoleJuice on January 17, 2008, 01:06:03 PM
The vast majority are $5 or $10 (400 or 800 points). Marble Blast Ultra is $5. Puzzle Quest is $15, but it was released as a full game on the DS. It's more than worth the $15. Can one of you guys let me beat you in PQ so I can get the achievement? It's the only one I need.

I have never beaten the final stage. It has haunted my nightmares for almost a year now.

EDIT: There for a time, I dreamed about falling off the skinny ledges onto the last jewel, only to land out of bounds and have to restart the stage all over again.

The Wii doesn't save your CC number, which can be a pain inputing your CC number everytime you purchase a game.  The 360 does.  Only the four digits of your CC number appear, as per standard vendor policy regarding cc numbers.  But your info is saved.  If you are paranoid about things like that just buy the points cards.

Yesterday, I bought Omega Five, Castlevania: SOTN, Puzzle Quest and Puzzle Fighter.  I've got the basic free crap like Hexic, Uno and Aegis Wing.  I spent a lot of time playing Pac-Man CE and Carcassone when those came out.  TMNT Arcade was also worth playing co-op with my brother.  Worst purchase so far was Street Fighter II.

Marble Blast Ultra
Castlevania
Puzzle Fighter
Geometry Wars
Streets of Rage II is also fun (and better than TMNT Arcade)

Figured that'd be the solution, I tried grappling him a few times but it would let go. Was I pressing RT instinctively to retract or does it pop off if you move too far away?

Both, I think. If you press RT again it retracts, but I think if you get too far away it comes loose too.

The stage designs get a LOT better. I was nervous too, but trust me, the full game is amazing.

I like the game a lot. The single-player is decent enough for $5, and then you have the awesome online multi.

Be sure to post impressions.

Keep this in mind: the demo's stages are the most basic ones of their respective tiers.

We gotta play some Marble Blast Ultra up this weekend, gentlemen (and any other games you might be interested in)! Maybe some Worms, Carcassone, etc?

Hellz yeah corny. Most of my XBLA experience is pre-this-past-summer, and I've never played most of my XBLA games online.
