Except you have to spend upwards to $60 to even hit 1000

$3, or you can pay $5 to play it on both the PC and 360.

It's easier than having every single title have achievements.

Should just be 4 achievements.

250G = Pay us $10
250G = Pay us $20
250G = Pay us $40
250G = Pay us $60

Ah, they're subtle like that. When more games start to pour in, the chances of spending $60 increase. Hm...

apparently they plan to add 100s of arcade games to this games room thing. like if they add more modern games (like stuff from 1989+ at least) it will be a fucking winner. of course they can add more achievements too!  :o

Im interested in these "medals", Im assuming the games will have their own achievements which you earn medals for instead of gamerscore. Kinda makes sense to do it like that.

Only Atari and Intellivision were announced, maybe Konami, I'm not sure about that one. I just hope WB Games signs on so they can put the Midway back catalog on there, along with Sega, Namco, Taito, etc. etc.

I suspect someone has already done a cost-analysis of how much money they can make by putting the Midway games up vs. the legal costs of establishing where the publishing rights lay... and come up heavily in the negative column.

Actually, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment picked up most of the Midway IPs in the bankruptcy proceedings, not just Mortal Kombat. The exceptions were the licensed sports titles, for obvious reasons, and the Cruis'n trilogy, whose rights are actually owned by Nintendo. Trust me, I asked around, so I know.

I'm glad to know there's some respect for Midway's glorious (if sometimes dubious) contribution to gaming history.

So what was the big hullabaloo about the removed Midway titles from XBLA?

MS didnt put up enough servers, lol.

Do this-

1. Sign in
2. Load Game Room and press start.
3. When Loading hangs, press Guide, press X to sign out.
4. Remove network cable/usb for Wifi.
5. Sign in with profile.
6. Press Start and press B when it says you must be signed in XBL to use all features.
7. Room loaded, it asks you if you want to sign into XBL to get most of features (Note this is the second time its asked you). Attach Wifi/Network cable and wait till you get the green light (On Wifi).
8. Connect to Live.
9. Play.

I see what you mean now.

What was the point of making this place laid out like a 'real arcade' if you have to go into an abstract menu to buy one play session? They should let you place all of the arcade cabinets from the free game pack and let you rent/buy them right from the game environment.

You get tokens when a friend visits your arcade. I wonder if you could just keep swapping back and forth to get shittons of tokens, and then use those tokens to get free plays of games to earn medals/achievements without paying any money.

I'm pretty sure your friend has to play a game you own. Course, I cant test this theory out since nothing works. $50/yr and cant even get a server running

Some of it is crazy neat, like being able to rewind the mistakes you just made, and playing through them. The arcade coin-op machines are lovely; Tempest's sent me down nostalgia lane.

I tried to buy a game through the store, and it didn't register. Mashing on "BUY" "BUY" "BUY" but no effect. No XBL Purchase blade, no sound effect, nothing. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I spent 5 tokens to try Shao-Lin Road thinking I would get the achievmeent for playing someone else's cabinet.

I annihilated their score, and still had room to keep going. But the game shut down and booted me!

Ugh! I guess you really do have to own a cabinet in order to get achievements for them.

Speaking of, Shao-Lin Road is awesome. And Finalizer. I would buy those for sure.

lol Adventure was that much as well. I didnt know 2600 carts could hold so much!  ;) Im guessing that file size is actually the whole game pack, so mascots, games and stuff cant exist outside their game pack. I can see this being problematic as I only have a 20 gig HD. Road to Shaolin was apparently 65MB but popped straight away when I hit buy so yeah

getting gold medals does give you more 'medal points' though which you need to level up and unlock more shithouse knick-knacks for your arcade!

Im really happy with game room so far and it will just get better once the game lineup improves. It'd be great if they got some classic Capcom games up in that shit. Will lick somebodys ass for Captain Commando (or any freaking side scrollers). Seeing as Konami are on board maybe we'll see Simpsons?!

I would like more thorough customisations for your arcade though, like designing your own lewd wallpaper with crudely drawn tits and vag, giant dicks etc.

Good grief, I remember Gravitar being hard, but not this hard.  :-\

Apparently achievements like "get 6 medals" or "get two of a medal" require multiple game purchases. Getting a Bronze medal in a game and then getting a silver to replace it don't count as distinct medals. :lol

getting gold medals does give you more 'medal points' though which you need to level up and unlock more shithouse knick-knacks for your arcade!

Im really happy with game room so far and it will just get better once the game lineup improves. It'd be great if they got some classic Capcom games up in that shit.

I imagine if they are gonna release a beatemup, it will have its own release.

Sadly, you are right  :'( Seeing how Final Fight is coming to XBLA, probably for 800pts

Still, a man can dream about what may turn up on this service!

apparently the the next game pack is due out LATE APRIL

they shouldve waited until they had the damn content before putting Game Room out. This is a fail on some levels.

There hasnt been any add-ons since the launch of the thing.

I'd be buying if they put out more games! Ive already Gold Medal'ed the games I was interested in and bought. This is some fucking BS, if they made sure they had a steady stream of releases for the first couple of months more people would be on board and you'd have weekly customers. But no, they had to release Game Room with no back up. This is a major marketing fail. Game Room is just sitting there on my HD, like a rotten shit stain on my g-string

 :yuck Ew. I -so- didn't need that imagery, Scenester.

The initial packs were pretty good but, yeah, no follow up means no reason to go back. Marketing should have gone with 1 pack at launch, another halfway between launch and their EXPECTED next launch for the following pack. Just get people going back to the application for traffic.

News flash: marketing pukes do not understand gamers. Especially nostalgia-driven ones. Lame.

Scenester, next time you're on, let me pop the "visit friend's game room" 'cheev. Also let me know what games you have. I only have lunar lander.

You dont need your friend to be on to get that achievement. Just go in anyone's room and spend the 40 points to play a game

Didn't Nelson also announce this game pack 24 hours ago? Why pull the rug out from under it in the 11th hour?

With so many old games, it's possible someone asserted an ownership claim on one of them which needs to be resolved before sales can begin.

Thanks! I guess I've never found the menu selection for that.

OKay theres been a slew up Game Packs released now (we're up to #007), some really sweet crap on Game Room now.

EVERYONE BUY JAIL BREAK NOW. Its really hard but its such a badass shooter. I played it hard last night and am ranked like 26th currently. I can definitely improve my score so will work on getting into the top 10 tonight.

They need to start putting more recent stuff up.
