XBLA for week of 6/18

[demi]

Elements of Destruction

Reminds me of BLAST CORPS - I'm probably horrible wrong on this one, I thought it was pretty cool.


Sealife Safari

POKEMON SNAP XBLA! Very cool.

[cool breeze]

So avoid both of them and just play Pokemon Snap and Blast Corps.

[demi]

Shit I just looked at the achievemnts... Sealife Safari is looking to be bought. Holla. Get my snap on.

[AdmiralViscen]

I guess I better try em

So avoid both of them and just play Pokemon Snap and Blast Corps.

Take that back about pokemon snap.

[pilonv1]

Id buy elements of destruction for 400 points. For 800 it just seems shitty.

Will try the Sealife Safari after a high recommendation from demi

[Don Flamenco]

I guess being an achievement whore gets you to play games you wouldn't have tried otherwise, for better or for worse.

I don't care if they are HD if they look like a clearer version of shit to pick out more details.  Achievements suck.  And if this is another situation like with Poker Smash where people were saying it was like Tetris Attack, yet not nearly as good and with ugly aesthetics, I would just be better off sticking with the games I already own or could easily download and play upscaled on my PC.  I might check out the free demos, but that is still a lot of effort.

[Raban]

The actual Pokemon Snap is on XBLA? How is that possible? Isn't Pokemon like wholly Nintendo-owned?

I'm sorry $10 breaks your budget  :'( :'( :'( :'(

[cool breeze]

I would rather take the $10 I save on one of these games and buy an extra versions of Bionic Commando.

Elements of Destruction is actually not too bad.  Sealife Safari is boring.

[demi]

Sealife Safari is boring.

I said it was like Pokemon Snap, what did you think it would be?

good cause but i don't think the developers would want that.

just enjoy your gaming time.

Pokemon Snap is a lot more fun than the demo of Sealife Safari.  The aesthetics of Sealife Safari are also terrible.  In game it feels like shit designed for that horrible will smith fish movie and the Oak guy who judges your pictures looks like he was drawn by some poor guy in new york who drew comic sketches of wrinkled balls for free. 
 
I also tried out Roogoo or whatever it was called since I heard good things about it.  That was actually pretty fun.

[demi]

See now you got it twisted. Roogoo is crap.

[cool breeze]

It isn't bad.  I am assuming it gets really fast as it goes on and there could almost be a rhythm to it.  At least when I finished one level in the demo, all this shit started to poor down really fast and I had to move the things much faster.  If they took that pace and made it 3 times faster, it could be pretty entertaining.

[pilonv1]

The thing that worries me about Roogoo is that it will get stupidly hard later on. And I've had enough of the Match 3/4 coloured gem style games.

Something like Sealife Safari appeals to me because not everything needs to be difficult. Plus I bought Pokemon Snap on my Wii

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

It's been said thousands of times before but MS needs to get Rare working on a version of Blast Corps for XBLA.
