I heard a rumor that some people have different opinions, any truth to that Revoltor?
Being a hater is much more fun though :\
You should talk to Joust about that.
I was playing this with some friends yesterday and it's totally fun.
Small Arms is fucking garbage, uninspired garbage at that.
Bitch shut your mouth.
Small Arms is awesome for the price. It's frantic chaos which perfectly sets up choice trash talking.
Small Arms was all right. I liked two of the levels which were stationary, but not as much fun on the train with the threesome trying to leave me behind.
I wish they'd post RoboBlitz, already. And possibly announce what will be on the next volume of "Unplugged" so I can pick up the other games.
So apparently I have 100 Gamer Points from LttP. Sadly, g0zen has none.

Anyone have any idea why that showed up how it did?
Good thing I didn't buy it.
I don't buy trash, unless you count Dig Dug.
LOL, what?Quote:

I gave Small Arms a quick try last night and liked what I saw.
I DLed the trial and was unimpressed. It tries to be SSB too hard and just wasn't fun for me. Granted, if you have a group with whom to play, it might be better, but it's just not my taste. I'll grab UMK3 instead.

There is no prize like a surprise!
so when are we getting track n field and symphony of the night?
Isnt Super C suppose to come out sometime too? I'm so playing through Symphony of the Night in HD. Cant get that on the PS3's emulator. SoTN is still my favorite PSone game.
My guess is Zelda.Quote:

I swear some people at Microsoft are having a contest to see who can come up with the lamest XBLA releases. What's this weeks release?
A goddamn update to Texas Hold'em!
Ugh. (The game does need a fixing, though.)Quote:
According to a fantabulous press release, your gambling hopes and prayers have been answered:
This week on Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays, we offer a full-featured update to one of the most popular titles on the service – Texas Hold ‘em.
Thank you Microsoft. You just saved me money by not having me buy a game I might have wanted this Wednesday. So, Nintendo, still have F-Zero for download?Quote:

You noobs should have been around when Texas Hold 'Em was free to download.
The fuck, when was that(hd) announced?Quote:

James
Yeah, I still don't think that is coming.
SOTN should come, dammit, but even if it does it won't until MS releases the larger memory cards.
Regardless, I don't give a shit about Texas Hold 'Em. Something better please.
DOUBLE DRAGON W/ CO-OP COMING TO XBLA

Now Xbox Live Arcade just needs The Simpsons, X-Men, and Turtles in Time (hell, I'd settle for the original Turtles Arcade), and it would own everything.
At the rate MS is going, you'll be buying it for the Xbox 720.Quote:

Remember that MadCatz Live Arcade Joystick? Well it turns out that it has a spinner built in. They best be building in compatibility with Tempest, Warlords, Space Giraffe, etc.
Check it out, around the analog stick:

I did accidently play DoA4 with the stock X360 pad last night though, that was a lolocaust. The thought of even playing a real fighter on that thing makes me dry heave.
Wheres the new Arcade game today???
No game...
...but there is a TEXAS HOLD 'EM PATCH!

Ah, another Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday eve. I'm surpirsed there are no rumblings on here as to what tomorrow's game of the day is.
As a side note (and sorry if this is going into "off topic" waters), but anyone else disappointed by Virtual Console in comparison to Xbox Live Arcade? It's pretty sad when Dig Dug with a score board is giving Mario 64 a run for my play time because it's just so much fun to play.
Back on topic, just checked out Wikipedia and see that it's reporting Roboblitz as the game for tomorrow. Awesome!
VC sucks.
This week's game is Roboblitz, BTW.
Pretty broad statement, but I'm starting to think the same. If they optimized the games some it would be a different story, but when Mario 64 controls like shit with the Classic Controller and is borderline passable with the GCN pad (Did it always feel impossible to turn around in Mario 64 without running in a circle? I never remember that being a problem when playing on the N64... and I just played it there a year and a half ago or so!) it makes you look at games on Xbox Live Arcade and be thankful that Microsoft just isn't shoving ROMs onto Market Place and however it works, it works.Quote:

$15 + "imprecise" controls = fuck that. Maybe I'll try the demo, first.
I was excited about Roboblitz, but at 15 bucks it better have a fucking incredible demo.
I think I'll wait until Roboblitz goes to an Unplugged volume. The funky controls are just not worth the price they want.
The controls do feel a bit weird.
You might be the only one that bought it, Mr. #1. ;)Quote:

Castlevania isn't coming to Live Arcade. I did get the new DS game, though, and its shiny presell box of goodies. :)Quote:

Disc. Basically, you put the disc in and when you go to the Live Arcade menu, they show up on the list. So, you should buy the games if you have Live.
Ah shit. Well, it makes sense I guess since people could just acquire the game, DL it to their harddrives and then pass it on. I found a really good deal on it is all but I'll just pass on it and any other future volumes.
Is there a way to take something off your gamertag? I want to erase all traces of Hexic from my life. It also doesn't help that the shitty Mutant Storm demo makes it seem like I have Mutant Storm and 0 points in it.
I want those blemishes gone from my record =*(
Stop being gay.
Robo Blitz isn't half as bad as some of you make it out to be. The controls aren't that funky, and the levels are actually pretty cool. There are some decent puzzles and the whole weapon upgrade system works really well. Considering that it's an original game, it's not a bad purchase.
LOL though at people complaining about only 20 year-old games being released and then bitching about this. Give it a chance; it's fun.
1200 points = Pass for Nash.
Yeah, it's really dumb how any XBLA game demo will add itself to your games list, and there's no way to take them off if you end up not buying the full game.Quote:

Roboblitz is pretty good. Not my kind of game though.
When I first downloaded Roboblitz I really didn't like it, but to be honest I gave it all of five minutes.
After sitting down with it and going through the whole trial version, getting the weapons and doing some puzzles, I'm almost sad it's 15 dollars, because any cheaper and I'd pick it up without a second thought.
Mutant Storm is awesome. Hang your head in shame.Quote:

Better than Gamestop's used price? I already have it, just curious. Eventually I'm going to loan my copy out to my brother so he can play the games he hasn't bought yet but if it's cheap enough he may go for it on his own.Quote:

I played it once, hated it, deleted it off my hard drive (and can never get it again, which is no sweat off my sack) but I got like 5 achievements the one time I played. I'd rather it just not be on the list at all. I don't own it, I'll never be able to get all the achievements, I just don't want it there.Quote:

Seriously. Hexic is an awesome puzzle game with a surprising amount of depth to it. I don't get how anyone could hate it so much after playing it once that they'd delete if off their HD.Quote:

Seriously, for $15, this is a great game. The controls are a little weird at first, but your robot is really quite weak and is supposed to be vulnerable. Once you get the double jump, flip spin, and tractor beam upgrades, the game becomes quite easy to control. The only real issue I had with the gameplay was the (surprise!) camera. It's cool how it zooms in to an almost 1st person view when you're stuck in a confined space, but it can flip around a bit too much sometimes. It never comes close to making the game unplayable or even frustrating though.
Based on the 15+ hours I've put into it, I can honestly say that this was a great purchase. Give it a chance and you'll see that it's a wonderful addition to the XBLA library and well worth the cost.
Assault Heroes is coming.
