Xbox Live vol. 2

[Melf]

From IGN:

April 29, 2003 - When Xbox Live launched in November, it included two online demos: MotoGP and Whacked!. Six months later, Xbox Live is still standing, but the pack-in games have grown a bit stale. That's why Microsoft is releasing Xbox Live Vol. 2 today.

Live 2 doesn't feature any software upgrades, but does include two new games. A demo of MotoGP is still packed in (with the sequel is set to ship in late May) but the new Live package will include a demo of MechAssault and a complete, online version of Tetris Worlds.

Those who already own Xbox Live can buy full retail versions and want to play Tetris online, will still have their chance, as a full retail version is set to ship in early June.

This takes today's "meh" award. Why a demo of MotoGP 1 when the sequel ships a month before? Mech Assault is old news and Tetris? Umm...no thanks.

Conveniently, no word on pricing. I hope it stays the same.

Tetris is good.

No way. It will stay the same for new subscribers. People who MS feels are already "hooked" are going to get bent over. Wait and see.

Tetris is good, but hardly compelling me to buy a Live package when I could just as easily play it on my Game Boy (if I had one, mind you) for less cost and even on my original Game Boy, for that matter.

Penny Arcade claims that it'll be 50 for 12 months.

The negativity in any Xbox related thread comes from the same fanboys time and time again.

I guess I should stop being surprised.

Tetris Worlds is one of the ugliest puzzle games I've seen, it mocks the 128 bit consoles. That would be fine and dandy if it actually played well but it doesn't. *-neo
