Back on topic, for those interested, there is a demo of Table Tennis on Live. Graphics are great, but I can see it getting real old real fast.

The single player gets old after obtaining enough unlockables. However, the online play is gold with very smooth play and fully customizable matches. A very good pick-up-and-play game.

Galaga: The popular space shooter, first released back in 1981, comes packed with multiplayer modes and enhanced graphics.



I didn't see any enhanced graphics. Are there any multiplayer modes?

I rented FN3 tonight and I have a question about the achievements: if I just roll through career mode will I eventually find my way into all the different kinds of fights I need to?

The graphics are enhanced for Galaga because they are higher resolution than the original. I mean, it might not look like a whole lot, but they are technically enhanced. All XBLA games have to adhere to some resolution standards.

It would've been bad ass if they could've took some pointers from Geometry Wars and gave us the original and a new up dated one instead of just the arcade version which comes with the Namco collection.

Eh, its only 400 points and I knew what to expect. Its friggin old ass Galaga for shits sake.

Saints Row seems actually pretty cool. I knew it was a GTA clone but its rips off EVERYTHING from GTA. I may get it if the missions are nice and varied. It almost seems like it could be GTA 4.

Judging by the demo, it takes a huge freakin piss on GTA. The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay feels solid ( I really like how easy it is to switch to any weapon rather than having to go through them all till the one you want), and the AI seems to be at least somewhat smarter than anything GTA had to offer.

I don't see it being better than GTA4, although who knows what GTA4 will be like, but for what it is, it is a very nice place holder for the year or more we have to wait for GTA4.

There is a hidden gotcha with the Table Tennis demo: it will no longer work come September 1st. From Major Nelson:

Hey, I forgot to post that this is a limited time demo. (sorry about that) That means that you can only download it and play it until the end of August. [empahsis his] After that…the title will not work, even if you have already downloaded it! So get it and play it while it lasts !

[AaronChance]

I played it for five minutes and that was more than enough for me. I don't care what online is like, the game is not for me.

I have decided that I like the Xbox 360. I very much approve of wireless controllers (that rumble, SCREW YOU SONY), downloadable demos, and Xbox Live Arcade.

Welcome home, imo.
