Time Pilot and Scramble sound good to me. If Galaga got this much attention, imagine what some old games that are actually fun can do.

If we're stuck with endless old arcade games, I want Bosconian, Moon Patrol, and Rolling Thunder. Juno First! as well, of course, but not enough people remember that one.

I also want Gun 'n Smoke!

WTF is Gun 'n Smoke?

In order from most to least wanted, it's Scramble, Time Pilot, Pacman, Poker and Lumines bringing up the rear because that game is so overrated it wasn't funny a year ago

[*]06 September: Lumines Live

I love how the game was hyped as "the game of the summer" and yet it doesn't come out until Sept. MS needs to stop saying dates for games if they can't stick to them.

Summer doesn't end until late Sept.

Do you have any better ideas for Galaga or Pacman achievements?

Something Robotron-esque, like complete stage 1 in less than one minute, or make it to stage 10 without dying, or don't start shooting enemies on stage 1 and 2 until all of them have appeared. For Pacman, the last four pellets you eat have to be the power pellets, or something. Anything remotely challenging.

What Namco's doing (look at some bug/fruit that appears on this stage) is just a fancy way of saying "make it to this stage and you get an achievement."

Microsoft tends to keep it fairly close to the vest,

Screw you, Time Pilot rocks.

And isn't this the Lumines that has a bunch of s**t Top 40 music and where you have to pay to get the multiplayer portion?

I think multiplayer mode is included in the normal game. Almost postivite it is.

I have no idea how Time Pilot or Scramble play.

I'm really looking forward to Lumines. Texas Hold`em I could see myself getting, but it's not very likely.

[Opaque]

Lumines is too expensive.

I'm still going to buy it though.

So, has anyone heard anything about as to when Live Anywhere is going to begin? I'm dying to use my MDA as something more than my AIM/MSN/Google Talk/Yahoo! free-for-all.

Summer doesn't end until late Sept.

That's like saying the week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday.
