• Flock! - April 8th
• Dishwasher - April 8th
• OutRun Online Arcade - April 15th

Glad to see Lode Runner made the list. One of my favorite classic platformers.

I think it's better than pitfall.

$70? For board games? HAHAHA. I can find all 7 of these for $15 combined.

EA really knows how to drop the ball on this stuff. Monopoly should have been a XBLA game, rather than a $40 retail game with no online multiplayer.

Scrabble is well worth the 800 microsoft points. Who says you have to buy all of them?

I dont know where to put this but the 12-month Live card is only 29.99 at K-Mart this week, the sale ends tomorrow though. If they dont have it they can give you a rain check so even though it ends tomorrow you can get a rain check and pick it up down the road at the sale price anyways. Just a heads up for anyone that might be looking to pick up a years worth of Live at a discount.

EA's retail collection of these games costs $40 on the wii and $20 on the ps2...even comes with 3 games not released on XBLA yet. But for some reason, it'll cost $70 to get that on the 360. Maybe I am the only one that thinks that's a rip off.

It's just a little annoying seeing how EA is just using the Hasbro license to grab cash. They also just gave Trivial Pursuit their Monopoly treatment, meaning $40 with no online multiplayer.

It all comes down to the key omission of Scrabble on both the PS 2 and Wii versions and the fact I can get an excellent Scrabble game for $10. I'll wait for Boggle and end up spending $20 for two quality word games. So I'm spending 1/3 the amount I'd spend on the great Madden games of the past few years. No, I don't think that's a rip off. The bottom line is anybody's willingness to pay money for games like Battleship, Yahtzee, or Connect Four. You'd have to pay me money to play these games. What would piss me off is EA making us pay $59.99 for all of these games.

Max Payne and The Fall of Max Payne have been rated for Xbox 360 by the ERSB. Most assuredly both games will be downloadable releases in the Xbox Live Marketplace releases.

The first Max Payne debuted way back in 2001 on PC and later was released for Xbox and PS2 consoles.

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne was released in October of 2003 for PC, PS2 and Xbox.

Note: The games may arrive as Xbox Originals, but the fact that they're multi-platform (like Duke Nukem and Doom) makes it unclear. They could well be slightly updated (achievements and such) and end up in the Arcade.

The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai hits this Wednesday

This week's downloadable addition to the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade will be James Silva's The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, publisher Microsoft has revealed

Boasting both online and offline two-person cooperative multiplayer, the stylish 2D action game hits on Wednesday, April 1, at 800 Microsoft Points ($10). For the initiated, the game puts players in control of "an undead samurai dishwasher." Yes, really.

The unique title, which won Microsoft's 2007 Dream-Build-Play content, also boasts support for a "guitar peripheral," enabling players to "unload electric death by playing wicked solos, perform basic movement, and use the guitar's motion control to rip through enemies with a razor-sharp headstock."

This weeks Deal: Alien Hominid HD

This weeks Deal of the Week is now available. For the next week, Xbox LIVE Gold Member can grab Alien Hominid HD for 400 points. Normally priced 800 points, Gold members will save 50% this week.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Got a question that hopefully someone can help me with. Got the game Braid a week ago.
Played the first 3 levels and then quit and returned to arcade on my xbox. A couple days later I go back to continue and I have to start from the begining. Also when I press start, there is an option to unlock full game.(thought I already had the full game?)
I deleted braid and redownloaded the game to see if that would fix the problem but no luck. Really liking this game but about to give up on it...anyone have any advice?

This is one game that's worth buying and installing on the PC. A much better experience.
