Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

This Limbo game is meh. It looks awesome in screenshots, but not knowing what to do or where to go simply because you can't see anything due to it being pitch black wears thin after about 2 minutes.

As I said, though, it looks really cool. It's just a pain to play. Not fun.

Anyone playing the Magic game? I asked elsewhere, but this seems the more appropriate thread. I downloaded the demo and am having fun with it. I played when I was 14/15 (back in 94/95) but not since then. Decided to give it a go.

Anyone play online? Any fun? I'm thinking it's a fun game, but it costs too much in real life. Might be fun to have a cheap digital version.

I tried the demo but I only played Magic a few times so I've never understood how to play the game. I'm waiting for the Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's Decade Duels to come out... it was supposed to be out in the Spring....

I dont know what size TV your playing on but Im having no trouble at all and the puzzles are not to difficult so far. Im a good bit in I think. Only thing that Im getting annoyed with is the spawning some times.

Couldnt get into Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh was my game.

This week is Hydro Thunder right?

I'm so ready to play some Hydro THUNDER!

BTW, Destination Arcade is sweet.

It must be a preview for the next dashboard update cause it makes no sense to have it as a separate application. I liked it when I first downloaded it but I keep forgetting that it's there.

Yeah, Major Nelson says it will only be available to download during the Arcade of Summer promotion. So it's clunky and slow, and the concept is implemented poorly, but it's pretty much a preview/beta.

Joystiq Review

Remember Yaris for Xbox Live Arcade? No? Good. It was undeniably the low point for downloadable racing games on Xbox 360. Finally XBLA gets something to wash the taste from your mouth for good: Hydro Thunder Hurricane. Upstart developer Vector Unit didn't actually start out making a Hydro Thunder title, but Microsoft liked what it saw, licensed the rights to HT and made the (what's turned out to be excellent) decision to resurrect the franchise.

That review made me giddy in a way I can't explain.

I absolutely LOVE this game... I grabbed it last night and two hours later (at 4 am) had to force myself to go to bed. I'm hooked...

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Finally got Risk Factions last night and it's great!

Stayed up til 1am unexpectedly cause I wanted to beat the campaign lol

Need to check out the maps and whatnot for custom game! I like the new elements (dam, crypt, etc), it ends up being more fun than the classic version...

Anyone pick this up yet? Looks cool, but I'm just wondering how the online base will be in a few weeks.

I was waiting to hear some impressions first. It seems like the type of game I would love, and one I would sink a lot of hours into. At the same time, I just got Madden yesterday and Reach is out in a month. I was really hoping Monday Night Combat would've been released in May or June, instead of now.
