Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Kind of pissed some people off who had auto renew off and after the update it switched it back on. I went back in to turn mine off again but alot of people got charged and didnt even realize it turned back on.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Two new free games:

Harms Way - A fast paced, action packed race where both drivers and snipers need to team up to win the race. As the sniper, you need to blow-up the competition. As a driver you need to finish 3 laps first.

Doritos Crash Course - A fast-paced, funny, obstacle course game show for your Avatar to compete against your friends and family over XboxLive. Play through 15 exciting platformer levels across 3 different countries. Compete against your friends and family up to four players over XboxLive and local split-screen.

They need to release Marvel Pinball ASAP.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Crash Course isn't terrible. I actually found myself getting into the game.

Is it an easy 200 points like the last Doritos game?

[The GIGGAS]

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Harms' Way is. Crash Course, especially the Japan levels, is TOUGH.

[ExtremeGamer]

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Harm's Way is ridiculously easy, got all 200/200 in about 10 minutes.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Quake Arena is finally hitting XBLA!

link: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...next-week.aspx

it's about time. I thought this thing had been canceled.

edit: it will cost 800 MS points.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

Harm's Way is a blast but there's like no one playing it on XBL. Tried about a dozen times today and it kept saying no games were found.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

WOW, where have I been living, I was just going through the market place on my 360 and I never knew there were Movies I can buy or watch that just came to Blu-Ray, this is using the Zune movies. I have Netflix and FM radio, but I never really looked at the market place like that, this was flew over my head. I'm kinda excited, because like I said I never knew about the Zune Movies or music, I'm even thinking of buying a zune pass.

Re: Xbox Live Marketplace and Live Arcade discussion Part III

so I decided to get Quake Arena, and it's a pretty good port. I would say anybody who enjoyed Q3A and likes shooters on XBL would like Quake Arena. There is one negative, and that is the lack of host migration. Whenever the host quits it's game over, which can be pretty annoying especially if it's near the end of the game. Aside from that, I like the game.

Also, the demo includes 60 minutes worth of online multiplayer so you can see for yourself if you like it or not.
