TopGunKnacker Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 is the the 360 dpad not a little out of the way to be comfortable? this game does look fooking awesome. theyre really keeping to the original, from the 3 frame background animations to the fact that ryu and ken are a palette swap with a different face. fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placement wise i find it fine, the problem with the standard DPad is its tendancey to recognise the up, down, left and rights of this world as diagonals due to its crappy circular nature. Apparently the HORI pad is more tuned in with its sunken cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Marble Blast Ultra I would like to issue a challenge: To anyone who gets this game for free (via that deal Ed found) or buys it anyway, or has already bought it - if you can get all the achievements (or more specifically, the 3 that involve finishing each mode under the par times) then you're a better human being than I, as this game has me beat. Brilliant value for money and I haven't touched the multiplayer mode (I'm guessing it would be pretty empty anyhow) but by Christ it's tough. I've got the easiest mode done, the normal one mostly done but fucked if I can get the times for the hard mode. I can't even finish the last level at all, let alone do it under a certain time!

retroed Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I've played the demo and had a good time with it. With any luck I'll have the full game soon! As for this weeks XBLA titles; Switchball and Word Puzzle, 800 points each. Switchball looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I might have to plop some more money into my account. Now that I've finished Marble Blast it looks like Switchball could replace it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a lot of highs and lows during Xbox Live Arcade's lifespan (like Geometry Wars versus say... Street Fighter turning out to be rubbish) but next week the download service will finally make it to the two year milestone.In a double-whammy of milestones XBLA is also set to receive its 100th game during the same week period, so you'd expect Microsoft is planning to celebrate with a pretty decent release next week, eh? Well, that's exactly what our mate internet rumours is saying... Xblarcade.com is the first site to quote "sources inside Microsoft," claiming that the company is well aware of the upcoming milestones and is planning something "huge" to celebrate. "If everything goes well," says the site, "next week we will be playing the 'true' sequel to the biggest XBLA title to date." So they're blatantly hinting at a new Geometry Wars sequel then. We've been on to our own sources and we too have heard rummagings of a new XBLA-only Geometry Wars, but then again after the success of the last one it's an absolute no-brainer that Bizarre Creations is developing a follow-up. Whether or not its coming out next week though, is anyone's guess. Microsoft expectedly refused to comment on this particular rumour, but did note that Xtival, the free Xbox Live weekend, is planned for next week. We'll let you know if we hear anything else. Getting excited? Feeling overwhelmed? Here's where the fireworks fizzle rather than bang. Major Nelson wrote.... Xbox LIVE Arcade celebrates 100 Arcade titles with Screwjumper. And since we don’t have cake to celebrate, you can also get your green on with Shrek N Roll.Both titles will be available this Wednesday for 800 points each. Yowser. Break out the best fizzy pop you have, I'm ready to party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Free XBLA Game for everyone! To mark the fifth anniversary of the Xbox Live service, Microsoft will be offering Carcassonne (Hexic 2 in Korea) free to all subscribers for 48 hours starting at 12:01 a.m. EST on Nov. 15th (and presumably nothing to the peeps who already plunked down for the virtual board game), along with 500 Microsoft Points to the ten folks who've been on board since 2002 -- see kids, early adoption does pay off!

Hendo Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Ooh nice, I have a hankering to play a board game online (I miss the Ludo days ) but I bought Catan and don't understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Amongst the other things in tomorrow's big 360 update (which you can read about here), there's some good news about Live Arcade games. Xbox Live Arcade Hits: On Xbox Live Arcade, the Arcade Hits program kicks off where some of the best selling Xbox Live Arcade games will become available at permanently reduced prices, making it easier than ever for everyone to build a library of downloadable games! The first games to become Arcade Hits will be Bankshot Billiards 2 and Lumines Live, which will be available for 800 Microsoft Points each, and Marble Blast Ultra, Small Arms and Zuma Deluxe, which will be available for 400 Microsoft Points each. Looks like those one-off experiments a few week's back worked quite well. And for 400 points everyone should buy Marble Blast Ultra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Bought Castlevania SOTN and Streets of Rage 2 last night. I feel a bit stupid for getting SOR2 again, its probably only been a month since i last completed it, and I cant see me playing it in multiplayer that often. Anyway I've still got enough points left for Sensi tomorrow, which again I've already got, but it should be worth it for multi. The 360 dpad is shit though, amongst the worst I've ever used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Thats cool man, I need a live buddy for SOR2. And ive just spent a hellamount of time with Castlevania Symphony of the Night, i think this might be my favorite Castlevania game. And yea, 360 DPad is fucking shite, get a Hori.
