It's ok, Smurph is ahead of me. :(

I'm struggling to get the hardcore acheivements on it as well.

I'll send both of you my demo account later.

Jimbo - making a new American acount is a piece of piss, you just need a random American address, a different hotmail email to the one you use now, a made-up phone number and you're away!

Some demos are up early on the American one but I'm mostly using it to keep the demos off my profile (cos I'm that sad).

Looks like I'll be getting Sonic 2 tonight then - if you fancy a run through, let me know. :)

Not that anyone probably cares, but there's some new content for Bomberman Live.

Hudson has blown up plans for new Bomberman Live! content, which will be available next Wednesday for 250 points (GBP 2.13 / EUR 3).

Inside the ticking box of goodies will be 10 new characters, such as Bomberella the cavewoman and El Bombito the matador, as well as two new levels – the magical Medieval Times and racetrack Full Tilt.

There's also a new Bomb Shelters game mode that lets you hide from explosions in little fireproof huts, plus a pair of fresh leaderboards to track how long you take getting round the Full Tilt map.

EDIT

Whoops, I missed news of this week's new XBLA game.

Microsoft has revealed this week's Xbox Live Arcade release, Eidos's weird and psychedelic co-op entry Geon: Emotions, which is available from this morning.

We still haven't got a clue what it's all about, but according to Microsoft's blurb Geon offers "intense multiplayer head-to-head and co-op team action, razor sharp visuals and a pounding soundtrack."

We suppose we'll let it surprise us when it finally finished downloading.

Ah illdog, how lovely it is to see your presence again.....

Ive only downloaded bomberman and worms so far....the xbox live games are expensive, I like the prospect of buying games that I played on old consoles, and the Wii is the place for that.

Having said that Puzzlequest on the arcade is great, i only wish id not have played it first time round.

In all fairness mate, it wasn't that long ago that I finished it really, and like Animal Crossing, I need a bigger break from a game like that.

Plus, I always had the feeling that I was flying by the seat of my pants when I won a match so online multi would be fairly one-sided.

I'll certainly be having a look at the demo though.

For a handy reference, here's what the points translate as:

400 points - £3.40 / €4.65 / $5.00 (U.S. dollars)/ $6.40 (canadian dollars)

800 points - £6.80 / €9.30 / $10.00 / $12.79

1200 points - £10.20 / €13.96 / $14.99 / $19.19

So for 100 points it's 85p.

This Wednesday, "Every Extend Extra Extreme" and "Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe" hit Xbox LIVE Arcade. Both games are 800 points.

w00t, I'll be getting Speedball 2. I won't be using the 3D option, though. Hell no.

Oh, and other news I saw on rllmuk forum (no source)

Also Lumines Live is dropping to only 800points. The new Holiday pack will be 400points and the Heavenly Star and Breeze skins will once again be free for Gold users.
