My codes are coming up as invalid. Somehow I don't think this is good. Anyone else had a problem?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. My printer cut off a Q.

Put an hour into ITSP. It's very good so far. It's like metroid + a twin-stick shooter. The art and atmosphere are fantastic, though I new that from the trailers already :) The controls are very tight and seem to take full advantage of the analog control. Selection menus use wheels but you can map abilities to the face buttons. There are lots of checkpoints, almost too many. But I'm sure I'll appreciate them if (when) it gets more difficult. 60 FPS.

More impressions tomorrow.

fucking A! ITSP is currently downloading. glad they didn't fix this (i suspect it may be intentional) before i grabbed it. ITSP was my most anticipated release of the summer of arcade. bastion has stolen my heart though so we will see. summer of arcade is now pretty much over for me. next xbla release i am looking forward to is bloodrayne.

I have a maw code for the first person that shoots me a pm. was going to give it to wario but i see binary hooked him up. so, pm me if anyone wants it.

Only 1 person here claimed it was downloading, but I'm not sure if that was prematurely posted before attempting the download. Everyone else couldn't redeem the code

I'm still really early into ITSP, but damn, it's made one hell of a first impression on me. It's been absolutely stunning in every regard so far. Watch out for this one...

The Maw is super tiny compared to most XBLA games these days (it's only 120MB or something like that???) which is very relieving because since it's Twisted Pixel I wouldn't have been surprised to see it pop up as 1GB

I heard from my friend at work that it's very good, I think he described it as having a N64 game feel...which may or may not make sense to you but it does to me

It is good indeed. I played the demo years back but never got around to buying it and it slipped off my mind. TP is pure quality even though that was their first game I believe.

Do you have to buy all your SoA games through the dash to get the bonus Crimson Alliance in September? I'd like to get a free Maw by getting one of the games on the MS Store but I also want my bonus Crimson Alliance dangit!

Edit: Hmmm, the fine print makes it seem like you have to buy all five games through XBLA, and the Maw fine print says it can't be combined with other promotions. Hmmmmm.

Well, the MS Store says:

Limit one (1) gift per person. To qualify for your gift, you must purchase all 5 games from Xbox LIVE Arcade using your Xbox LIVE account by August 23, 2011, 11:59 EST.

Offer provided by: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052.​

So it seems they just check for who has each (full) game redeemed on their Purchase History.

EDIT:
Yep, weird wording.
The info says you have to buy the using your Xbox Live account..which technically you use when buying the game on their Store. So...guess you'll have to ask them directly.

Yeah, it is kind of weird...I may just hold off to be safe (though if any kind soul has an extry Maw code they don't care for, I'd be thankful!).

Bought From Dust and ITSP, thanks for the heads up. Been really looking forward to 'em, being able to play them early is fantastic.

Oh wow, this is crazy. I'm still playing Bastion so I'll wait on INTSP. Is an official thread going up for it soon?

How'd you like it?

Seems like I'm blowing through it, currently at about 55 percent campaign completion. It's very much like a Metroid game, so that's fine by me.

So far I think I'd recommend it, especially for people who are in to Metroid and Castlevania. The puzzles do not seem to be very difficult at all, and I've yet to come to a part where I did not immediately understand what I needed to do. There's a neat scanning mechanic that allows you to mark obstacles to come back to later with the right item to get through, so that streamlines some of the exploration.

I'll be honest, gaf, if you have a good pc wait for from dust to release on steam. The game is very fun, but it has this ugly sub hd look. If you're the patient type it will be worth it, but please pick up the game on Xbox or pc. We need more games like this.

Does anyone know how the analog flow rate is implemented in the PC version?

It really is incredible. I'm stuck at the large drill part though with the glowing blue rocks. Can anyone who is playing this give me a hint on how to get past this?

ITSP is even better than I expected. it is down right beautiful in action. feels so good too. it's between this, bastion, and might and magic: clash of heroes for my favorite downloadable title of the year. i think ITSP may just edge them out though. depends on how long it is. i have heard it is pretty short. that was my only gripe with regards to bastion. i could have used a couple more hours. from dust is a beautiful game also but i suck so bad at it for some reason that i am having difficulty enjoying it as much as the others.

Just wanted to confirm. The E3 rep I talked to mentioned that the title had a 4 player co-op mode with randomly generated levels. That should help extend the life of the game. Yeah, ITSP could be this year's Limbo.

Fruit ninja code coming up as invalid. Guess ill wait till it releases to see if it works. Funny thing is I didn't want it that bad...just got it because it wasn't released. Ah well, the other two are amazing so I'm not worried much.
