Hey, I would appreciate an invite as well.

Thanks very much!

It'll be interesting to see if MS reacts to HW being spread like wildfire right now.

(Especially if they figure out that the "leak" came from PlayXBLA - someone sent a friend request to them when they were streaming it, hit join in progress and got the download prompt.)

Game is out on Friday, I'm sure they don't care about a few people getting in early.

I wonder if it's actually the first videogame ever to be released virally

Wait, huh? Can't you invite from the beta version?

I didn't mean crackdowns and bans, I meant them maybe saying fuck it and putting it up tomorrow even.

Yes, but in the eyes of someone who likes all forms of FPS gaming but prefers MP (i.e. me), it's not. 2400MSP is a ripoff and it's not an accident that they packaged the MP with the expansion.

According to the PR rep, MP was bundled with the expansion (rather than the base game) due to the XBLA file size limits.

SS3 is an interesting release because it is a full retail title (and a recent one at that) on the PC. Seeing it for $15 on XBLA (even $30 for base + MP + DLC) is still cheaper than retail PC at most shops.

How often does *that* happen?

anyone want to invite me for HW?

I wanna get down on Happy Wars too.

Not a problem. As I said, guys... If you want an invite, MESSAGE ME.

as a note for those wanting an invite, you MUST be online, accept the persons friend request, and then they can "invite to game" allowing you to download

Holy shit, Happy Wars has the worst matchmaking I've ever seen. It seems like no two people who have a moderate NAT (like myself) can connect to each other, which is normal and fine, but the game then decides that both people should get booted out. WTF is that? I was in a lobby first, boot the other guy and let him find another one. This is just turning into endless cycles of trying over and over and over, with him doing the same thing, meaning neither of us get to play until the other gives up or ends up in another match.

Why can't the game do what every other game does - pick a host and let him be the funnel for all the various connection types? This game is going to be unplayable tomorrow when everyone's on it.

you should really figure out a way to open that NAt type. multiplayer gaming can be such a drag on 360 with a closed or moderate nat.

where's retro city rampage? bloody hell, I just don't understand how they can give those games release slots but not retro. is there something more going on behind the scenes? the microsoft logo was missing from the launch trailer.

It's a conspiracy.

Wait a minute, that release date is for 2010. Good grief. Should be November 14. And it's out on PSN today. I think Sony might get my money this round.

woops, yep the 14th is the correct date. Must have misread going between different date formats.

I remember the Giant Bomb guys did a quick look of it a long time ago, it came up in conversation not that long ago and I'd just assumed it somehow slipped out ages ago.

I you have PS3, go try out Warlords Demo now! It's not too bad at all, I kinda like it. Gameplay feels fun, I think the updated ideas are solid enough, but with the 6 or so other PSN games that came out on that or Vita that day, it seems 100% overshadowed.

The two Odama fans out there are going to go nuts for Warlords.

Download happy wars, real fun game.

Great news about Hell Yeah! DLC. Sod the costumes, will buy the extra levels day one.

can anyone help me find the cheapest place to buy MS points?

i live in UK

cheapest i can see is this, £15.69 for 2400, seems good but wondering if theres any offers where i can get it cheaper?

I'm glad for the release of both classics, but i can't understand why Sega don't make a 16:9 version like Sonic CD.

Sonic CD is a port to a new engine (created by a fan no less), not an emulated rom.

Heathen. OAR or GTFO. ;)

I got Swarm for 200 allards, and enjoy it a lot more than I expected. At least I did until the third level, where I can only get 250K out of 400K needed to progress. What am I doing wrong?

#3 coming soon, Gordon Freeman returns to Xbox.

Happy Wars went up over night but no sign of Pool nation.


If you are a PR, publisher or dev bod and you have a game coming soon to XBLA you really should mention this when you are in contact with MS. This needs to be sorted out.

Comparison: NiGHTS for the Saturn vs. Xbox 360/PS3

It is kind of amusing that the original Saturn game had better shading and lighting.


I hope they add an option for full analog control.

Released today,



Happy Wars - Free (Gold membership needed), 445MB. |OT|

Is Happy wars free to play but with microtransactions or you have to pay to unlock more of it? I don't like it when games do that.

F2P with microtransactions. Everything is unlocked apart from SP story mission that are unlocked by you increasing your level rank in-game.

You buy Happy Tickets which can be used instead of Happy Stars (the other currency you get from playing the game) or to buy items. They help you level items faster and get better gear that can give you an advantage but it doesn't break the game.

I need me a good chill game, any good simulations on XBLA? Farming, business owning, something in that vain.

Outpost Kaloki X is a light Space Station Sim

A Kingdom for Keflings / A World for Keflings are both relaxing base-builders--basically the resource management components of an RTS game with no conflict or military component.

Stump listed the few I could think of on XBLA.

You could have a look on XBLIG - http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Ga...ortby=TopRated

So funny in happy wars we were being dominated and everyone was defending/attacking the castle so i slip away and got all the towers and ended up winning the match for us

So Pool Nation never went up?

I second Outpost Kaloki. It was one of the first XBLA games I felt had real depth, but retaining streamlined controls. Been a while since I played it though, so not sure how it holds up.

I should really go back to this. I got 10GS on it seven years ago and never really got anywhere with it. There always seemed to be another game just slightly ahead of it on my to-play list.

(Smooth Operators on XBLIG is a pretty awesome chilled out sim game, by the way).

Three old-school Sega fighting games, Virtua Fighter 2, Fighting Vipers, and Sonic the Fighters, may be making their way to the Xbox 360 soon, based on a trio of ratings from Germany's ratings board, the USK.

So what's the objective in Keflings if there's no combat? I've only played the demo for a short time and made some buildings.

I wondering the same. have they said what happened?
