Yeah, it is, just not Trials good like so many try to make it out to be.

I'm not a person who would compare those two games.

 

[Lothars]

Ah, who cares. Joe Danger isn't even good =P

I disagree I think it's just as good as trials.

Those are the least trustworthy! Happens all the time that stuff goes up with tentative release dates...that's kinda why they get removed.

Yeah, it is, just not Trials good like so many try to make it out to be.

I feel it's on par with Trials because they are different enough from each other.

true, its fantastic.

12, this must have been done for a while then.

12, this must have been done for a while then.

Well CS:GO also has 12.

This is just for the developer to decide if they want 12 or 30 for 400.

So the listing for the Scott Pilgrim Wallace/online DLC was removed from MajorNelsons blog... not amused.

Ubisoft did not offer Joystiq a reason for the sudden delay, but did clarify a new release window. "The DLC for Scott Pilgrim will be releasing this fall," an Ubisoft rep told us. "The PSN version will release during that same timeframe. We'll have more information as we get closer to launch."

Is CS:GO coming out tomorrow like PSN/Steam or is it hitting on the usual XBLA slot?

[Family Fry]

Must say I am tempted by crazy machines for that price.
I really need to stop buying XBLA games.

 

[toythatkills]

In for Crazy Machines and maybe Skydrift too. TNT Racers is probably awful, right?

 

[SAB CA]

Deadblock is tempting at that price. I always through it was a nice little game, but it came out at a time where I just had no time for it.

And JoJo's "HD" Comes out this week, too...

 

[Gong]

SkyDrift is a great little game, loved it.

 

[aku:jiki]

Heyo, decent sale for once! I'm in for Dead Block, SkyDrift and TNT Racers.

(Though I know all but SkyDrift suck.)

Checked Amazon and trade in value was almost $9. I'll gladly replace my physical copy for a dollar. Thanks.

 

[Vegivo]

just looked up this Pid game. Very interesting

 

[-MikePriester-]

Puh, it's actually a pretty solid game to be fair. Lots of fun IF (A BIG IF) you have people to play with. The single player is ok but it's all about the multi and as far as I'm concerned, this was broken upon release (not sure of the status now). Good game though, a lot like Mashed (the decent PS2 version - not this gens piece of poop).

 

[PixyJunket]

I just played through Faery: Legends of Avalon a week or so ago (bought it the last time it was on sale) and I really liked it for what it was.

It's got a PS1-era JRPG battle system going on if you like that.

Me, I just like faeries.

 

[toythatkills]

I've been looking for something like this to get stuck into... it seems it's only about six hours long though?

Hmm, that seems on the low end? I guess it depends on how you play your games. I think I spent about ten or twelve hours on it, I did the whole game (including all quests and achievements) in a single Sunday. It's not overly difficult, but I did have to wander around a few times trying to find things.

Achievements for the SVC release of ToeJam & Earl just popped up: http://exophase.com/game/svc-toejam-earl-xbox-360/achievements/

Release probably isn't too far off, I'd guess.

Never played it, but I really like the artstyle. Why should I play it, and what kind of game could I compare it with?

 

[Speedymanic]

So a friend messaged me earlier saying that Serious Sam 3 is about to or already had been submitted for cert on LA, any truth to this? When did they even announce it was coming to LA? I thought they had canned the console release.

Anyway, decent sales this week. Skydrift is great for those who might be in the fence. Drop me a FR if you buy it, get some races going.

 

[Family Fry]

Yeah Serious Sam 3:BFE was announced alongside Serious Sam Double D XXL from Mommys Best Games, both for XBLA.
Double D will be 800 MSP, not sure about SS3, 1200?

Aug 1st,

Update on Serious Sam 3: BFE Xbox 360 - 3rd party testing:

We have completed our internal testing last week.

Final build was uploaded over the weekend to a 3rd party testing company, e4e, for the external testing.
They wil be testing both the Xbox 360/XBLA TCRs and FTCs.

E4e has already started with testing on Monday morning.
We are monitoring their testing progress on the fly through the bug r
eports they provide directly in our Bugzilla database.

Also, we are fixing discovered issues from the previous day and then upload the new fixed build in the evening, so they have it ready for regression testing the next morning.

Looking good so far...

Aug 17th,

Update on Serious Sam 3: BFE Xbox 360 - 3rd party testing - last day:

Brief:
Today is the last day of external testing.
Overall, testing went well.
Game is ready for a delivery to MS for certification/official testing.

Details:
There weren't that much issues. This means our internal testing was good.
Mostly it was TCR issues with incorrect messages shown when game gets interrupted (e.g. client
drops out, signing in/out) and wrong terms required by MS which are used in messaging.
There were also some "fail to return to main menu" issues when game gets interrupted.
And there were some "stuck in level" issues and some crashes, several of which were really difficult to reproduce.
Our guys also found a number of issues and a few nasty crashes while testing internally.
We managed to fix all reported so far.
We are confident this version (provided nothing big comes up today) is good and ready to be delivered (most likely end of next week) to MS for final testing.

SS3 and Double D XXL were announced a few months ago.

So the bundle is only TJ&E part 1 and part 2. I thought they would include a third game on it, but that is fine.

 

[Data West]

Never played it, but I really like the artstyle. Why should I play it, and what kind of game could I compare it with?

I recommend it just for the funky soundtrack. It's not like anything, really. That's kind of what's cool about it. Closest thing I can think of is Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and that's a stretch.

 

[Slayven]

Are there any roguelikes on LA?

 

[Of All Trades]

Are there any roguelikes on LA?

Literal rogue-likes or games that share the concept? Because Spelunky is the latter.

 

[Speedymanic]

Huh, thanks guys. So there are two SS games coming? Helm yeah.

 

[TheOddOne]

Class 3 renamed to "State of Decay", plus new video.

 

[toythatkills]

There's Cursed Loot on XBLIG, if achievements ain't yo thing

 

[randomlyrossy]

Spelunky.

Epic Dungeon is on XBLIG, pretty simple but really addictive too.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Yep.

:O

Nice

 

[Decado]

How is Trials Evolution for same-screen multiplayer? I was checking out the demo and it's possible I could get into it...but probably not for long on my own. thx

Wow that looks really good. Will have to keep an eye out for that one.

It's excellent. The track list is literally unlimited because of the community import feature and players of unequal skill level can still have a good time together.

So about to grab dust is deadlight worth it also?

 

[toythatkills]

Deadlight's worth picking up on sale sometime.

 

[Wibblewozzer]

Deadlight's worth picking up on sale sometime.

Alternatively, if you've purchased two other Summer of Arcade games I believe today would still count on buying three and getting 400 points back. In a way it brings Deadlight to 800 points. That's the reason I finally decided to buy the game a couple days ago.

I've played through the first act (1/3 of the game) and aside from a couple stray moments of frustration due to controls I've enjoyed it a fair bit. Won't be a terribly long game but anymore that's a plus since that means there's a good chance I'll finish the game. I imagine you should expect at most around five hours to collect everything? I spent around an hour so far on that first third of the game and I'm assuming it'll get harder and slower going.

 

[BruiserBear]

So about to grab dust is deadlight worth it also?

I was initially excited about Deadlight, but ultimately I found it disappointing. It's just a little clunky, and generally sub par in many ways. It's a poor mans Shadow Complex.

 

[Tomat]

Been trying a lot of those games listed in everyone's recommendations and I still can't figure out what to get. Still have 1200 points left over.

I'll be trying the CS:GO demo tomorrow but in all honesty I'm not expecting much from it.
