[Pakkidis]

Dude, thank you. Toy soldier map bought. One of the best games on XBLA.

I know this is a lot to ask, but does anybody have a free month gold code they want to give me, I want to buy some games with the new deals they got coming.

 

[Neuromancer]

Codes don't work for that.

Anyway, looking forward to Monkey Island 2.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Very interested in Blacklight.

I'm reading some IGN previews and it looks cool! It has thousands of weapon customizations and 12 maps. And all for $15!

This game is the same price as the Modern Warfare 2 map packs! Insane when you think about it!

 

[Liberty4all]

Blacklight looks cool as hell. I'm in on that at 15 bucks especially since I only do mp anyways. I've bought full retail titles for mp only and for alot more money

Preview from E3: http://www.msxbox-world.com/xbox360...tzen-Project-Lead-and-Lead-Game-Designer.html)

My buddy was at E3 and did the preview above ... he's raving about the game, says it plays out alot like CoD.

 

[Nizz]

Blacklight:Tango Down is X-Box exclusive? Or is it exclusive for a while? Game looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Liberty4all]

Blacklight:Tango Down is X-Box exclusive? Or is it exclusive for a while? Game looks like a lot of fun.

I think it's releasing on both Live and PSN (maybe steam too?)

Also I find the lack of enthusiasm about this game disturbing. I've heard the game is alot of fun and a great price for multiplayer whores that only play online portions of games anyways.

I am very interested in it. I hope it comes out on the same day for PSN.

psn has no date.

 

[MMaRsu]

Codes don't work for that.

Anyway, looking forward to Monkey Island 2.

With a month they do.

 

[Torgo]

Yeah, timed exclusive on XBL. I just asked about the PSN version this morning, and they won't say when that version is hitting yet :-/

 

[Xater]

Ugh

They better not delay it for too long. If this isn't out before the fall season games hit no one is going to bother with it.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

TRADE U BLACKLIGHT FOR SCOTT PILGRIM K THX

 

[Nizz]

Yeah, timed exclusive on XBL. I just asked about the PSN version this morning, and they won't say when that version is hitting yet :-/

That's too bad. Game looks pretty good from what I've seen. Though I haven't seen a second of footage for the PS3 version.

Ugh

Yeah, it's kind of dumb imo that a downloadable game like this is exclusive for any amount of time. I agree if they wait too long, people may move on to the next thing.

 

[Loxley]

I'm definitely planning on nabbing it. 12 maps, 7 game modes, co-op missions, and extensive weapon customization features all for the exact same price as Battlefield 1943? Don't see how I could pass that up.

My only concerns are the obvious server stability and bugs, since this is a smaller developer than, well, DICE. But hey, for that much content for $15 I'm willing to give these guys some leeway on that stuff. Since this isn't an established IP or developer there's no real telling how popular this thing'll be in the months following it's release.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

I'm certainly interested in Blacklight Tango Down.

But I'm also worried that it could be a mediocre online shooter.

I'm going to wait for reviews and see what people say. I also want to see the online community and see how many people are playing.

Than I'll decide.

 

[The Faceless Master]

gotta try the demo for blacklight before i decide...

 

[TheSeks]

gotta try the demo for blacklight before i decide...

Same, hopefully they do a 1943 demo-style demo. That's what pushed me into Battlefield. :lol

 

[RebornYeti]

Hmm, what about Breach? Isn't that supposed to come out sometime this Summer as well? I'm more interested in that, but Blacklight looks really interesting too. It's nice to see some cool Shooters for XBLA.

 

[TheApatheticOne]

So..... anything about Blacklight Tango Down yet in terms of impressions or reviews? What I have seen from it and the limited E3 impressions Ive heard, it sounds like something my wife will be mad about when I purchase another game when I get home from work today.

 

[Gowans]

Yeah where is this, was going to try the demo on my lunch.

With all the other shooters I have it's Gona have to be really good for me to grab it tho.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Is this multiplayer-only or is their a single-player campaign in there as well?

If it's just multi, well, I'll still consider buying it but I'm wondering if an XBLA title can beat COD/BC2 at their own games.

 

[TheSeks]

Yeah where is this, was going to try the demo on my lunch.

With all the other shooters I have it's Gona have to be really good for me to grab it tho.

Yeah, it's not up. But the other XBLA game is. WTF, MS?

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Yeah, I would definitely like to hear more. Grabbing from Loxley - "12 maps, 7 game modes, co-op missions, and extensive weapon customization" sounds GREAT to me. If the controls are good, they got one sale here. Just waiting to hear the good word from GAF.

 

[Liberty4all]

I'm grabbing it tonight based on my buddies preview from E3. 15 dollars for MP is a can't lose proposition given that I know the game is decent. (Jake actually got to play the game at E3 and told me it's a blast)

 

[Gowans]

its up
http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410a5b/?bt=0&sb=1&mt=16&gu=66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258410a5b&p=1&of=0

Still unavailable when you click to download them at the moment.

 

[Loxley]

Well, both the demo and the full game are now listed on the Live Marketplace for download, but they both lead to empty pages. Bah.

*woops, beaten

Oh, one of the devs just said on the game's official Facebook page that it should be up on the dashboard, but just to "give it ten minutes before it's up and running"

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

It's avaliable now.

Downloading the demo right now.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I was able to start downloading the demo from the web market place about 15 minute ago. Not sure why you guys are having issues.

 

[Rlan]

Not available in Asia, Australia or New Zealand. FUUUU

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Well Not-at-work-GAF, I expect impressions.... and soon!!!!

 

[Gowans]

It's avaliable now.

Downloading the demo right now.

It's up in the dash but doesn't look like the files there to dl in the UK, just get an error.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Well Not-at-work-GAF, I expect impressions.... and soon!!!!

22%....so slow

 

[Alex Connolly]

Not available in Asia, Australia or New Zealand. FUUUU

Lead & Gold syndrome, huh? Although, that might have shown up on the Oz PSN store. Either way, I'm waiting for B:TD to pop up on the US PSN after this XBLA drop in a week or two and nabbing it there.

 

[Loxley]

Apparently it's up on the EU/UK marketplace but not the US yet. Hmm.

 

[Archurro]

did it just go back down? It leads to an error of "Page unavailable"

 

[snoopeasystreet]

It's finished downloading now. I'll give my impressions in a few minutes.

 

[Rlan]

Lead and Gold wasn't there initially, but did make its way onto it some weeks later.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Still can't download this.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I played a black ops mission and a round of team deathmatch and am digging it so far. The shooting feels really solid and it controls pretty much the same as call of duty. Graffics are pretty much standard unreal engine (lots of grey) but there's some cool effects with both the emp and digi grenades (flash and smoke). I didn't mess around with the weapon customization but it looks to be fairly robust. I think I'll pick this game up cause it seems like I'll be able to knock 12 euros worth of fun out of it.

The trial gives you 60 minutes of online play so you should all give it a try.

 

[Genesis Knight]

Anyone know of a live stream for this?

 

[Zen]

I'll buy Blacklight because Shane needs a new Ferrari.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Played a few team deathmatches, is quite fun, there's not much recoil, but I didn't played MW so I don't know how it compares. Everything is rather standard, but there's a twist and that is some kind of ray-x vision, that allows you to localize enemies, even behind walls, it may sound unbalanced, but there's a cooldown time everytime you use it, you can't use weapons and there's a lag between activating the ray-x thing and deactivating it, so it requires strategy and precision to use it.

There's seem to a quite number of perks and weapons, so people who enjoys that are gonna have fun.

60 minutes demo as they said above me.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna buy, I already have BC2 for my shooter fix...but for 15$/€ people should check it.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Couldn't find a game and then it just went into some kind of loading screen...I don't think i did anything.

Got in a game. It's definitely interesting. Wish I could afford to get it now though.

 

[RS4-]

Can't even get the demo or anything up here in Canada :lol

 

[TheSeks]

Welp, still not letting me download it. The demo is there on the US Marketplace but can't be found by the 360 or Web marketplace to let me download it.

Goddamn it, Microsoft. :/

 

[Loxley]

Good Christ I'm finally able to download the trial (US), guess that's a start.

 

[Kajiba]

Dl now. Going reaaaaaaal slow though =/.

 

[Diablohead]

I have never really read up or looked at this game, what makes it special?

Need to go grab my 360 and hook it up in my room again for net access.
