How is PoP: The Forgotten Sands? I'm definitely interested, but would like to hear opinions from GAF before pulling the trigger.

Yeah I think I will pick it up since I have quite a few MS points sitting idle. Well more backlog of course, *SMH*.

Is the Games On Demand sale already underway? I looked in the games section on my console and couldn't find a thing.
It was in the deals section for me.

Damn it the only thing holding me back from a few of these GoD is hard drive space. I've got a 120 too. =\
What does that even mean? Dust is looking amazing and totally worth the 1200 points if what we've seen is an indication of the quality of the game.
Besides when a 1200p price stopped a game from being successful?
Eh, if people want the game, price doesn't matter much on XBLA, except for those who complain on forums.
Deadlight is it's only competition for "similiar gameplay style". Otherwise, an HD version of an old skater games (that's not even JSR!), A TPS, and a Kinect game have nothing to do with the Deep action gameplay Dust: AET seems to offer.
It'll come out around September... or so i've been told by a developer at E3.
It's looking sexy BTW.
Looks like Retro City Rampage is going to be missing its "May" release date by quite a wide margin. Apparently it's been finished for months already, just waiting to be released.
maybe sony wil step it and release it sooner (timed exclusive), like they did with scott pilgrim 2 years ago.

I'm curious to see how Jeremy Mcgrath turned out. I've always enjoyed offroad racing games, as long as they're good.

It's just a port of their iOS game TrophyLite. Bit odd really.

... wow. I was hoping they moved that junk up a week to try and fit some high-end stuff in before their stupid promotion. Ugh.

I think Dust at $15 is fine. Can't wait! TH, DL, and Dust for me probably.

Good to see Hybrid getting a release date. I am so pumped for that one, though unfrotunately, I think I'm just about the only one, and Multiplayer shooters aren't so good when you're the only one playing

So what are the guesses for when jsr might come out? Or is there a real release date?

There was a rumored date a few weeks ago for June 27th. That is clearly not happening at this point, as we would have heard by now.
Hopefully it comes out in the next few weeks, before the Summer of Arcade promotion begins, because if it doesn't we're probably looking at an August release for JSR.

Played the Jeremy McGrath demo last night.
It's extremely generous with the demo length. I played for an hour and I only saw two nag screens and there didn't appear to be any time limit.
The demo contains one track and one car with three different setups. As you play you earn XP that you can use to upgrade the car.
Standard race mode with grid or rally settings and a time trial mode where you race against your own ghost. It starts out on amateur difficulty and I thing the Semi-pro difficulty unlocks once you complete a standard race and a time trial (or it could be just a time or XP based unlock). I didn't play enough to unlock an expert mode if there is one.
This could be held to the games determent but if they made a Cars (pixar) rally game this would be what I would expect. I'm not sure if there would be enough content but it's a simple rally game and I enjoyed the hour I spent with it before going to bed.

Sounds like the FEZ patch is up, but, erm, maybe ignore it for now.
"THE PATCH IS KINDA BROKEN. Reports of savefile corruption. We advise against installing it unless you already can't play the game."

Spelunky's Achievement List. Now we play the waiting game.
Might as well mention the recent Spelunky Article mentioned by Warm Machine in the XBLA versions thread here, too.
A worthwhile read for those interested in the game! There's also a new soundtrack sample in the article.
Seems like there's an achievement for beating the game with at least 3 players... could be a bit of a pain due to no online co-op, but a worthy challenge all the same! (Pair that with the "Beat the game in 8 minutes" achievement, and hilarity might ensue...)

I tried downloading it with my UK account when it first came out but it didn't appear to work or show up in my download history. Will try my US account later.

Still no news on Guilty Gear, wonder if it will still come out this summer and when we're finally getting some clarification on which version we are getting.
