I'd love to pay 10 bucks per table for accurate simulations of pinball classics like Funhouse, Addams Family, etc.

Yeah it was all pretty much me. You all have me to thank. I take paypal donations. :lol
I haven't bought a single XBLA title since the 'surge' but I'm impressed and happy for the folks that downloaded and bought the games. Good job MS!

Nice! MS has really turned it around.
Will probably just get Eets though, I've built up a bit of an XBLA backlog so hmm.

Voice acting doesn't sound bad either.
And is it me, or does that movie chug a lot? I've had this before with GameVideos, with a movie from Army of Two and Jericho.
Basically in Eets your goal is to get the main character (the titular Eets) from where he starts to the exit. You don't directly control him, he wanders around much like a Lemming. The difference is that his emotional state determines how he reacts to certain situations. If he's scared he will shy away from ledges, if he's angry he'll charge around and leap over gaps and so on. You can change his emotional state with various items you plant on the map. In addition to that you plant various contraptions on the level that can launch him, block him and whatnot.
So yea, Lemmings meets the Incredible Machine.

Another double-dip this week - nice!
XBLA has been on a steamroll run these past months, and it's great to see the annoying complaining that used to happen in this thread stop for quite sometime now...
Gonna go watch those vids now, since Schafer just said that it's part-The Incredible Machine, a game I grew up on and loved to death!

FX Pinball site is up on xbox.com. No sign of Eets yet.

Oh, TIM, how I long to fondle your rubbery bands and bouncing basketballs, to bend your pipes and tubes.
I'm just imagining how much money they're going to suck out of me with all the DLC "Part Packs". Think they'll be cool enough to allow downloadable user-built puzzles?

There's always a chance that some stuff won't see the light of day, but it's well established that Ikaruga, Bomberman, and Gripshift are in one form of development or other.

Maybe the dev of Pinball FX can cut a deal with whoever's publishing the Pinball Hall of Fame games, as well as Gottlieb and Williams, to get that stuff on XBLA.beermonkey@tehbias said:

Here's Benjamin Birdie's list merged with Wikipedia stuff for North America, plus Bomberman and Gripshift, sorted:
53 games.
Of course, there's more in development than that.

Correct. Two games/week is now the standard; a one-game week is the new "Uno Theme Deck/Texas Hold'Em Patch" week. Choose wisely.arne said:
As for Pinball, it looks a lot like the Empire PC pinball games from about 5-6 years ago; however, for one table, those games were really, really solid. Should I not expect that level of quality from this game, or is it actually a good deal if you like the "real" pinball experience vs the Alien/Devils Crush, MS Pinball experience?

If you mean Magic, Luke alluded to it on 1up Yrs. The list I made contains stuff that has not been officially confirmed, but Luke specificially mentioned Magic by name.

Wow . . . nice to see another week of two games!
Of course the release of Gyruss was a pretty weak entry. That's an arcade game from the era when I was big into arcades . . . and I don't even remember it. When I fired up the demo, I just went . . . "Hey . . . this is 'They Crawled From Uranus' from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas!"
I'm psyched about the prospect of pinball . . . I hope it is good!

Wow great news indeed. Well done XBLA team. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that there isn't a classic arcade game this week. I love my oldies.

I fear for Hoopworld. It fell off the face of the earth. I longed for it more than any other XBLA game. I tell myself that it's gone forever. This way it will be a pleasant surprise if it ever shows up.

I missed this article. Not a terribly encouraging write up, but at least it's still around. I think I prefer to think of the game as dead and be pleasantly surprised later than to go on hoping in vain. I'll pretend I never saw that article.

Well, I wouldn't say 'confirmed'. But my interpretation of some of Mario's comments are that it's certainly 'on the table', and I'd be surprised if no development work has been done. But like I said, any of these games might not see the light of day.
And maybe my interpretation is completely wrong.

I'm really liking this 2 XBLA games a week thing. It's about time it happened.
I already own eets for the PC so I don't think I'm going to re-purchase the thing for the 360 but who knows. I might break down and pick it up regardless. Really fun game, especially if you're a fan of The Incredible Machine or Lemmings.
