Awesome Boom Boom Rocket. This might actually get me to play it again.
Review of Word Puzzle
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. Actually at least the plague is visually interesting to look at.

this game is actually pretty fun in multiplayer. With the game being so simple it allows the pure competitive nature of people to shine through.
I'm not saying this is a great (or even good) game, but that the multiplayer portion of the game is night and day better than the singleplayer

You can find it under 'all arcade games' because it's not showing up in the 'recently released' at least not in the UK it isn't.
As for Switchball, the game seems cool and all but it's I'm a bit dissapointed about the screen tearing issues. The camera is a bit awkward to use too. Still I'll probably end up getting it.

Totally. BBR is (or will be) back, baby!!!
I've completed the first area now and one level of area 2, and I can say that The tearing issues only seem to be bad in the first two levels!. Talk about a bad way to promote your game 
I will also say that The races are pretty fun, purely rolling your ball around while trying to knock the other guy off or out. I've only been able to spot 2 other people online, and I played a dude from Italy and the Lag wasn't particularly bad [512 connection in Australia]. It's probably more fun right now since nobody knows how to complete a level. Will be nice to see how well an 8 player game goes :lol
I WILL say that The Coop levels, which are online only and sort of hidden in there, are REALLY awesome. You have to work together in order to push yourselves to the end, it was really fun :lol
Looking at the leaderboards.. it seems that either it only shows the top 100 players, or only 100 people have bought the game. It's really quite nice, being relaxing and frustrating at the same time :lol
I wish split screen was in there, this kind of is a fantastic Coop game. I think it's only got a few Coop levels though, which is dissapointing.

Thanks for the impressions Rlan!
Did anyone else pick up the game? I hope it's as good as TXB says: http://reviews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1420/Switchball/p1/

Excellent. I thought it would've been offline only because they only mentioned competitive online multiplayer in their press release.Rlan said:
Unfortunately there only appear to be 4 Coop levels, but I definitely hope they expand on this down the line. They're pretty long levels - the first one took me about 5-6 minutes.
Split screen would have been nice though, would certainly fit in with pick up and play, and would certainly fit in the 'games I could play with my girlfriend' demographic :lol

WTF?! Switchball has crash on me twice now.
Anyone else with the same problem? Playing trial game, First time on the second level given, blip sound came, then just the blue background... Second time on the third level, just passed the balls comung down halfpipe type thing, then garbled screen w/ screeching noise. (I'm scared I hope it's the game and not signs of RRoD)
EDIT: Yayyyyyy I'm about to get RRoD me thinks, same garbled screen w/screeching happened with word puzzle.... This and 8-0, what a shitty 24hrs :*(

Found this thread at last!
Last night I decided to check if switchball was up, didn't see it so went to bed. Had a scare this morning because I could not find it again, but phew it was under all game listings instead of latest releases
Been looking foward to this, MBU is one of my fave arcade games so far so this should be far from fail.

Ahh, thanks. Normally it downloads anything new but for some reason I didn't get that.

What news of Commanders or War World?
Also Word Puzzle beats out Yaris as worst game on the service.
Switchball is pretty fun, but 30 levels doesn't seem like much and I'm not quite sold on it yet. The graphics and physics are really nice for an arcade game, though.
