Marble Blast Ultra and Jetpac are pretty great for 400 pts.

Worms at $5 is worth it, even though it's not as good as Worms: Armageddon or World Party.Kafel said:

No, and they never will. We may get a sequel though. Personally, I'd rather get a port of Gunbound or Cortex Command but that's a topic for a whole different thread.Sleeker said:
What the....
My copy of Sonic the Hedgehog XBLA has turned into a trial version despite me being listed on the leaderboards, having 7/12 achievements for it, etc (so obviously I've purchased it). I have even deleted the game and redownloaded it and it's STILL appearing as a trial. And yes I'm logged into Xbox Live.
Any ideas?

Mine did that once I moved to a new console. I just deleted and downloaded again. The game has a bug on the gamertag detection, I guess.
Seems that it does not help you, have you tried to use the License Transfer Tool from MS?

Did you try the marketplace website? It may be accessible from there (I haven't tried it recently though). There was a thread on it but I don't have the link handy.Jonnyram said:Is there any way to redownload some of the timed Lumines stuff?
I moved consoles and can't access anymore, but when I go to my download history, it's not even listed

Lumines Live! - Heavenly Star Skin - http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/0cc00005-0000-4000-8000-0000584107f8
Lumines Live! - Breeze Skin - http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/0ccf0004-0000-4000-8000-0000584107f8
I believe Heavenly Star Skin is the second edition of it (I think the first one was the best), but anyway...

I have a question about DRM. I have an Xbox 360 but no internet. I want to take my harddrive to my friend's house, connect to the internet (with my HD and his xbox) and download some game updates, demos, videos, etc. When I go back to the Xbox at my place, it won't be connected to the internet. So, will I be able to use the stuff I downloaded on my own Xbox or is it DRMed to the Xbox you download it on (which would be his in this case)? Or is the whole thing moot because you need to be connected to some kind of internet to play/use all the stuff you downloaded?

Game updates do not use DRM, same for demos e game videos. Other stuff, like extra content (even if it is free), arcade games, videos, use DRM and are tied to the console you made the purchase (when offline) and to the gamertag that made the purchase (online). So those you will not be able to use.

That would be very cool if they had that feature.McBacon said:
Wait, what? The XNA games are US only? What the fucking fuck is that.
I think the big problem, rather, is that the giant is way too fucking slow. I like messing around just building some stuff, but I'm starting to get sick of it since everything takes forever. I mean, it's possible to pick apart a structure and move it piece by piece to save resources if you find that you placed your stone cutter's poorly or whatever...but that takes so fucking long, I'd rather just build a new one. And the speed updates are too little, too late...
Other than that, I'm digging it a lot. I'm loving the fact that you can step in and take over the job if you think the Keflings suck at it. It's something I've always wanted to do in a strategy game.
I don't remember the solution, but I know it's in the DD forum on Xbox.com as that's where I found it. Hopefully that'll point you in the right direction at least.
It doesn't really. Just basic city planning like don't put the lumbermill 50 miles from the forest. Still relaxing and fun though. It does the same thing NB always does -- takes a strategy genre and over-simplifies it into something akin to chewing gum. Damn tasty chewing gum.LakeEarth said:

That's a glitch in all the Sega games. I had it for Golden Axe myself. (And Double Dragon, but that's not Sega.)Sean said:

R-Type is going to be seven shades of awesome. I hope there's going to be an achievement for finishing the first one on one credit. I've never done it on the arcade, had to use a second credit. But I'm really keen to finally do it. It will be one of the harder achievements to get on XBLA if it exists.
Personally, I'm most looking forward to Void Star's "Ares Fall," an upcoming lootwhore Action/RPG, which XBLA desperately needs (especially after the disappointing Arkadian Warriors).
Void Star has a development blog up that they're continually updating with brief code segments, screenshot updates, and the occasional vid... Still seems rather early, so I'm not sure when it's going to be out, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

They did Poker Smash, right? That was one of my favorite XBLA games. I believe one of devs posts here under the tag 'dcard'.Scott said:

Re: Sega game trial / full glitch:
Start the game, select "Unlock full game" and then you'll be presented with the menu where you can buy the full game. Of course, since you HAVE bought the full game, the full game option will have a tick next to it. Select it anyway (you won't be charged again for it) and start the download. Now, when the download finishes, DO NOT select "Play Now". Select Cancel instead. You'll be returned to the main menu which then magically now lets you play the full game.
You have to do this every time you want to play it.
MICROSOFT FIX THIS SHIT ALREADY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Sorry, chief, but there's no way that a company with $60B in yearly revenues can do any better than that. You plebes have to pull your weight, too, you know?
Ok, somebody seriously fucked up when they approved garbage like Coffeetime Crosswords for XBLA, but Weapon of Choice is stuck hidden in the XNA section. That's some bullshit! This game is retardedly awesome.
I'm griping mostly because I can't buy it! No XNA section for euros. Fuck you, MS! I want to rock out all night with my badass spiderpack, not play the first 5 minutes over and over again.

If you really want to buy it, there is a way (as explained by Rlan here):

At least that's how I got it.

Oh wow. Blow is so beautifully serene that it kinda makes me want to cry. :lol
Thanks, but that's the trick for buying Tetris Splash and Spongebob and any other XBLA game that never hit Europe too and that means once your Xbox crashes you can never play it on your main account again. Waste of money considering the fact that my 360 will RRoD sooner or later.Brakara said:

I could understand that line of thought if it had achievements and/or online multiplayer, but why do you have to play this game on your main account?

You actually can play them on any 360 and with your main account - you just need 2 pads. Log into xbox live with pad 2 and choose the account you bought the game with (your fake acc.). After that, login with pad 1 as usual (with your main acc.). The game will show up as full version, even if the 360 is not the one you originally bought the game on.
You're completely correct, but I don't like paying for something that I know I'll lose eventually...Brakara said:
Most awesome tip even if I'm not going to use! Very appreciated and saved in my memory bank of tricks.CHR_AeON said:
It's worth it if people are still playing online (something I can't answer). Excellent game.Jirotrom said:
No local multi as you would see the other players' cards. Seeing their cards is actually not a big deal at all, but I assume that was their reasoning for omitting local multi. That, and...well, "local multi" is kinda what the physical version is for. Probably way more fun than taking turns with a controller too.
