According to the official Japan site, Tik's Texas Hold'Em is coming out in March (the next couple of days then?) and Uno is coming out in April. The recent new releases have all been out on Thursday, so maybe Texas Hold'Em will be out tomorrow? Point requirements are not listed for either title.
 
I had my Xbox repaired about a month ago. Now when I try to play Geometry Wars offline, I can only play the trial version. Is there anything I can do?


Same thing happened with Joust for me. Yes, you're out of luck for the time being. Your full versions are tied to your serial number, which is now different. You can only play when online.


Question: When is Street Fighter 2 coming?

Fortunately, you are not out of luck. The proper thing to do is to call support (1-800-4-MY-XBOX, or the appropriate number in your country). They should be able to deal with this issue for you. If you are unable to correct the issue through them, please send me a PM.
 
Is it me or is 3rd Strike more laggy than ever? I was on at 1 in the morning yesterday and still lagtastic. I don't remember it being this bad. O well.

Are you under the impression that I just made this up? When I received my new Xbox 360 (they don't repair parts, only send new ones), I called them and they told me that being online was the only way to play my purchased "Joust" game.

No, I didn't intend to imply that. Apparently the person you spoke to was misinformed. I would call back, and if the person you speak with tells you the same thing, ask to be escalated. If that doesn't work, PM me.
 
I read on the official Xbox Forums that people were getting their gamerpoints back on demand, for the "lost" arcade games. They called the Xbox hotline, and were given their points back so they could re-purchase the games on their new console. You should try suggesting that to them.
 
In case you missed it... Pacman and Galaga are nearly complete and there has been over 520,000 marketplace downloads in japan. This came out of MS's 360 briefing in Japan.

I actually did get my points back, but I don't know how to redownload the game yet. There has to be a special way to do it since I get the same (old) version when I download it now.

Sweet.
 
Pac-man...I must have!
 
Even $5 for just Pac-Man or Galaga seems a little steep when $20 Namco Museum gets you ~20 games, although the leaderboards and achievements are always a bonus. If they offered something like a Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man/Pac-Man Arrangement and Galaga/Galaxian/Galaga Arrangement bundle it would be more tempting.
 
Stylish, but barebones ports like I expected. Someone has got to raise the fucking bar on remakes, achievements and leaderboards are nice but I want better fucking games.
 
I wonder if Namco would be able to release a multiplayer Pacman like Pacman Vs. for XBLA. That would be so amazing, but Miyamoto co-developed it, right? So it couldn't be the exact same thing.

Jesus dude i was halfway to my 360 before i thought *i bet this is fake*. Came back and confirmed my thoughts. Check This shit before you post!
 
New game in development for XBLA. It's a Revolt clone called "Mad Tracks." No idea on when it's coming out. My guess would be Aug/Sep timeframe. I'm basing that on where I think the team is in the development phase and the fact that XBLA is on a schedule to only release 3-5 games a month.

http://thrillskilla.wordpress.com/tag/dev-interview/

Mad Tracks is a mix of arcade, racing and party game. Driving a car is just an excuse to get info different game play situations. The toy cars will be used to race in the stairs but also playing mini golf or foos table.

edit: Also another game is in the works called Cloning Clyde. I don't know all the details, but I believe it is a 2D platformer developed internally by MS.

additional info: MGS is sponsoring an intern program this Summer, where the interns will actually create a game from scratch and be part of the process all the way from inception through distribution on XBLA. Again, I don't know the details and given time constraints, I'm not entirely sure how it will all work.
 
If someone says "Street Fighter's up!" and I refresh my Friends list and there aren't 15 people "Downloading content from Xbox Live Arcade," then I don't believe it.

I wish Microsoft would give us ballparks for what XBL content to expect in a given week though. If only to prevent BS like this from happening every few days.

EDIT - ok, re-read, I get what you're saying. Yeah it would be quite helpful.

That's why I have Major Nelson's RSS feed... he's usually good about saying what's up on XBL on a relatively timely basis.
 
I downloaded Astropop and Bejeweled 2 this weekend.
Hardest achievements ever!?

That endless mode one is just retarded. 10 points for a 30 hour game of Bejeweled? Come on!!! And I hate the "No More Moves" shit too. Give me back my Zoo Keeper. On the plus side, the music is absolutely stunning. You have to turn the sound effects down (but for some reason explosions are in the music channel!!?!) - it's fantastic and spacey.

Astropop I am still working on, but so far the announcer is bugging the crap out of me (just like Bejeweled).
