I don't get Texas Hold 'Em. I downloaded it, but I don't get it. Oh well.

Now, Zuma, Hexic and Geometry Wars is another thing. :D
 
I thought Texas Hold Em would be confusing, but it's really not. It's just REALLY ****ING BORING. Christ, I dunno how anyone can play an actual real game of it, it must take hours.

It's a wee bit different when you're playing for your own, real money, and a real shot at winning more, real money.

Yeah me and my friends got bored of it QUICK. Poker without money is very boring and there is no real thrill of winning or losing. I thought a table full of friends though would be fun for at least an hour... but nah. :(

Let us play with MS Points!!!!!!!!!!

Man, Competition Tournaments are where the action is.
 
The game kicks my ass. I didn't know you needed actual single player money to go online, so I played single player and went all-in a few times to see what the AI was like.

okay, no money left, so I can't go online to play cuz most of the tables require a huge amount of money to play. How are people getting millions of dollars? I play the free entry (since I'm now "broke" in the game and I can't reset it) and the most I can do is slave for an hour or so and HOPE I get first place and collect a measly $1,000 just so I can enter the next level tournament, which always has some sharks getting unusually good hands?
 
So have all your friends chip into a PayPal account or something and the winner gets the cash. Or pay out 70% to #1 and 30% to #2. If you want to gamble using real money, there are certainly loads of ways to manage to do so.
 
Yeah, it's easy to toss out the "ZOMG IT'S ONLY FUN WITH REAL FRIENDS!!1!" shit, but with poker, even moreso than Halo 2 or any other online game, it's really, truly the case.

Texas Hold 'Em is rife with problems from UI to bugs to exploits, but I played a good 3 hours over live with some buddies of mine and it was a blast. Boring as sin, otherwise.
 
Looks like Marble Blast Ultra is getting some bug fixes and 11 free new multi player maps!! This and SFII getting fixed is great news indeed!

I DONT KNOW JONNYRAM ITS NOT LISTED FOR ME

WTF

oh there it is, i had to dig in the deep deep regions of the damn thing
 
wow the pgr3 pack aint all that bad. I like that they are giving us packs for UNO. As this pack has some interesting features to it. A Gotham TV card that allows you to see your opponents hand, and well other than the changing backgrounds the rest is just annoying. Especially the damn PGR3 song which is only 40 seconds long and looped. And the sound effects for when you get a bad card and stuff is nice but not needed.

I hope we get more card packs soon cause i could get used to these as new options for playing online uno with.

pretty cool
 
I will buy the UNO deck as soon as I have some spare MP. At the moment, I have a balance of 80, and I'm not buying more *just* to buy the UNO deck. But I will purchase it, oh yes.
 
Okay, the PGR3 deck is pretty cool, as long as you turn down acceleration sound effect that plays with almost every card. Thankfully, UNO lets you turn down the sound and music volume independently :D
 
Man, the PGR3 deck got more discussion then all of Scramble.

It seems like a fun game so I may pick it up. I had a Coleco when I was a kid so I had a game similar to this but not exactly, so it has a nice nostalgia factor. Looking at this games 'fanfare' I'm worried on its sales (leaderboards not even at 4000 yet).

IMO, seeing Scramble hit XBLA was most exciting because it means Lumines is only a week away. Another problem with Scramble is that no one remembers the game. I barely remembered Time Pilot.
