Hah, well played.
Just a quick question not necessarily XBLA based, but If I ever get a free month of Xbox Live [like I've got one for XBLA: Unplugged], if I add that code in, and THEN buy and add a code for a year of Xbox live, is it added on top? Or would I have to wait for one to run out and then add the code for the next one?

It should just extend your current subscription by whatever amount you buy, so you can enter a code whenever.
Gave my XBLA backlog a bit of loving this weekend...
3D Ultra Minigolf: man, what a load of shite. The game is just badly designed, unfortunately, resulting in a fraction of difference in shot power making the ball fly off in some stupid place. I put the offline achievements to rest, and I might play it online if the opponent is equally pissed off with the game so we can just badmouth it over chat.
Assault Heroes: why did I not play this more earlier... I had such a blast getting to the end. I've just got a couple more achievements to get now, including the underground lair one, which should be straightforward if I'm a bit more easy-going with grenades, and the crazy hitrate one, which I might just skip.
Jetpac Refuelled: I love how the stages are grouped into 4s that you can skip to when you start... it gives it that little bit more accessibility. Level 32 (I think) was pissing me off for ages with its almost invisible enemies, but after I got a good run through that, it was plain sailing all the way to 47 or so, including my million+ score and the milky way achievement. Yay. 10 level survivor was a bitch, but so worth it in the end.

The news may be a little recycled but for those who didn't see it Catan is hiiting the XBLA in May.

How is multiplayer pinball going to work? You watch someone else play until your turn?

I'm taking these double-game weeks as a sign that there's no concern of a gameless week for months to come.

hey arne, as one gamer to another, if you've tried it, how's pinball?arne said:eets: chowdown and pinball fx for this week... two games again!
ZOMG AMAZING!:lol
BuddyC has been advocating it ever since it was announced for XBLA.Shard said:

I'll be hitting 49 this week, as I'll most likely end up with both.
Jeeeesus.
They really ended up staggering these out perfectly for their bottom line. If Root Beer Tapper came out this week, I probably wouldn't buy it, but back in the dry times, I couldn't resist.
XBLA, you are mighty sneaky.

Thanks arne. 3 tables can be fine, as long as they are good tables. Mmmm I loves me some pinball, even the video variety.arne said:i haven't played in a month or more. it felt like a decent pinball game, better than the pack-in one with windows
it felt solid though... but man I can't remember. i'll go play tonight.
i think the only downside was that it's only 3 tables to start with.

Eets is awesome. They really adapted it well to the controller.
It's like a funky, modern take on Lemmings in a way. A lot of fun with a nice sense of humor.
Pinball FX.. not so much unfortunately, especially for $10. "Real" style pinball on fake machines didn't do it for me. I'm a huge fan of Alien/Devil's Crush and the like. The tables seem way too static, and the ball action feels a bit off and overly artificial IMO.

When it slows down, we'll have so much to play it barely matters, as long as the next draught isn't as long as the last one.
