Can't say if it was actually fun to, you know, actually play...but it was one hell of a hilarious experience. Jeff Minter is ****ing insane in a brilliant way.
I'm glad that both games are great but... I want to try them!
Especially MSE.I really don't know, but I really can't imagine XNA kids can get in on PN.Digital Limit said:
I can't decide if this posts warrants a joke reply or a serious one, so um, I'll just say that most of what I do is find something and post about how much I like it. Free advertising shouldn't piss anybody off.pooteeweet said:
(Unless the game is Wing Commander, of course.)
Hey, we're in the same boat there. I don't play with my own gamertag (don't even know if that's possible) on that machine or anything, so I force myself to just give the games a shot for five minutes because I want my scores and achievements on my real tag.jet1911 said:I'm glad that both games are great but...

I really only ever get a little taste and then I'm back to being like everybody else in this thread, though I'm probably frothing over MSE more rabidly than anybody else after having seen its awesomeness. So, I guess in a way you should be glad you can wait until it releases and not have to go through the waiting torture like me?

Is the 5.1 mix for Sonic any good?

That would have made a much better megaton for the E3 press conference than Jeff Bell's Golden Axe.Grecco said:No chance at a Simpsons the Arcade Game Release right? Even with the Movie coming out?
For some reason, I'm blaming EA for this game not hitting XBLA. They're afraid it'll outshine their Redwood Shores-developed effort.

So is Super Contra, and they are both absolutely horrible games. Ouch. I felt cheated just playing the trial.

Super Contra: Extremely limited game-space, marred further by massive borders filled with ugly, ugly smudged "art." The game itself isn't much fun either, due mainly to the crappy, unresponsive controls and the perpetual feeling that everything is moving reaaaaaaallllly sloooooowwwww. Overall, very little was upgraded, and it's another crappy port job by Digital Eclipse. Nostalgia is its only redeeming quality.
Wing Commander: Everything.

I'm still waiting for Track & Field.
It's interesting to compare NeoGAF's reaction to Arena with the way it's been received at a certain high profile Wing Commander site. You'd think that diehard WC fans would be a bit more discriminating when it comes to the resurrection of their beloved franchise. You'd be wrong.Sean said:

How much is it now for the game with all packs and how many versions of solitare
I am starting to get put off buying cheap & quick little XBLA games that have a lot or are going to have a lot of content as DLC.
/Hypocrite as the ones I love I would be shouting for more.

I was watching a friend play Golden Axe the other day and I thought...WHY THE HELL ISN'T VECTORMAN ON XBLA? I'd pay for Vectorman so fast.
Gowans007 said:
Game = 800 pts
4 game packs = 150 pts each
Total = 1400 pts
Game = 18 versions of solitaire
Each pack = 10 versions of solitaire
Total = 58 versions of solitaire
So for a little less than $20, you get 58 varieties of Solitaire, including online multi-player, leaderboards, and custom card design. I'm happy with my purchase of Soltrio. The themes aren't bad either.

Sometimes I wish DLC and patched games would get re-reviewed or amended to take this into effect.
I've seen a number of people on my FL play this and when Ive spoke to them they have all been happy. Im skipping as Im just not a big Soli guy but as an example if I was I would be less likly to buy it as I would have to buy the full game and all packs so I felt I had the full game, maybe Im weird that way. Sometimes Im not in Alien Homnid I love that game but there no way I need any more PDA games

Good god. I can't fathom that many varieties of Solitaire.Eggo said:

Sorry.
I actually dug the Soltrio Solitaire demo; the IGN review is absolutely terrible and I disagree with it on almost all counts (oh noes you play it on the tv and not on the pc as an alternative to actual work - what?). But do somewhat agree that they've overpriced it, especially with the flurry of extra gamepacks for more moneys :/ I would have grabbed it for 400pts, or 800pts if it had included all the gamepack contents. I might still eventually grab it anyway.
Nothing wrong with Solitaire; Solitaire was there before you were born! Soltrio is nice looking and I really like the music in the demo (almost reminds me of a mix of soothing fantasy music and Minimalism) - although does the full version have more tracks?
Gowans007 said:
They play quite differently. You'd be surprised. The Solitaire board on Xbox.com asked players which versions of Solitaire they most wanted and I think there's still more out there that aren't available yet.
I think the game is worth owning if you have any non-gamers who ever come over or live in the household. Most people like Solitaire.
