So if anyone remembers that "Beat Drop" game from MS that had it's achievement list leak...I just got a command in Voice Studio for "Go to Beat Drop". They only give these commands for existing games and such, so just gives more credence to it's existence and possible coming soon(ish)

Man, I miss the 360 arcade days when a new game was released every wed. Any word when the next batch of Indies are coming out?

I am toying with the idea of getting Ground Zeroes, but I am trying to hold of for a deal...

I've seen it on sale a few times, probably best to hold off. I think it was $15 or $20 at one point.

it's pretty bad, but I have to remind myself it's not even a year old yet.

Very true. All info should be posted on Xbox Wire well before the release date, like the PlayStation blog does.

We posted a Flockers video review on our site. There's some gameplay and you get to hear some of the basics of the game.

Also, not a good use to you now, but if you get the game this Friday and need help, we uploaded over 20 videos covering achievements, golden fleece collectibles, and how to 3 star some levels...with more to come!

Hope you all enjoy... it will be out this Friday!

Man, I wanted to try the game out over the weekend but my internet was down. Thank goodness they fixed it today.

Edit: My mistake on the embargo!

You mean video preview, right? Review embargo! Man, I wanted to try the game out over the weekend but my internet was down. Thank goodness they fixed it today.

Review embargo ended on the 11th

The time One deals get put up has been very inconsistent. Putting them up on Monday night the last couple of weeks was nice though.

 

[jbug617]

No deals with Gold this week?

It's 50% off retro costumes for KI and 33% off Valiant Hearts

 

[pacman85]

It appears you can now get to DLC on xbox.com. Has this been around for a while already? It seems new to me. MajorNelson posted the XBox One deals for the week and linked to some BF4 DLC that has a separate listing on xbox.com like all the XBox 360 has always had.

I think it's pretty new, I saw that a few weeks ago.

Another announcement!

Kickbeat Special Edition coming out September 26: http://blog.zenstudios.com/?p=4864

Valiant Hearts, at least in the UK store.

 

[Steverulez]

Getting quite a few games coming out soon! Updating the OP now.

Flockers out this week, Defence Grid 2 is next week as well

Pinball Arcade is also in cert which Banjo pointed out to me the other day

As do I

 

[EBreda]

First Defense Grid was great, looking forward to the sequel!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Nutjitsu should also be out in every other region soon. Was previously US only

 

[Chiaroscuro]

This is that Ynuit lore game, right? Day one to me. Strange to set a date in so advance for a indie game.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Never played Kickbeat on the Vita, but playing it on X1 is really scratching my Guitar Hero itch. Pretty fun so far, although I've only tried story mode as of right now.

Yep, here's the E3 trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ9-IgYdLBI

Will probably buy Castlestorm. Very funny multiplayer and co-op part.

Sure but that's what everyone complained about last year - that MS was too controlling. Now people put out games when they want, and people complain there is no regimented schedule. They can't win....

I, Personally, was always happy with the way MS had set it up on 360.

Love the style and it played really great at Gamescom, especially in coop.
Day One for me

well maybe if they still had all the support that made xbla so great for a few years there on the 360.

The console is almost a year old and there still really isn't much on the marketplace. Stuff like Geometry Wars, Doom, Contra were all there within months of the 360. We don't even have those kind of games now. Where's Sega offering me Sonic for the 30th time?

Thanks guys. Fingers crossed that they play nice and hook us up then.

This game, together with Ori and Project Totem, and hopefully Below, Cuphead, and Hyper Light Drifter soon afterward are going to make my winter much more bearable.

What ? They just stopped talking about the game for almost one year, and then *boom* surprise release ? That's weird...

 

[Bobnob]

Is there going to be a Texes hold em game anytime soon ?? Damn i miss this Wtf Xbox

 

[barneystuta83]

Damn D4,look forward to giving it a go.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Swery65 has been talking about it on Twitter all the time, and Microsoft announced it for release this year back in June.

By the way, Xbox Wire has an interview with Swery65.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Yep, very weird about D4 stealth release. I was 99% sure we would get a release date at TGS from MS, but wasn't expecting an "available now" situation.

And yes, I agree, MS has to be crazy if they aren't making another poker game on X1. The previous F2P ones they released performed pretty well IIRC.

edit: Looks like D4 is actually out today in Japan, but Friday everywhere else(?)
