Agreed completely, Garr.

The only fault I can find with the game is that we can't use fanmods and maps with it. Such is life. Still fucking classic gaming.

Alright, bought Duke Nukem 3D. Jesus Christ, online is a riot.

Played through the beginning up until the level Dark Side (game froze for some reason) on the highest difficulty (every single enemy kept respawning until we blew it up/shrunk it/shattered it. Pretty funny.), with 6 players from the beginning to just me and another person at Dark Side. Protozoid Slimers (green slime that crawls on the ceiling/floor and latches onto your face) still scare the living shit out of me, but it's hilarious watching people dance around when one's on their face. Definitely a good purchase.

If anyone wants to go through Co-op or play Dukematch, I'll gladly join when I get the chance.

For those who care, Vigilante 8: Arcade finally has a release date: November 5th. They also uploaded a gameplay trailer as well.

Definitely looking forward to this. ^_^

SLUTS.

Soon visual swirling spew (SPACE INVADERS EXTREME) will be in glorious HD for all those extra carrot chunk-like details!



Also Arkanoid!

I cannot fathom how bad Beat'n Groovy is. Pop'n Music is fun and good, yet they took everything that was good from it and shot it out behind the barn. Interface, characters, gone. The only difficulty is having to use the shitty 360 controller for a rhythm game.

Including Nekomata Master wasn't even enough to save this.

I just got in to playing Pop'n, and looking at Beat'n Groovy, it just looks like a Bemani knock-off of DJ Portable Max.

It's kind of upsetting that they're ruining a good thing here. Regardless, I'm probably gonna download the demo for this when it's released. I just hope Konami keeps the good music that Pop'n had. I'll be really upset if it doesn't.

Well, they partially did a decent job. However, after playing through all 9 songs (for the love of), I feel like I partially wasted 10 bucks. Got the 90,000 on all songs achievement, beat Endless, beat Arcade...

guess having played the real Pop'n Music and being able to do up to Level 29's really made this feel like a useless game, and I hate to say that, cuz the US finally got to see Starmine (Pop'n Mixxx) and a song by Nekomata Master, even though it's not Queen's Knights.

Sorry, Konami, it isn't the same. Better luck next time.


Anyway, Capcom, hurry the fuck up with Super Turbo HD Remix. TMNT:TiT still hasn't been announced, nor rumored, so I gotta play something to hold me over.

So I just tried the demo. WAY too easy.

They seriously just took the easy bits of Pop'N and decided to call it a game. And 9 songs? The only songs I'm happy about are Starmine, 100sec. Kitchen Battle, and Moon.

That's pretty much it.

Not worth my download.

So I noticed Portal: Still Alive was on the XBLA new arrivals. A trial game and the full version for 1,200 points. :)

downloaded Age of Booty the other day. Pretty fun game, took me a while to learn how to play it. Gotta love the atmosphere ;(

Still don't think I know how to play it 100% tho

Yeah, Sonic, Portal: SA is practically a waste of 15 bucks, and I only say this as an owner of the Orange Box. The only thing different about it are the achievements and maybe a couple new challenge maps. Other than that, it's the same damn game that you could beat in an hour. Only get this if you're a die-hard Portal fan, if you're a big-time achievement whore, or don't already have the Orange Box.

Next week is Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 2, and the week after that is Vigilante 8, and sometime shortly after that is Banjo Kazooie, so thankfully we might get the first couple of decent things in a few months. That'd be a nice change of pace considering the last 8 weeks or so.

Xbox Originals rather than XBLA but Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is now available for 1,200 points. Personally I think it's a better game than GTA:IV but I'm not sure it's so good I'd want to pay for it again.

WARNING: IF YOU USE THIS FILE YOU CANNOT CONNECT TO LIVE UNTIL THE 19th!!!!

I installed in my xbox360,I confirm it working.

-So here it is NXE dashboard version 7356 without avatars that why is small.
-The update works on any console from any region for both mod and unmod.
-Games backup also working.
-No it does not BRICK your console.
-HD installs = Faster loading times.
-will not ban it,will can't connect live until 19th nov.as same member got mail to use flash preview also can't connect live until 19th nov.

Download(only 7 MB):

to install simply unrar the file. then place the $systemupdate folder on the root of a thumbdrive or cd-r and then update your 360!

OK, I'm looking forward to the NXE (wanky name aside) because it looks like a big improvement over the current dashboard, and it adds stuff like support for group chat, but honestly, who is SO bothered that they're going to fuck with their system to use an unofficial release of it, requiring you to stay off of Live. Why? It's a couple of weeks away, have some bloody patience.

Also, this is for talk of XBLA games, there's a general thread for plain Xbox 360 discussion, so good going there Ryu.

Who's to say they won't ban you from the service outright forever on the 19th? Do you REALLY need to be using it 2 weeks early?

So V8's out.

So, it's really, REALLY faithful to the old games.

So I think I came a little bit.

So who else is gonna get it and play it tomorrow night with me?

The release of Vigilante 8 may be big news, but of far greater importance is that Yaris is no longer available for download. Why do the good ones always die young?

Oh god, I miss Yaris already. This is truly a tragedy which cannot be undone. :gonk:

Now I must download V8 immediately to console myself.

Be careful, Skills likes it. That could mean it's toxic poison for the rest of us.

Look man. When I like something, that means it's actually good. None of this borderline passable shit that you seem to be a fan of.

Whatever, all I know is that the more Mr. McInternets here denounces a game, the better the game actually turns out to be.

It is a little strange that the title of this thread hasn't been changed to "Official XBLA thread. OH GOD V8 IS SO BROKEN I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN TWO REFUNDS."
