[360] Official XBLA thread. Complain about the new price points but buy the garbage anyway!

I think I said it earlier in this thread, but you can cheat for the 6 worms with one shot achievement. It counts if you go into the firing range, stack a bunch of worms on top of each other right at the edge of the water and then blow them all in. Several other weapon-based achievements count there too, like the one for using 10 Armageddons.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Did anyone else here pick up 'Splosion Man this week? I hadn't really looked into it before now, but after seeing that it was made by the same people who were behind The Maw I gave the demo a go and loved it. It's basically a simple platformer where all the face buttons cause you to explode. There's even an achievement for attempting to reconfigure the controls to do something other than exploding. I've played the first five levels so far, and it's already starting to get a little bit tricky with quickly rising ice water in level 5.

'Splosion Man is also a pretty good deal considering it's the only Summer of Arcade game that isn't 1200 points, has a 50 level single player (3 of which I assume are bosses since there are only 47 cakes to find), and an entirely different 50 level multiplayer both online and local. Plus, it's pretty fun watching scientists hemorrhage hams and steaks while you run around acting like Freakazoid on fire.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think I'll pick up Scrabble. I could be persuaded to get others if some GFF people were interested.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Rock, if you buy a 360 just for Ludo then I will buy it too.

I just picked up Scrabble, so hopefully more of you will too. There are no computer opponents, so if you play alone you just get to lay down tiles for a high score.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I picked up both Scrabble and Boggle, so I'm down for games. Fun enough for 400 points, which should always have been the normal price.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ha, I like the Act Your Age achievement. I always shot all the wine bottles every time I played the villa level anyway, so it's nice to know I'll be rewarded for it now.

FELIPE NO

I didn't have the same lag issues playing online as Skills, but co-op is definitely broken. When we tried it I couldn't move for 3 seconds or so, and then we got a synchronization error almost right after.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
