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

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

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wow, a Metalocalypse game is heading to XBLA and PSN.

From Gamespot.com

Konami announced today it will publish an Adult Swim adaptation based on the music-themed show Metalocalypse. Developed by Frozen Codebase, the action-based Metalocalypse: Dethgame will open on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network in the fourth quarter of 2009. Series cocreator Brendon Small is behind the new game, which will allow players to become roadies ("Klokateers") for the show's central characters--"the world's most brutal Norwegian heavy metal band," Dethklok.

The protagonist must repel an onslaught of frenzied mutant fans who threaten the lives of the musicians and the "metal faithful," with a handful of minigames thrown in as well. Combat will be set to the band's tracks from Dethklok: The Dethalbum, with three new songs from the upcoming Dethklok 2. As with all Dethklok songs, the fictional band's new tracks will be composed by Small and three other musicians.

"We have gone above and beyond and found the biggest nerds in the industry to help develop and deliver what will without a doubt be the most successful downloadable cartoon death metal game in recorded history," Small said. "I defy anyone to find another death metal cartoon that can claim the same."

I don't know what's more crazy...this or the South Park Tower Defense game, but I'm surprised that Konami of all companies is publishing this. Brutal.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It was fun at first, but then Chris Cashman announced during one of the sessions that this was the Beta (which I knew) and that prizes weren't actually being given away (which I did not know). It didn't matter because I hadn't won anything yet, but for some reason that just killed my interest in the game for now.

It's a lot of fun and I like how you're competing against three others so you actually feel like you win at something compared to the thousands of other users competing with everyone else. It's nearly impossible to come out as one of the top 3 from the crowd though, because the way to do it is to mash one of the answer buttons before the answer even appears so you get more points for it. It's like you're almost guessing even if you know the answer to the question.

I might consider getting it in December when it finally launches.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well I'll be damned, thanks for the info nutty. I might get back in on this.

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