At 1,200 points though it'll have to be pretty special for me to buy the full version.

Would be bitchin' if a couple of us got a game together. As fun as the demo is, 1200 is pretty costly. I can definitely wait for a discount for me to buy it.

If this screenshot is to be believed, the game might have some 'reward' to offer for having Crackdown 2 and/or PD Zero saves on the same HD/memory card. And yes, I'm glad to hear that Counter-Operative is back (and still wonder why nobody else ever tried to duplicate the concept...)

I honestly think it's a replacement for that Perfect Dark Game Pack GBC attachment, whatever the hell that was, since it unlocked quite a few cheats when you had it (All Guns was one of them).

I understand Perfect Dark Zero being there, but Crackdown 2's pretty puzzling.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Microsoft own Rare and the IP for Crackdown, it's a tenuous link granted but it's about the only connection I can think of.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

is it possible to download the leak anywhere?

Unfortunately, he removed the link to the developmental build. It was on Megaupload (I was trying to find it earlier, still trying.). If I find it, I'll link it right away. Need a dev-kit on your 360 to use it, though.

As for the connection, thanks for pointing that out Shin, completely forgot.

I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone at 1200 MS points. I bought it and yes the game is fun but there's barely anyone playing it online, plus there's not much variety in the stages. There's only 3 different cities and six normal stages per city where you kill the same big enemies and one boss fight stage. I haven't tried those other two multiplayer modes, though. The game has potential, maybe they can improve it when some DLC comes out.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

After Burner Climax has been announced for XBLA and PSN (though no date set yet), and since there are hardly any XBLA games that came out in japan and not in the rest of the world, there's a good chance we'll be seeing it, too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And it'll be only 800 MS points! Now where's that Raystorm HD..

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

For those interested, I ran down the announcement trailer and a playthrough of the arcade version...

• 1/3
• 2/3
• 3/3

...as well as some screens. Hopefully AM2 will toss in some more planes as unlockables...

--
Some trawling turned up the arcade game's official site, which includes such information as a complete rogues' gallery and stage maps. One feature that's hopefully being carried over as well is the ability to fly with a wingman.

As for unlockables, from the screenshots on the console version's page there is an EX Option menu which is home to a variety of optional tweaks. This menu itself is apparently unlocked by downing the XB-70 which appears in Canyon Grandeur (reference 2:57 in this video); with the various tweaks having their own unlock criteria.

For those of you who didn't pick up TMNT: Turtles In Time - Re-Shelled for 800 points, this week there's a sale going on for the rest of the week and that game is up for 400 points now! Marvel vs CAPCOM 2 and Invincible Tiger are also on sale but those are 800 points.

I also picked up Chime. That was probably a bad idea because I'm already running on little-to-no sleep as it is and that game is so fucking entrancing and addicting that, really, I may as well have developed a fucking meth habit. Granted, this particular habit only set me back a Lincoln and shit, so it's cool. Should keep me busy until Bioshock 2 comes in the mail.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Perfect Dark's going to be out in March, and it'll cost you 800 points.

FELIPE NO

Whoa, PD has lots of achievements for an XBLA title.

Best part is how they all seem fairly reasonable. Also, the icons for mission completion vaguely implies that the cheese might actually do something this time around...

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

Hey Guys,

There was this XBLA game shown in a clip in last years E3 conference. I was wondering if anyone knows the title to that game.

It was more or less of a spaceship shooter on a 2D field. Think of pixel junk shooters except you are controlling a UFO. From what I remember it was mostly black and white, not many colours if any at all. I know the terrain and the UFO you were controlling were black. The landscape was jagged and you seemed to be going down into deep caverns shooting what I think were alien objects...Yea I know it sounds bizzare.

Anyone remember anything along the lines of this? Would really help me out cause that game looked so awesome lol.

Thanks in advance.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes!!!!!!!!! Omg that's the game! thank you so much Can't wait till it comes out.

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

Did they actually show ITSP in an XBLA presentation? Cause I thought this'd been a proof of concept in order to try and get funding for the game proper.

How ya doing, buddy?

I know I saw it during E3 in a montage of whats to come soon. I spent forever trying to find out what it was. Here's hoping that it comes out soon, on their blog they mentioned that they are in talks with a publisher and will have big news sometime in March.

How ya doing, buddy?

You know what's also awesome?

Spelunky XBLA screens.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention; reasonable avatar awards in this vein would also include a flight suit and aviator jacket. I also hope they brought over the co-operative mode...

Speaking of avatar wear, I've always wondered how come they don't have a 'package deal' for those outfits that come in multiple parts. For instance, the ST Tools Mk.3 suit and helmet cost, respectively, 320 and 160 MSP; why not also make available the option to purchase both items for, say, 400 MSP?

FELIPE NO

I actually won a free code for PDXBLA, but gave it to a friend due to my 360 getting an E74. I'll be getting a new one today at least, and I'll be playing this for a damn long while. A few quick things to note about PDXBLA.

-All weapons, levels and bodies/heads are unlocked for Combat Simulator use.

-Having a Perfect Dark Zero save unlocks the old Game Boy Color Transfer Pack cheats. (Cloaking Device, Hurricane Fists, R-Tracker, All Guns in Solo)

-There are two unlockable avatar awards: A shirt, and an Elvis doll.

-There are in-game achievements ("awards") for various things, such as getting all bronze/silver/gold in the firing range.

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

Things I've noticed.

Online in laggy. Coop is an absolute DISASTER. Haven't tried counter-op yet but I imagine it's just as unplayable.

Regular online seems janky. It will pause or lag every 20 seconds or so for about a second, and it's relatively consistent like that. It'll seem fine for a little bit and then it'll lag and trip up for a moment.

It's actually pretty sad. It ruins the fun of the multi, and I highly doubt it'll be patched anytime soon.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Have you tried Challenges? Those were the only things 3 of us did tonight, and didn't notice any of those problems. I noticed the pause literally once or twice in about 3 hours of play.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
