Hi everyone,
I had an idea for a project and I'd like your feedback and advice. I'm doing pretty well at S.G, and am in the process of trying to get the best possible score (for my ability, anyway) on each level. While the scoring system in the game is very useful, it doesn't quite tell me ...

I managed to get Garantido (or was it Caprichoso? - 9X multiplier on 5 levels running) by accident during my latest attempt at a good Hardcore score (ended with 250 mill. Ended at level 85...that heart shaped one) I just need to get Long Neck Long March now, but without some practice on key levels ...

Thanks - that was good advice! I hadn't noticed that the zapper was always in the same place, but now I can learn how to comfortably sweep and control most of the grid. I managed to pass the level, but not with 3 lives yet, so I'm still not done with it.

I'm going to Australia for Xmas for a week ...

Hi everyone,
I've hit a conceptual roadblock with Level 79, the connected figure eight with a zapper, flowers, boffins and Bad Feedback Monsters that shoot after leaving the web; I can't get me 'ead round it. No matter which way I look at it, it's brown trousers time.

I've managed to grasp all the ...

I've been lucky this year, and last year. I live in South Florida and it's the end of hurricane season; the threat is gone for another six months. While the rest of the USA is getting hit with snowstorms and hurricane-force winds, we're having bright, sunny, breezy days in the upper 70s (mid ...

I assume you can get a ballpark idea by looking at the number of entries in the leaderboard. Every purchased copy gets an entry there, yes?

I'll give that a try, thanks :) I increased my highscore to 144 mill. yesterday and moved up to #68 in the all-time. One thing - why does that score not show up in the Hardcore list? I have an old piss-weak score in that table.

Zappers are teh new evil I'm now facing - I reached level 68. Strangely ...

Still trying for that one. I've sort of lucked into getting most of my other achievements. I'm just playing and suddenly - bang - I've got a 99, or an Arkleseizure, but the Ewige eludes me.

Which level did you use? Is there a best choice for this achievement? My initial thought would be one the ...

That's a good point, but I think it could apply to future Llamasoft games too.

What about putting two tutorials in? A basic one for "hardcore" players who want to figure out strategy on their own, and a "spoiler" one that gives up a lot more information, perhaps with actual moving examples on screen. Like it could show an example of letting grunts through while shooting enough ...

Those before me said everything I wanted to, only better, so I'll restrict myself to a couple of minor facts that might put things in a different light.

Re: Frogger - XBLA is widely seen as a casual gaming outlet, so yeah, games that trigger fond memories and "let's buy this game for little Dakota ...

Hi everyone,
I still managed to set a personal best (49 mill.!) with the sound off for most of the game. It cut out during the second bonus round....can't remember the round number, though :( It happened right after the 360 popped up one of those "finished downloading a demo" messages; about 30 ...

I bought an Xbox 360 this week and it arrived last night. Being a loyal Yakker the first thing I did was buy Space Giraffe and start playing it. Wow - brilliant fun and I could feel the new circuits popping in my brain as I learned what to do.

You've heard all that before, but here's my twist on ...

Behold!! The Source!!
