Yeah if you're lucky it'll last 2 weeks.

Make sure you play co-op on Gears. It's a whole different and infinitely better experience.

Seems like a solid game, the action's a bit repetitive early on, playing on hardcore and about 1.5 hours in. Let's see how it turns out..

Played single player gears is merely a good shooter with some great action sequences. Played multi player on hardcore it is truly fantastic though and really something special.

Cheers

Am I slightly insane for being more interested in Yie-ar-kung-fu?

No, I'm more interested in that too. Unless I'm insane as well?

Was Yie-ar-kung-fu ever any good or were we just impressed cause it was one of the first karate beat um up's to have weapons.

I remember it being a Novelty Button masher with very slow controls, quite surprised its been chosen for xbox live. Hell, why not IK+ and barbarian instead?

Yeah, I never thought Yie Ar was a very good game, certainly not in the same league as IK and Fist.

Well, I've downloaded them both, and tried 'Yie Ar' first. For some reason I can't understand why they went with the 'portrait' version instead of making a 'landscape' version of it; it is more true to the original, but why do you use only half of the screen?

I tried the original graphics after being all paranoia that the collision detection is different with the enhanced graphics, but for some reason the 'original sounds' sound more horrible than the Spectrum bleepy version

. And I remember the arcade version (and I think the MAME version) sounding much better than the 360 'original' version. Oh well, I don't mind listening to the 'enhanced version'.

Now I've played it many many times on the real thing, and on MAME, but is it just my impression that they altered some of the AI? Because I was attacking Nunchu with low kicks and at one point the guy was only hopping around and dodging my blows

instead of eating my foot and fist... But it's nice to see that some of the old tricks (Feedle + Punch = Perfection) still work. I got stuck on Club after playing twice, but I have the impression that it's more the fault of the controller than of the game...
But I remember that Club, Tonfa and Blues were always the showstoppers for me...

And the game has some pretty neat achievements...

As for Bomberman Live, WHY haven't I ever played a Bomberman game before in my life? Because it's insanely fun

. I tried an online 8-player match and it worked marvelously, no lag at all! I still blow myself up about 90% of the time, but I guess I'll get the hang of it...

And is the 'Steve Snake' in the credits 'our Snakey'? If so, way to go man! It is such a polished game

. Well done!

Have they finally made it playable?
