I want System Shock 1 & 2 on XBLA. Especially as BioShock is doing so well. If it were up to me, now would be a perfect time to release 'em.

It looks like Rez will be making it's way to XBLA eventually.

Lets not forget the other small announcement yesterday - Ninja Gaiden 2 for 360.

(And Ikaruga got confirmed for XBLA as well)

Only a 1000 gamescore though. In some respects it could do with more - given the sheer size of game(s) included.

Played COD4 beta, Its not bad. movement and weight seems right and gun handling etc. The Maps seem just large enough too.
But maybe i liked it because i did so well

My initial impressions aren't great. I played Sega Rally to death in the arcade back in the day (cost me a fortune at a quid a pop). I also played the Saturn version to death when it originally came out and a couple of years ago bought a Saturn of Ahchay to play it to death all over again. This new one doesn't feel like Sega Rally to me - I've only had a few races but it isnt grabbing me the way I hoped it would. The cars feel very twitchy and at least initially, out of control. I suspect this will improve as I learn the tracks and foibles of the vehicles although I doubt I'll ever be able to throw them about the way I could the Celica, Delta and Quattro in the original.

That said it does feel better than DC iteration, but not by much.

Edit: ok I've played this some more and I'm starting to love it - there are still things I dont like but it is definitely a grower. I reckon it will come into its own with the 6 player online races and hopefully it will have a TT mode.

Sounds EXACTLY what I want from a racing game.

If only I didn't have to prepare for a massively important demo for tomorrow.

EEEK. Why I am here now!
