I loved the PC online Tetris. That was fun. Should've done that.

Apparently Tetris Splash is upto the wazoo with purchaseables. (Oh and Carcassone has the Kings & Barons expansion now available).

Is there a dedicated Turd Polisher add-on pack? Good money thrown after bad. The best thing about Tetris Splash is that it the demo is soon over. I can't imagine buying the game, let alone more stuff for it.

No wonder Yak has his darker moments, with shite like this commanding 800 points.

It's one of the most cynical things I've seen on XBLA so far. I wondered why it had the aquarium theme when I first heard about it, then when I went to download the trial I saw there were a shedload of single fish add-on packs, and it kinda made sense. Admittedly they're fairly cheap at 50 points a pop, but I think it's the fact that they're all there on day of release that makes it look so grasping. It's a shame they didn't spend less time on making fishies, and more on making a decent version of Tetris though, because I really didn't find much to like about it.

Or alternatively, perhaps ditch the shonky Tetris game entirely, bundle a few of the fishy packs in and sell it cheap as a virtual aquarium...

My god - can't anyone make a decent kids movie tie-in game?

Rattatouile was dire as was Shrek 3, but Bee Movie is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Sure, it looks really pretty - but what's the point when the gameplay is basically 'push left, push up, press x, press a'. My 6 year old daughter would quickly get bored of this so they can't even claim that it's because it's aimed at kids.......

I'm told the game for Pixar's 'Cars' is quite passable.

There are younger children than 6 though.

Action game wise finding something my 4 year old can cope with is tricky. Mentally there isn't a problem finding stuff, she was completing Solitaire at 2 on the PDA....

My mystical Tarot cards suggest that we'll be seeing Puzzle Quest on XBLA this week and that it will set us back a stonking 1200 points.

If you havn't played it in one of it's previous incarnations, it's definitely worth the points. It's hella addictive. (And probably less buggy on XBLA).

I have it on the DS, but I'll probably buy this one too. No more squinting.
