The only consolation is that the games so crap the radar wont bother you for long.

Is it a 2d game or 3d ?

2.5d. It's a lot like the recent Wing Commander game on XBLA. And it makes a lot of the same mistakes.

Look on the bright side, Exit is a class game.

The fighters look nice enough, the backgrounds look kinda bland. Hopefully will work better when they're animated.

That reminds me - someone - on this forum was playing Ace Combat 6 last night. Care to give us some impressions?

They're onto a bit of a loser with it unfortunately. I quite like the Udon character art, but it seems a lot of the more vocal capcommunity visitors don't. And then there's people expecting this to be a complete hidef remake with extra frames of animation thrown in to bring it up to sf3 levels, but it's simply a clever one for one replacement of the animation frames running on the original (well, the DC) code base.

Much like SF4, it doesn't really matter what they do, people will stick the boot in because they're expecting nothing short of perfection.

Meant to be.

Also, I believe there's a new table for PinballFX this week - Buccaneer - rumoured to cost 200 points. (If you've got the game there's a new achievement for it that already shows up on your profile on xboxlive.com.)

Edit: Even better - just found out the new PinballFX table should be free.

Sweet! - I've been waiting for some new PinballFX tables!

EDIT:
It'd be nice if they could licence some official pins from the manufacturers too...

Yeah - that would be top. I'd love a nice Machine: Bride of Pinbot table - that would be the business.

Oh no. I tried the Eternal Sonata demo and it's just beautiful, I mean truly gorgeous, but I really don't have time for an epic RPG with all the other great games around.

Don't worry, Eternal Sonata isn't too epic. It can be done in around 20 hours. Still a fun game though.

Noooooooooooo. The "epicness" was my justification for not getting it. That's another game for the list now
