That's usually the ones <40", like my 32" one. :)

Hah I just came on to post exactly that. It's the worst game I've seen on the 360 by a country mile. It doesn't get a single thing right.

Screwjumper is a massive failure. Can't work out if it is more or less hateful than ShreK & Roll, though. . .

At least Shrek n Roll can pass off as a half decent game for the kids. It feels like one of the mini games in my brothers old Rugrats games. Daylight robbery at 800 points but it has some merit.

Screwjumper is just plain awful in every way.

This is probably not true, it reads like a wish list, but...

Among the interesting bits is the addition of a dedicated XBLA blade (with Flash game support, no less).

I really wanted to hate Shrek & Roll - but it's a nice little minigame. Probably worth 400 points.

Screwjumper is wank though... I've played quick and dirty Amiga PD games which looked better and were more fun

Have to say the same. Not very impressed with the single player.

Crap, I was looking forward to trying Undertow tonight. XBLA has been rubbish recently.

Well make sure you try the demo and don't take mine and Phineasfool's word for it as it's getting good scores elsewhere. I've tried it again and still don't see how mind. Maybe it's all in the multiplayer.
