Wonder if Eidos is pissed they had to rush out a demo in the face of the reviews only to see Microsoft hold it hostage so they can sell a few Gold memberships.

Dark Messiah's also gold-only. And Frontlines is rather dire. Even on the hardest difficulty, I feel no adrenaline surge or fear of death.

No, their holding all 'new' content back from Silver members for a week. (Demos\Trailers etc).

Best thing about Tempest is that is was so bad I wanted to Play SG again.

I hope others come to that conclusion and download SG..

Yup, assume from now on that some demos will be Gold only for the first week.

The demo seems no better graphically than Stranger's Wrath on the old Xbox, IMHO.

Anyone else notice Live playing silly buggers tonight?

I'm trying to play some SG and keep getting logged out of Live, then it won't let me back in.

When I test the connection, it fails at Xbox Live, but according to the Xbox.com status page it's working fine.

Edit:

Just read the Xbox.com forums and others are reporting the same thing, which started yesterday apparently.

It's not affecting everyone though, just some.

Support are aware of it, but don't know when it'll be fixed.

The wiki page says April 2008, but the Capcom site hasn't got any mention of it, even in it's Coming Soon section, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

I had the problem earlier when I noticed my son had turned the XBox on and when I went to sign in it wouldn't let me. Problem vanished after rebooting the console but still, weird.

I gave up on the demo after about 15 minutes because of that.

I thought I noticed somewhere in the main console settings the other night that you could tell it things like that and it would automatically do it for every game....

Yeah, you're right. I didn't know that.

It's under:

Your Profile -> Game Defaults -> Action -> Y-Axis

And set it to "Inverted."

Seems to work in the game too. Thanks for that!

...though it would be nice if Ubisoft threw that option in the menu before the final game comes out.

Give the gift of Points

If you are looking for a last minute gift idea, why not give the gift of Points? The Microsoft Points team made the little gadget below to do just that. Assuming your browser settings are properly configured, you should see a little Xbox LIVE points card logo below that when you click on it will pop open the Microsoft Points site to sign in with your Windows LIVE ID. Once you do that, it will return you to this page where you will see your current points balance. You can then click on it to to purchase additional points OR (and this is new) you can gift points to someone else. Currently, this is available for US accounts only. You do need to know the persons Windows LIVE ID for the gifting. I have asked the team to add the ability to gift points based on Gamertag, and they said they'll work on that for the future, but for nowâ€¦you'll need to know the recipients Windows LIVE ID. Anyway, I thought you guys may want to try if you have someone on your list you want to send some Points to this Holiday season.

Please bring this to the UK and let me choose to buy specific (space giraffe) live arcade games for friends

FS, I thought I was going to play SG today, but I get disconnected from XBLA all the time. It seems to happen with all my Live games.

Yup, it's happening again (or still not fixed), as people are still reporting problems over on the Xbox.com forums.

Had no issues myself the other night. It must depend on what servers you're talking to.
