The 360 thread!

Turok looks nice (a given nowadays what with the Unreal engine I guess), but being knocked on your arse every minute is frankly annoying as hell (trying to dodge invariably sees Turok jumping on the spot ). Nice 3rd persony bits, though.

Not as fun as scaring the shit out of the Primagen hordes in Turok 2 with the Cerebral Bore.

Am I the only one finding Boogy Bunnies really addictive? It seems to have that 'one more go' quality that Bust-a-Move had.

I am very much liking the look of this little beauty coming soon on XBLA

Apologies if already posted

That looks like very big bags of ace.

Agreed - that's utterly lovely.

In a similar vein there's also a revamped Loderunner on the way, which has also made a nice leap into 3d:

And more importantly that video has a clip of Rez HD too!

Great to see a remake of Bionic Commando that looks really cool. I thought it was going to be some 3D fest when I first read about it, and my heart sank so I was please to see the footage.

Lode Runner's looking pretty slick too.

Aces, exactly my cup of tea

That looks fucking ace!

Boogie bunnies is just about unplayable for me, my crap colour blindness means I cant tell some of them apart quick enough. I can see when they are right next to one another but not to make a split-second decision when they are building up fast..

Same issue here, they need some kind of symbol on them for people like us.

Stupid games!

Man, that is a pretty fundamental error to make. I thought MS's testing cert process would have sorted that out pretty early on.

What a drag.

I don't think colour blindness awareness forms part of the technical requirements checklist. For a puzzle game it's pretty damn essential really, but there's nothing there to force it as far as I know.

As for Bionic Commando, I actually like the look of both the XBLA remake, and the Lost Planet engine powered full on reimagining. The full on one looks sort of Crackdowny...

It should be part of it IMHO. As most (but not all) colour blind people are male. If you're annoying 4% of your userbase thats 4% less sales.

I'm not colour blind so I haven't even got that excuse but I find it difficult to see exactly where your launched bunny will land. Well not difficult exactly but it takes a little longer to work out than it should in a game like this. Some faint grid lines or better visual clue would help a lot. Too much emphasis on the bunnies and not enough on making it playable IMO.

Oh great. I thought it was wank and surely anyone that wanted it will already have it? That's effectively going to cost Microsoft next to nothing.
