Was hoping to have finished my third playthrough by now, so may have to plough on with that first before getting the DLC.

As long as you still have access to the Normandy you can play the DLC.

So you can get a core and a game for under 200 quid. Hmm, I wonder what game they might have in mind for the shops to bundle with it

Brain Challenge and Bliss Island this week on XBLA. Doesn't look like I'm missing much while my 360 is out of action. The last thing I want is a brain training game and the PC version or Bliss Island was a complete pile.

The Brain Challenge thing is utter gash judging from PartnerNet experience, and Bliss island is one of the least fun things I've ever played. Cheap week. Nice.

Werent pompom going on about how Bliss had such a new gameplay mechanic that it would need patenting?

If you've got a 360 Creators Club sub you could take a look at Biology Battle. Very much in the geometry wars with knobs on variant. Seemed to be more playable than Mutant Storm:Empires.

The Mrs is playing the Bliss Island demo right now and says that it's the most dull thing she's ever done.

I think that about sums up my reaction to it.

What on earth hapened to PomPom? They were one of the most brilliant indie developers out there for a while and now it's all fallen apart.
