I think another lift was being an actual flat-out surprise delivered with a neat audio flourish that was going to get a big buzz in such a chart. If anything, it's an excellent justification for doing thing like that more often.

Have I missed something in the news? What's with the 7 old Sega classics that have just appeared on XBLA today? I assume this isn't just a one off and that a lot of Sega's back catalogue will be making it across?

Nice. :)

Which ones and how much? I'm just wondering since I've got that Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection which includes a load of games already.

As far as I can tell they're all on the UC already. So unless you're achievement hunting, you'll probably want to ignore them.

Rocket Riot is out on XBLA next week apparently. This has been on PartnerNet for absolutely ages - and is as mad as a box of frogs. Kind of a real-time Worms-like game, but everyone has a rocket launcher and a jetpack. Well worth a look.

Gunstar Heroes isn't on the UC, but the other ones are.

No new features, just twiddling stuff and general maintenance.

I'm gonna get it ... it looks good & will fill my Crackdown cravings for a while whilst waiting for Crackdown 2.

There is a video review here ... http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/9 ... 61009.html

I just got my copy of Prototype today (although for the PS3). Just played about an hour and so far it seems decent. So far the only annoyance I have is sometimes while running on buildings the camera will adjust and cause me to run in a slightly different direction, sometimes causing me to fall off the building. Otherwise seems like lots to collect with the web of intrigue, which is consuming certain individuals to find out exactly what happened to you. There are also a bunch of side mini games with the typical stuff like racing from waypoint to waypoint and killing so many things in a certain amount of time.

I'm bloody loving Outrun XBLA. It is pretty much all I've been playing the past few days. Especially since I discovered the button to change the camera angle to FP mode. Bonkers! :D Never played Outrun 2 or whatever it was on XBox. Lovely.

I'll be getting Prototype once I've finished up the excellent inFamous which has more than filled the Crackdown cravings.

If Prototype is half as good I'll be well happy.
