The 360 thread!

I've had my eye on Brutal Legend for a long time, without really knowing what to expect. Having played through the demo... I love it! It's not revolutionary, it just entertained me thoroughly. If a game can do that for me, I'm sold.

[Flabio]

I've been quite sceptical about this downloadable free Fable2 thing for a while now, but it does genuinely seem like a lot of people who passed on the original release are having a nosy at it.

Of course, if they all go off and pick it off the second hand racks as a result it's just wasted money on our part, but I don't think that'll be the norm.

[The Captain]

I, too, was really impressed with Brutal Legend. It was far more likeable and entertaining than I was expecting - a lot of lovely elements put together with care, and it's truly excellent. Nothing revolutionary, but certainly worth a punt.

Has anyone else tried the Indie game Arkedo Series - 01 Jump?

It's beautiful. Retro-styled graphics and gameplay don't get better than this...

It's by the same people who made Nervous Brickdown and Big Bang Mini on the DS. It seems that "proper" commercial developers are joining in on Xbox Live Indie Games now - hopefully Jeff and Giles will compile an XBLIG version of GRR. It would be good even though we are probably dreaming.

Interseting, presumably this came along with the rebranding from community to indie.

Doubt they wrote GRR in XNA and C# to be honest...

Dreams don't have to follow the physical rules of the universe, or language/coding rules.

In my dream I can also upload my BlitzMax games to XBLIG.

There's been "commercial" developers on XBIG since the early days - Star Gaming Network being one such example, while there's also developers like Binary Tweed and Jamezila. I also seem to recall there's been at least one game which was transferred over to XBGI when it failed XBLA certification. Also, it depends on what you mean by "commercial" - a group of three French developers with two DS games to their name aren't exactly a challenge to EA! "Professional" may be a better description

In the end, XBIG is just another distribution channel with lower legal/commercial overheads and some technical restrictions. The main reason we've not seen more commercial items is simply down to the fact that XBIG games generally don't sell well. However, a few titles are starting to push up overall visibility (and hence sales), so it's likely that more and more commercial/professional games will start to appear...

This is annoying Tonight Neil wanted play Prince of Persia, the really old one. Before the update we were able to play the full game without being connected to X-Box live. Now he can't, He only play the trial version and can only play the full version if he is connect to live. But I own the fucking game. Why is X-Box live not aloud to play the full game without being connected to Xbox live. I owned the copy and paid for it and should be able to play the way I want, which is not on-line.
