The 360 thread!

An essential purchase. Really beautifully produced game that puts things like Sega's tatty Dreamcast ports to shame.

[PVB]

Yup, bought it after playing the first level in the demo.

It gives up cheevo points really easily too; 60 points for just playing through the tutorial and the first levels.

Thanks for the heads-up! Now downloading. This looks amazing.

[Mayhem]

Grabbed the download, will try it in due course...

Except they are actually PC ports afaik... more precisely the XBLA downloads are the PC versions.

No shit sherlock.

iloMilo's lovely though, isn't it? It could make it into my top 10 games of the year on charm alone.

The fact that the game's properly good and starting to make my brain hurt is almost a bonus. Lovely stuff.

[The Captain]

Yes, a beautiful little puzzle game. It's got the photo-like whimsy of LittleBigPlanet but a feel all of its own. Those dog-cubes crack me up just looking at them. Utterly charming without being at all cloying or cheesy. Marvellous.

[Jedburgh]

Too lovely. It's desperate, cynical, focus-grouped adorableness. Like being raped in the face by Yoshi while Lumas hold you down, giggling all the while.

Good game though.

[The Captain]

You see, I don't think it is like that - it doesn't smack of being focus-grouped to feck and back again to me. If it did I'd be the first to criticise it. It just seems really pleasant, in much the same vein as The Undergarden.

I have an extremely low tolerance for cute for cute's sake shite, but this hits the sweet spot. Or perhaps it's the tablets I'm on.

[Bubba]

I don't think I'm allowed to comment on over-cuteness, but I'm really enjoying ilomilo - been playing it on Partnernet in the office over lunch since they posted it a few weeks back. Lovely stuff.

Cheers

Major Nelson article about a new Xbox Live Rewards Points system:

http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/12/ ... ogram.aspx

It’s a brand new way for Xbox Gold LIVE members* to earn Microsoft points for doing things they already do on Xbox LIVE. Sign up and start earning Microsoft Points by watching movies and sports, playing games and more. Plus, when you sign-up for Xbox LIVE Gold, or renew your membership you’ll earn even more. Sound good? We’re officially kicking off the program later today, but if you want to get in early hit the link below.

*Free (not Gold) members can also get points too, just not as many ways to get them.

Sounds like the program Sony has in beta right now for the PS3.

What would be a a good game to buy for a gun-obsessed brother-in-law with an XBox 360? He's a bit of a military nut, goes Air Softing most weekends, so I'd like to get him a decent game with 'realistic' weaponry. Any genre, shooter, strategy, whatever. Any ideas that aren't COD?
