The 360 thread!

Bulletstorm demo is up, but for some reason it's not showing on the main demo's area!
You have to go into the alphabetical bit & select B, then look in top-downloads section to download it.

[Felonious Feline]

Not convinced by Zeit (squared) - the time rewind mechanic seems flawed and totally contrived - I like my games to flow and rewinding all over the place just seems to make it too bitty for me

Agreed - didn't even get to the end of my first game on the demo before I switched it off. Dull.

Microsoft are having another one of their XBLA events soon, which includes the following:

February 16: Hard Corps: Uprising - 1200 Microsoft Points
February 23: Bejeweled Blitz - 800 Microsoft Points
March 2: Beyond Good & Evil HD - 800 Microsoft Points
March 9: Torchlight - 1200 Microsoft Points
March 16: Full House Poker - 800 Microsoft Points

For me BG&E will be an essential download, despite already owning the Gamecube version.

[Phineasfool]

I'll definitely get BG&E, but I'll get it on the PS3.

[fog]

Think I'll do likewise.

I played a load of the original Bejeweled on the 360, but I couldn't play anything like that now unless it was on a touchscreen device. Probably at a fraction of the cost too.

Bejeweled Blitz is currently 59p on the iPhone.

Yeah I already have it thanks. What I hadn't realised though was that it had been updated since the first release of Blitz making it a whole lot better.

Not long now.

[Gorecki]

Not long now.

meh. Looks a bit dull.

[venusian]

Not long now.

Looking forward to it so long as they've gone back to the simple madness of the N64/DC version rather than the Billion Button control system of the DS. Just couldn't be doing with learning a complex weapons systems for what should be a bonkers blast-em-up.

[llamaprotector]

Got Alan Wake for a tenner, just need to find some spare time between my two jobs to play it!

[Felonious Feline]

Bought Darwinia+ at 400msp having missed it when it came out on PC a few years back - and really enjoying it. Not 100% sure on what I'm doing, but it is one of those amazing time eaters... nearly missed an opticians appointment because of it!

Tempted by Alien Breed 1/2 as well

Any other recommendations?
