It's probably a bad choice of words... They'll come out here too I guess.

Meanwhile:

NinjaBee announced today they will be bringing a second title to Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360. Cloning Clyde is a 3D adventure and puzzle game that NinjaBee claims will bring new meaning to the word "schizophrenic".

Cloning Clyde makes full use of Xbox 360â€™s advanced processing, graphics, sound, and unique Xbox Live online game service features including achievements, leaderboards, online play, and more!

In addition to a single-player story and individual challenging scenarios, enjoy multiplayer split-screen or online play, both co-op and vs. modes, with friends from all over the world.

Edit: BTW - do Arcade updates / news belong in this thread?

I was hoping it'd be just for actual stuff to d/l, not for news and such. Use the DK thread for that please.

Just from the screenshots, looks like a silly game like Space Station Silicon Valley on the N64, which was GREAT! Looking forward to this one ... will need to read more about it later...

Also, Final Fantasy XI trailers are up.

SSSV was awesome. The fact that it opened with a love scene with a sheep called Flossy was cool enough. But it just remained uniformly excellent throughout.

There's also an update for Burnout Revenge.

When you next load up the game (and are connected to Live) it'll automagically get the update/patch.

Bankshot Billiards took the piss, IMO, for wanting 3x as much dosh as Geometry Wars for a ropey 2D pool game.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I haven't got the game, just reporting from Major Nelson's web site.

Edit: Here's all the update details:

Here is the OFFICIAL CHANGELOG from a developer on the Bankshot Billiards 2 forum:

"Here are the items we have addressed in the patch:

-Ranked live games causing a freeze or crash

-Player match games now show the other players aiming aid level

-Default time for ranked mode games was changed to 60 seconds

-When a timer expires in a live game the following player has ball in hand

-Shot panel now shows the buttons that must be held down to activate the various features (english, spin, power)

-200 games achievement now given away when 200 games are played instead of won (this is inline with the description now)

-Single player leaderboards cap the display to hours now instead of a single hour

-Music tracks would not sync to defaults when a client quit (in certain conditions)

-3D camera modes (so this is only a 2D game, right?)

The 3D modes are accessed via the D pad during gameplay:

Up: Reverts to the top view camera

Down: Static camera (zooms out from location of shot)

Left: Dynamic camera (follows action)

Right: Cue ball camera (use the left analog stick to rotate around the cue ball and zoom in / out)

Don't say I don't do anything for you Mark.
