Hmm - yeah. I just checked on the retail 360 and they're not appearing, but they're appearing on the Dev-kit. Maybe they're only out in the US or something :( Sry for the false alarm (but we should be getting them in the UK very soon I hope)

Stuff can appear on the devkit weeks before it appears on the real xbox live. This stuff has to be tested in a proper xbox live environment before it goes out after all...

Meanwhile those old games make me want to pick up a real arcade stick.

The DOA4 ones are still sitting on the shelves over here. Hmmm...

I think MS want to give you plenty of time to enjoy UNO before they release any more games.

Read somewhere that they're having a lot of network play issues with SF2. Can't remember where though.

It's allegedly "on course for a Q2 2006 delivery".



So seemingly...."very soon".

Played SF2 on Gametap (http://www.gametap.com) using a 360 controller on my PC, to get an idea of how it'll be on Live.

It was very, very difficult. Couldn't make the mental adjustment required to make the "Strong" punches and kicks by using the index finger buttons.

I know I can re-map the buttons, but I'd still have a hard time. Nothing will ever beat the Genesis/Megadrive 6 button controller. Can't bring myself to buying a dedicated arcade-style controller for something like this.

I'm slow like that. :?

Hurrah! I'm going to kick ass with my home made arcade stick then :D
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain
But the rain all turned to piss
