Hmm. Defender is a tough one. Personally I'm not sure I'd want to see anything done to it. It'd be like George Lucas fucking with Star Wars all over again.

Nothing is worth the effort you put into it.

But unlike George Bigneck Lucas, they'll package an unfucked-with version with the "enhanced" download. All of the Midway games thus far have been nicely converted. I always liked Minter's Defender 2000 (maybe I'm one of the few, here), and would love to see a tripped-out take on this old game. It's honestly the only game that makes me want a Jaguar again, since Tempest is available elsewhere.

That's the beauty of a free demo. Most of the functionality, none of the cost.

Is that right PVB? I'm sure I heard somewhere that they deliberately avoid releasing content on Fridays in case it all goes pear shaped (obviously they don't want to be trying to fix it over the weekend).

I'm sure they made an exception in the case of the Prey Demo because it was the friday prior to a holiday weekend (July 4th) so they wanted the demo 'out there' before the long weekend.

I'm not too fussed about Table Tennis to be honest - but then that's probably something to do with the fact i've already bought it.......

Updates/patches maybe, but (IIRC) I've read somewhere on Major Nelson.com that demos are usually released on Fridays.

I played through the demo and now I want it! :D

That looks like it'll be an awesome game

Played through the demo, then instantly spooged the 800 points on it. It's fantastic :D There was one point in the demo where I just knew I had to get it - and that point involed sheepies :)

Might not be everyones cup of tea though, but it's got that lemmings kind of feel to it, with puzzles to solve and some wonderful grinning moments in it.

Cheers

Yeah the dangers of having a card associated with my Live account are becoming more and more obvious...



...As shortly afterwards I bought Outpost Kalooki as well :oops: ;)

:lol: I can relate to that!!

Bought some points to get Frogger the other day and then ended up splashing out (oo-er) on Mutant Storm and Wik.

I think i've pretty much picked up every XBLA game now - apart from Outpost Kalooki - that's not really my bag!

Edit: It's the introduction to the story, so don't watch if you'd rather wait. Doesn't really tell you anything new, but apparantly is the first in a mini series of "webisodes"...

Played the Cloning Clyde demo a few weeks ago and just couldn't get into it. I suspect it's just not my 'thing'.

Yeah I just gave the demo a spin and its not my cup of tea either, also found it really hard to read the notice boards to on my telly, I'm sure that's not a problem for HD TV owners though.

I'm trying to get excited about the street fighter release but I've been playing it a bit through zsnes recently and it's starting to infuriate me all over again. I'll give the demo a go though, if only to see how it plays on the 360 pad.
