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.
Yeah, same here really. Tried the demo, but wont be buying the full version. It's kind of funny and nicely animated. Just not my bag (baby).
Soz.
Still.... Galaga next week.
Good-oh!

I take it you mean the notices that are dotted about, you have to read?
We don't have a HD TV and I read them fine

Yeah, I've only got a 22" (or is it) 24" wide screen telly and the text seemed to blur together, mostly down to my poor telly I'm sure but the angular cartoon style font doesn't help. I could read it though, just took a bit of leaning forward coupled with the occasional squint.
I bought the full game of Cloning Clyde and I'm loving it!
Just my sort of game

The text was really hard to read on my 28inch non HD telly, but as you play further into the game you do not need to read any more of them.
I've bought the game and am really enjoying it. This is what live arcade is for, I would never pay £30 but happy to pay £6.40. Its the first new side on platform game that Ive played since the 16 bit era, other than rubbish on mobiles.
Its great that it can be played as co-op as im always after games that I can play with my girlfriend.
Yeah, after the MTU problems had been sorted last night I downloaded the trial game for CC. Really enjoyed it, and promptly coughed the 800 points to unlock it.
Looking forward to Galaga, but what I really really want is a kick-ass side-scroll shooter like ThunderForce III (which I actually completed on my Megadrive back in the day).

I would pay 400 points for Axelay from the snes which is front and side on scrolling shooter
Yep, had that too, and completed it. I also played Thunderforce IV on MD but it lacked ... something.
But after Xenon II there wasn't really any vertical-scroller interest left in me - it would have to be something VERY special today to get me back into that genre. Even Axelay was touch-and-go - it was only because it was so jaw-droppingly gorgeous that I bought it really.
I'd love to see something like Jets 'n' Guns on 360, which I really enjoyed. Or Scramble 360. Ooh. Idea. Rotating tunnels that slowly curve around on themselves as you fly through. Hmm.........
Very nice! Looks like some serious burnination going on there.
We're also getting the old Alien Hominid game. Those of us in the USA never got the XBOX or GBA version (though we did get it on Cube!), so it's nice to see it on another platform. There's a stupidly bitchy line about it at Joystiq today. Some people can't be happy with anything!
