That 360 D-pad is going to be painful when SF2 comes out...

I know, your 200k+ score I noticed yesterday is shit.

:wink:

My best ever game at this was playing a 2 player with Sickboy at Retrokade, think I topped 90k which was easily the best I've ever gotten. You cant beat and original cab though.

Just incase anyone didn't know already, or even cares, Epic have announced that there'll be a BIG announcement next week, probably/obviously relating to Gears of War. http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=979

The plot thickens slightly as some of the forum members have started to receive messages over xbox live from a certain MFenix:
http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=1036

Could be some bored fan titing about or it could be something related to the announcement, who knows, or even cares. I just hope the release date isn't that far away as I'm itching for a game of this.

If it was someone unofficial I dont think Epic would be quite so cagey about it. I'm currently gambling on a ILB style event.

Does anyone have any info as to what is next for XBLA? I'am guessing that its gona be Lumines Live, however both pac man, and Street Fighter 2, have a release date of summer, with lumines having a release date of july.

I'am basing this info on the page at http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/livearc ... efault.htm

Thanks for any info you can share.

I am kinda hoping that Lumines Live is the week after that though, but I doubt it will be.

His alien fingers find the 360 pad difficult to use, compared with the original arcade controls on his home planet. :wink:

Rocky - I'm on holiday next week, so you'll have an extra four days practice.

I fully expect a sound spanking on my return.


And, when we play SF2, I expect you to beat me, first time.

Time to bust out the home made arcade stick it seems. :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
