Three games for XBLA this week?

Three games for XBLA this week?

Microsoft proudly announces that we would be blessed with three games on XBLA this week, and while it's technically true it's only 2 releases like usual now. On one side we'll get the much awaited Catan, and on the other the remakes of Centipede/Millipede. Lots of screens inside.

I hope this dual release schedule keeps up. Seems like they have a steady flow of games coming through now. I'll probably give Catan a try though I've no idea how to play it!

really good to see microsoft keeping up with 2 releases per week, it puts much more emphasis on the xbla going forward, something it has lacked for a while to me

and while glad to see more games being added, neither of these interests me a great deal

I hope that having 2 games in one week won't make there be more weeks without an XBLA release in.
It's nice to have more than 1 a week though as you can choose which you like better :)

Catan looks interesting, although I've never played it myself...
Centi- & Millipede seem pretty boring though, good they're bundled for 400 MSP

Is it me, or that Boat icon and Shield icon in Catan screens indicate that it might include the expansions (Or they being released as seperate DLC, ugh)

"Shield" icon looks like it's for Discovery cards. Dunno about the boat...

'3... is the magic number'

Centipede and Millipede could well do with a rollerball control.

Old arcade games aren't better on a new console. They should stop doing that, because I don't like it. And I'm the only one that's important. :)

I bought Pinball FX last week..

XBL Arcade is a great thing for the more casual crowd.. It just needs more original games and more variety in games aswell next to the classics..

Catan looks good.. Now they need to make Risk and Monopoly etc.. or 3D Chess, or Stratego.. Plenty of classic boardgames to go..

Tbh the games on XBLA are a programming joke, i've bought Worms, Street Fighter and dig dug, the latter being the only one where the computers programming hasn't been so poor that it can figure out exactly what you are doing or hit you with pin point accuracy, its a joke.

MS is doing a great job with XBLA at the moment. Catan sounds/looks very interesting. Love that theres now multiple titles every week. I hope they can keep this up in the future.

What's up?
  • Slabs
    Slabs Drogba is a bit mental isn't he? I suppose it is what makes him such a good player as well. (10 minutes ago)

    A_M @blmbox: yeah it looks like the team spirit is non existant at stamford bridge. With all the shit thats been happening off the pitch I wonder if thats had any impact. (17 minutes ago)
  • blmbox
    blmbox Yeah, no urgency whatsoever really. You feel that, with Hiddink or Jose himself in charge, we would have had much more spirit. (44 minutes ago)
  • A_M
    A_M @blmbox: Haha it's a shame, Chelsea wasn't up for it in the second half. They should of done better. (54 minutes ago)
  • blmbox
    blmbox I think the worrying thing is that that was probably the last chance for many of our players. We need a serious overhaul. (59 minutes ago)

    IRAIPT0IR @blmbox: This was not our year mate :( (1 Hour ago)
  • blmbox
    blmbox Chelsea, you bunch of useless shites. Ancelotti has no charisma or spirit whatsoever. Get him out, get Guus back in! (1 Hour ago)
