The official I Love Games XBOX 360 and XBOX LIVE thread!

anyone playing super meat boy?

Costume Quest is really, really fantastic.

hi 5

Wow this update is annoying and awful looking

Like really, every time I change rows yer going to stroboscope me. Bullshit.

Wait tho there is now a search on the netflix browser! All is forgiven

The ESPN thing is fantastic.

i was part of the beta; it is a definite improvement overall even for long term.

i know i am sorta a UI change hater and all, but currently the thing thats bugging me the most about it is all the new sounds for selecting/moving through menus ets that sound very fake wii cutesy bleep bloop to me.

maybe theres a setting to turn them off, have not looked because i prefer to complain.

I would like to congratulate microsoft on its tricking america into buying this retarded kinect peripheral.

I have been thinking about buying it. :(

does it actually cost 90 english pounds: y/n?

kinect is one of those things where if i won it in a contest i would be kinda ehhhh is there a cash option so yeah i will not be buying it.

It would be strictly a party thing. I can't see myself playing with it alone. I have non-gamer friends and could use something a little more accessible.

i play video games to sit on my ass and twiddle my fucking thumbs

no i didn't like the wii either

once there's a true killer ap, i may cave in
dance central is close but no cigar

anyone playing super meat boy?

SMB might deserve its own thread...just a brilliant little game. I've exhausted the Xbox demo and now I'm just waiting for the Steam version later this month (with Mr. Minecraft, dude from VVVVVV, Machinarium robot, etc).

really loving the snoopy dogfight game. the demo is killer.

i'm bored. can anyone recommend some new and decent arcade games? preferably some addictive action/puzzle/whatever with high scores

played limbo or costume quest yet?

oh right limbo! forgot about that one. does it have high scores?

I keep ignoring limbo because buy braid once, shame on me, buy braid twice

Limbo has no score

limbo is to braid as Nosferatu is to Twilight
you should buy limbo.

limbo is a puzzle game and once you beat it there's a number of funtime perfectionist/explorer achievements to get

it's definitely a top ten 2010 game for me.

yeah i'm on it. i recall liking the demo when it came out then it slipped my mind. though i also kinda liked braid so who am i to talk...

i liked braid too!
but limbo is totally different visually, emotionally, storywise, gameplay... they're both slightly precious, short, oddball, non-linear puzzlers; that's about all they have in common.

really dug the demo but kinda resent buying dlc games these days :/

why?

why? i love it.

xp

limbo, costume quest, and scott pilgrim are all aces.

got into the habit of selling my games once I'm done with them I guess #creditcrunch

the new pacman looks amazing. what games have I missed this year I NEED to play? I picked up mass effect 2 but that's about it. do I really need to play guwange, limbo, split/second, need for speed, ac: brotherhood, blur, others I've missed...?

am loving costume quest...

also, loved the demos for blur and split/second, but will wait until they're dead cheap before investing.

don't think they'll get much cheaper: they've been kicking about at £12 each for a while in zavvi's mega monday. games don't tend to go much lower new (except bayonetta; and I did manage to get ME2 new for €1)

Blimey, EG 10/10 for the new pacman. Going to grab this today.

okay i did not know they were @ £12 yet!

http://www.billybargain.co.uk/ is your friend

: ) blur £12 at tesco http://www.tescoentertainment.com/store/games/-/8:486005/

you all know about this week's upcoming amazon UK black friday deals, right?

60% off a wii bundle tomorrow (could be tempted back in by a sub-£70 wii myself tbqh)

£70 for a wii? for real?

shush don't tell everyone, I expect these things are going to sell out in minutes anyway. (they're doing 60% off 360 slims too, planning to upgrade mine if I can place an order in time).

Blimey, EG 10/10 for the new pacman. Going to grab this today.

"it's a game you'll want to instantly evangelise to anyone with even the vaguest
sense of what makes a game good"

eh so if i don't 'get' this i know nothing about games? it's pac-man, whatevs.

Pac-Man CE is incredible, but I'm skeptical that I need ANOTHER new Pac-Man game.

Oops, watched a video review. Definitely getting it.

me too
