Has anyone tried a USB MagicBox joystick convertor on the 360 yet? I can't play any 2D fighters without me stick!

These are worth reiterating :

Apparently this is the full list of support...

? Codemasters
? Llamasoft
? Midway Home Entertainment
? Namco
? PomPom Games
? Popcap Games
? Q Entertainment
? SEGA
? SNK Playmore

So what would people like to see from these guys?

? Codemasters - MicroMachines & Sensible Soccer Live Versions
? Llamasoft - Anything.
? Midway Home Entertainment - San Francisco Rush 2049 Live Version
? Q Entertainment - The aforementioned Lumines
? SEGA - Streets Of Rage Live, Daytona Live (I will die), Sega Rally Live, Scud Race Live, and so on.
? SNK Playmore - Metal Slug Live, WindJammers Live.

There are some big names on that dev list, so much potential there. Maybe we're going to be needing a bigger HD sooner rather than later....

[Yoshimax]

Yeah it's crazy how quick that thing is filling up. Mostly demos & trailers at the moment to be fair which will be deleted soon (as they're mostly gash - I'm looking at you EA).

isn't there a 50mb limit on XBLA games?

Big rumour floating about that Lumines will be making the switch to XBLA ... lets hope so

I'm hoping for 720p 16:9 Rez from Sega too. It'd be immense.

They have to fit on memory cards I think.

Lumines would be ****ing superb! Never even thought about it, I'd be glued to that, GW and Outpost allll day. Live play would be so sweet, yay.

[Rossco]

Wiow, Lumines would kick so much ass on Live!!

Here's hoping...

THAT right there is the best idea yet.

Extra downloadable levels & music.

Pump the visuals up to GW:E level.

**** that's too good - somebody license it and do it ASAP.

Anyone playing Mutant Storm here? I find it way more fun than GW - it seems to have a little more depth and isn't quite as manic (before flaming me, I do like GW).

The graphics are sweet, music is very nice (hypnotic almost) and there is a huge variety of mutants to blow away.

I've completed Tally Mode (each room (all 89 of them) one at a time - no powerups). Rooms 87 and 89 were ridiculously hard, I thought. I'm up to about 55 in Adventure mode (play through in one go) but that mode allows you to checkpoint every ten levels. My high score is about 1.1 million. The high score is about 22 million, I think. It's a big number anyway.

The amount of effort that you have to put in to get achievements is a lot higher than an off the shelf game. Worth it though.

Mutant Storm is great. It's definately more relaxing than Geometry Wars, and that's not a bad thing.

There's a petition going around for one of the TMNT games to be added also, there was a rumour on a blog that this was being looked into.

[IanE]

Tmnt?

[Kotatsu Neko]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
