I don't like the remake of MI, is it me or does the original version (Back button) have loads more charm? Perhaps it's just childhood memories...
I love how you can switch between the two versions on the fly though, every remake should have that.

Jeez, bit of an understatement. TdF is terrible!

Wasn't really a fan of that ball game either. I take it it's based on some obscure (or just American) license?

Madballs were not obscure. I think you just have to be of a certain age.

Played all the way through the first three trials on the first bit of monkey island last night. I have to say I'm really enjoying it. The voice acting is really good and the new pad based controlls are quit intuitive. I really dident like the new look at first but it's the script that brings this game alive.

Really glad I bought it to be honest I would of been happy at 800 points for just the classic, so the remake is a nice bonus.

One thing I did do was put the subtitles on to compliment the voice acting, it makes it feel more like the original

Gears 2 All fronts pack is up on the markerplace.

Its says its all 19 maps and an extra campaign level

Am I right in saying this includes the two previous map packs?? if so a bargain at 800 points

[Paulos G]

I seem to recall reading that it was going to be released for 1600 points?

[Paulos G]

Hmm. Getting an error has occurred message when I try to download it. Methinks it's a pricing error.

[ExtremePabs]

Yes you may be right I just tried and got the same

[peeveen]

Isn't it supposed to be out on the 28th? I think someone has made a mistake.

EDIT: Confirmed on the GOW2 forums as an error. Apparently a very lucky few managed to download it at that price before MS cut the link. Release date is still 28th.

[Paulos G]

It's no longer there. Although I have found it by searching on xbox.com. Still not downloadable mind.

This bloke has stuck a load of videos up on YouTube. Crappy quality and all spoilers but they're there (for now) if people are interested.

[SuperBeatBoy]

Anyone know the price on Xplosion Man?

[arcnas]

i think its the only summer arcade game that is 800 pts, im pretty sure its 800, and all the others are 1200

[Brats]

Splosion Man is 800 points and looks very decent from the videos:

Apparently it's the first game to have unlockable crap for your avatar too (probably a pink tutu).
