Do you need to have played the original?

Also, anyone know when Quake Live is out?

[FreelancePolice]

It's still in closed beta on PC so I doubt we'll see it any time soon on 360 (is it still coming to 360?)

We'll probably here more at quake world

[chopemon]

Wasn't it canned for 360?

[PeteJ]

I had assumed from the name it was coming to both PC and 360. Oh well, was looking forward to it mind.

Theres some offer on atm that if you buy 12 months live (off microsoft!) then you get a free arcade game... Some weird goings on in order to get it.

TBH, you'd have to be bonkers to renew automatically instead of using a card.

Halo 1s price has been cut to 600 points for a week.

Be warned though, it doesn't work over VGA which I've sadly just found out the hard way.

Bloody hell. How addictive is that Keffling game? I tried the trial last night, and after a few nags, ended up buying it and carried on playing for ages. Loved it!

People give the games Carneyvale Showtime and Hexothermic a go. They are community games and very good ones at that. Carneyvale is 400pts and Hexothermic is 200pts.

[Paulos G]

I thought Carneyvale was quite good too. Would like to see it get a full XBLA release.

[toythatkills]

Anyone get the jigsaw game today? How big do those suckers get?
