So I've just given the trial of this a go. The first thing that struck me was the music and presentation. Reminded me of Perfect Dark Zero.

On to the game proper: you start by travelling to San Fransisco. This is represented by a static picture filled with all sorts of objects. At the top of the screen are eight words. The purpose of the game is to find the items listed by moving the cursor over them and pressing "A".

And that's it for the demo.

Sounds amazing!

I had that one

I'll never forget the toy shop owners' face when my mum asked if he had any "Mad Balls".

[Spatial]

Reminds me of the time I was in a pet shop and a woman asked the salesman if he had "fat balls" or would she have to make her own again.

All you could hear was the sound of me laughing like a loon.

[Dezm0nd]

Wow those toys are retrotastic. I had one of those

Who else doesn't use the Marketplace as much since the NXE was released?

Personally, I found the old text based interface much quicker to navigate and easier to see what's what etc.

I find it a lot easier to see the new stuff now. It's pretty hard to miss those huge boxes. Much better than Aceybongos corporate twaddle!

[Paulos G]

I still use it just as much.

Being able to see new releases on Xbox.com and queue them to my 360 is a fabulous feature and might be the way to go for those that prefer the old way of doing things?

[Lebowski]

the new marketplace is alright the sad thing is i miss Aceybongos just for the simple fact that his name is so cool his brother Superbongos and sister massivebongos are good friends of mine.
