Got braid for 800, been waiting ages for it to come down in price. Bankshot billiards 2 was the first and last game I buy for 1200 points (or more)

Now I'm just waiting on the months for Death tanks to come down in price

Achievements are out for the Hasbro thing, and it seems a lot like Scrabble will only be released in North America. What prats. It's the only one I want

I can't even just get it from my US account, since it'll be in pretend English. Gah.

[Robster]

Slightly OT but does anyone else find sent u a message and more specifically the brand of humour pointyhead and other dude try to use.

Its so annoying, also I hate how they pick all the easy questions to answer like how do you unlock akuma etc etc.

I just get the feeling its aimed at 13 year olds and no one else.

*rant over*

[MattyD]

It does rather remind me of the old-style games magazine patter. MyPointyHead in particular is a proper nerd with all the personality of a soggy sponge.

[ChrisF]

Any sign of Watchmen yet? Does anyone have the xbox.com link pleasE?

[Paulos G]

Not up yet. I'll post a link in the updates thread as soon as I spot it.

Can't be far off though coz this page says it's up but the link only takes you to the general Arcade page.

[Paulos G]

Well Watchmen is showing on XBLA now but it's not (yet) possible to download it.

[SuperBeatBoy]

Anyone played Riddick yet? That goddamn filter they are using is awful.

[ChrisF]

I played Riddick, and quite liked it, although I never noticed anything dodgy with the graphics?

Just tried out the WWE Legends of Wrestlemania demo as well. Liked that also - a lot more accessible, and easier to play, than recent wrestling games. Looks like it still has a fair bit of depth, its just not has hard to get into.

Days of Arcade starting 18th March. These are the titles that will be released over a six week period:

The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai
Flock
Hasbro Family Game Night
Lode Runner
Outrun Online Arcade
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix
UNO Rush

First release will be the Hasbro game after which a new release will be announced each Monday. One week will see two titles released.

[PeteJ]

Didn't notice anything wrong with Riddick either.

Wanted and Wheelman demos are also up today.

[toythatkills]

That surely, surely means Peggle is out next Wednesday.

Hasbro, ew, no Scrabble, no sale. Gits!

[glazza]

just watching my son on the wheelerman demo and have to say from the noise he is making it looks and plays fantastic especially the reverse spin thingy(u know what i mean lol) all in slowdown so your facing the car chasing you with gun at the ready is simply fantastic.

[ChrisF]

I really enjoyed the Wheelman demo it has to be said! Very nice.

Wanted... not so much. But I wasn't sure what I was doing on that

[Family Fry]

4 demos in 2 days, been pretty good

I wasnt expecting much from The Wheelman after the build I saw a while back, the framerate looked awful but this actually surprised me, it's a good demo
OTT car nudging action, seeing Vin jump out of his car and onto roof of another whilst racing was cool, it reminded me of just cause was a bit crazy.

Wanted demo was cool, I enjoyed that one too, perhaps a bit too much covering going on, was like it was just an on rails cover em up also didnt like how low the camera got whilst in crouching cover, cant see anyone unless you pop your head out or tilt the camera of course.

Tried the road to wrestlemania and for me nearly all WWE wrestling games died after No Mercy on N64, this isnt gonna bring me back am afraid, it all just seemed so incredibly basic almost like they had actually gone back in time with the game.
