Geometry Wars 2 for 400msp is possibly the best value for money you will ever get in your LIFE

[Brodie]

I'm horribly, horribly, horribly hooked on Lunar Lander. >_<

[Paulos G]

Tutankham is the one that's got me hooked. You have a challenge Mr Parry!

[Malc]

I think someone should start a first play thread just called 'Game Room'. That way any discussion on any of the games in Game room can be discussed in there, as well as future releases etc.

As for Geometry Wars 2 at 400 points: Bargain!!!

Well I dont know, I just expected to be able to put the Mortal Kombat ARCADE game I bought in my arcade. It was a arcade game after all, hell, I even remember playing it when it came out in the arcades.

I'm not saying they shouldn't have allowed this. I have Tempest for eg, and don't want to buy it again. But they said quite early on that existing XBLA games wouldn't be playable on the service. Shame.

Overall, I like the game room. At the very least it's given me Shaolin's Road for a couple of quid. Slightly annoying that you have to download the whole pack of games though. Surely if that continues our hard drives will be set to burst a couple of months down the line?

Introducing the 250gb hard drive!

[ChrisF]

I just booted up game room and got 5gp while it was loading LOL

[Paulos G]

There's an easy 80G to be had without even buying a game!

[Family Fry]

PAX East should be interesting today, hopefully see some footage of some nice XBLA titles.

Hydrophobia
Hydro Thunder Hurricane
Limbo
Snoopy Flying Aces
Raskulls

Are all at the booth.

Just thought I'd try the PC game room client... it's down, again... great service.

[Paulos G]

I had a mesage from @XboxSupport that the problems with Game Room are being worked on.

Glad to hear it as it's a bit of a flaky mess at the moment. Still enjoying it though.

And my Shaolin's Road scores keep climbing. 244,000 ...

This weeks marketplace offer is Virtual-On for 800 points. Next weeks is Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 for 400 points which is a bit of bargain.

[yesteryeargames]

not a bad price, it should have been 800 to start with tho

any news on the lfd2 content? or any price drops on the lfd 1 pack?

[JP]

Not played Virtual-On before but decided to give it a go at that price.

Had a couple of goes and a mess around customising and watching two 360 controlled combatants and I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what was happening in the two fights I had.

Managed to win a few fights before facing some sort of boss and died in about ten seconds.

Any quick hits from people who do play it?
