so its pac-man wed and maybe lego sw II, madden 07, or fear on suprise friday depending on who you talk to

Not hugely exciting though. Pacman is ancient, Lego Star Wars 2 demo is out now on PC, and FEAR is also pretty ancient.

And Madden... well.... I think I'll pass.

Excitement for me will start when my copy of Dead Rising shows up in a few days!

Pacman is going to be a hard sell, I'd imagine. Anyone with RR6 already has it.

[arcnas]

it will be but im getting it for the achievements, eating four ghosts each time you eat a pill on one level sounds a tricky one to get, i fancy that one.

Sonic the Hedgehog: High Speed

Does this mean its a new game? I was under the impression it was sonic 1

[FelixofMars]

I saw the Alien Hominid guys at Comic-Con, I belive they have two Xbox 360 games planned (Alien Hominid port & a new game)

All you have to do is learn the pattern for level 1. Any google for "pacman patterns" will find you it.

[MartyG]

Yes, Castle Crashers, as discussed here: http://ntsc-uk.domino.org/showthread.php?t=61642

[Simmy]

* Track & Field.

Will this have live I wonder, would be a good laugh, although not sure how costly its going to be with the price of new wireless pads

[Spatial]

Lumines at the start of September - really looking forward to that
