Live Arcade/Virtual Console Thread

I keep banging on about them both (XBLA in particular), so I decided to just make a thread rather than randomly post elsewhere.

And to open the thread, we begin with some very promising news:

but how about Streets of Rage 2 hitting the Xbox Live Arcade? The ESRB thinks it'll happen, although the E rating is a little fishy...

Still, since this kind of leak is usually accurate, I'll be assuming that this is true.

G0t w00t?

Oh, and the Worms DLC is coming Wednesday:

Quote:

Team17 has announced that the first release of downloadable content for Worms on Xbox LIVE Arcade is scheduled to go live on Wednesday, May 30, at 09:00 GMT.

The Space Landscape will be available free of charge while the Hell and Jungle landscapes will cost 150 Microsoft Points each. There will also be available for free a SoundBank Pack 1, which contains foreign language voices as well as a handful of specially selected Classic voices to vocally enhance your Worms.

Additionally, Team17 plans to release a desktop theme and gamer pictures.

Streets of Rage 2?

OMGOMG......pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

Ahem, worms DLC sounds good

Daz · 30-05-2007, 20:31

I bought Mad Tracks

Some good mini games that'll be great split screen or over live. 4 people in a room playing foosball or pool would get heated

Pulled the Worms DLC down too while I was at it.

Mad Tracks looks pretty good from what I've read

So many games I want to get once I've got the money for some points

Daz · 31-05-2007, 22:15

Random post about Hexic - I really like it, basically a big logic puzzle, very little luck in it once you suss it out. Didnt come on my hard drive that I got on ebay and just thought it was lost until someone said in passing that you can get a code from support to re-download it. Took a couple of calls but I got it, and I'm glad I did

Achievement wise all I should be left with is that surround a tile with 6 black pearls. Just dont think I can be arsed

Haly · 31-05-2007, 22:21

Hexic is good fun

Not got many achievements for it but it's enjoyable to pass the time. Anything involving black pearls is a pain in the arse to get.

I like Hexic too. I find it good for the odd little play without getting too into it.
Also got Mad Tracks last night. Great little game with what seems like a lot of tracks and levels. Daz, we'll hook up one night for a spin. Got 2 controllers now so Piggy can join in too

Daz · 01-06-2007, 10:40

Ditto here, I'll get Dee involved, we'll play team games

If you like casual games Des then get Uno, 400 points and perfect for slack playing, dont even need the controller, can play it with the remote
