I just snagged Carcassonne myself, another very cool game. And my daughter liked going to free mode and just building a city with the tiles.

I just got an email telling me that this game is out:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/bombe ... ivearcade/

It must be for next week, but that doesn't seem right with the holiday next week. I checked and couldn't find it anywhere. But when this one drops, I hope you gents here at DSP would like to participate in some online action. Nothing says I hate you more than a well placed bomb.

Check out the Ace Combat trailer on the marketplace, wow does this game look beautiful. Was a really good game back on the PS2 and reading up a little on this version they are supposedly going to have 16 players online and are working toward 32.

I am really looking forward to this game on the 360. I LOOOOOVED playing this on the PS2 and the previews say the graphics are photo-realistic. This game on a large widescreen HD TV and a good surround sound system would be gaming nirvana.

anyone try missle command yet? The 'enhanced version' is pretty trippy.

Now THAT is what I call supporting your userbase and great customer service. EA, are you listening? Probably not....

Zeppo · Post by **Zeppo** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 2:19 pm

All the RB6 extras are free now! That means I am ready to try Teal's new favorite VIP mode etc. Perhaps I will set something up for Sunday or Tuesday night to check it out. Will likely be playing tonight with the KOFF guys if they have room, as well.

Anyone buy the new Lumines pack? Worth it?

Great news!

Does anybody know if this indeed will be up tomorrow and what time demos are usually available? I was planning on being "sick" tomorrow, so this could be perfect.

New backward compatibility update. A few interesting additions, including a few sports games. Notables include Morrowind and Winning Eleven 8. Also, a demo is out for "The Bigs" Thanks to Major Nelson - which is where I found this info.

Man, the Ace Combat demo is great. Too bad the game doesn't come out until October!

That's the first game I look for on the list every time it's updated. I even put the game in the 360 after the update hoping that it would somehow work, but still no go.

Microsoft needs to pick up the needle and do it again, f***ers.

It looks awesome, but I was bored out of my mind. Not realistic enough for extended periods of non-combat time. Just seems way too simple. But it very well could be the best looking game to grace the 360.

I assume it gets better as the game goes on, but the water and such looked unreal.

Is there a special way to lock on to targets with missles or am I missing something?
