Offical Xbox Live Marketplace Update List

Pretty good week. All 3 games are pretty good..

Damn, I love Millipede.

[GM80]

Catan demo was taken down earlier, as apparently the game was handing out achievements despite being the trial version. Should be back soon, in case anyone is wondering.

Pretty funny, I wonder if anyone got the 200.

I'm really hoping the Forza 2 Demo comes out tomorrow.

[segagamer4life]

Forza 2 DEMO... I hope so as well. Don't forget NEW gears of war maps out today!!!!

[Vectorman0]

Catan demo was taken down earlier, as apparently the game was handing out achievements despite being the trial version. Should be back soon, in case anyone is wondering.

Does anyone have this original trial version and a way to get it onto their computer?

[diskoboy]

I downloaded the Catan demo before they took it down. I've been too busy playing GH2 to care, though..

[blissfulnoise]

At least 3 of the achievements on Catan require you to play ranked matches, so no one can go 200/200. I think 150/200 can be done offline.

Besides, the game is absolutely outstanding and well worth the 800 points it costs. If anyone is interested in some Catan tonight, hit me up with invite.

May 9th.....DOUBLE DRAGON the Arcade lands on Xbox Live Arcade...

This is awesome news. I was wondering when Double Dragon was coming. Please let this have 2-player co-op over Live.

As a kid, I spent more quarters in the local Double Dragon than any other arcade machine...ever. Besides MAME, there's never been anything close to the actual arcade game either. The Atlus GBA port was close...but not the same.

Actually, I think they're now saying it's another bunch of Atari games.

I know Tempest and Missile Command are 100%. Battlezone my be the 3rd, I'm not exactly sure...

No mention of Double Dragon.

[diskoboy]

I got my info from a news crawl on G4 - of course they were wrong.

[Howie6925]

I will be getting that one for sure and its only 400 points.

[theMot]

Where's the love for Speedball II? Shit, that's gonna make for some epic online battles.

Plenty of love here. Speedball 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, the fact that this is coming out on xbox live has sold the 360 for me. Im just undecided now if i should pick up the Gears of War bundle here or wait for the Elite version to be released. Im in Oz, elite isnt released here yet you see...

Oh yeah an update of sensible soccer is on it's way too. sold x2!!! :)

On the Xbox forums, people are saying the "elbow smash" trick still works. Abobo's don't have a chance.

[segagamer4life]

Good to know, cool beans.

[Joker T]

Apparently the Forza 2 demo will be up tonight 2AM EST.

[diskoboy]

I'm praying the wireless wheel works with the demo.

I can't wait to give this thing a try on more realistic behaving cars.

Not to mention it's Forza. And in HD :)

[segagamer4life]

YUP it is, and its a mere, 697 mb....

Yep, that trick came to me when I was playing last night. The trick works like a charm.

[segagamer4life]

Also, FYI, the AREA 51 Demo is up!!

[petewhitley]

Couldn't they have choosen something a bit more exciting for the Forza 2 demo? Talk about underwhelming.

[diskoboy]

This coming Wednesday is gonna be boring for XBLA.

Supposedly, Solitare is this weeks only game. :-P

Thank god for the Halo 3 beta.

[Kejoriv]

Cant wait for Aegis Wings!
I might pick up another 360 arcade game. Havent decided which one, just received a points card as a present.

[segagamer4life]

Bump yeah, FREE XBLA game, I hope this is a trend that can continue!!!

[LiquidPolicenaut]

For anyone interested, Microsoft released a new video and demo for Eternal Sonata in Japan. Luckily, the foreign account I have still works, despite what Microsoft was saying. What surprised me is that the entire demo is in English! Text AND voice! Im not sure why they didnt release it here when, even at the end of the demo, they show the box art and state it as coming in September 2007...with the English website for it :) Anyways, the demo isnt half bad. Not the greatest RPG, but still very colorful and pretty to watch and easy to play so far. It felt good playing a JRPG on my 360 :)

[segagamer4life]

I downloaded this earlier this week from my foreign acc. but haven't tried yet.... I will once the h3 newness wears off...lol

its good to hear positive things for this I can't wait.

[Kejoriv]

For some reason I find Aegis Wings really hard.

[Vinnysdad]

For some reason I find Aegis Wings really hard.


I was able to beat it by myself on Normal. I actually thought it was pretty easy. If your having trouble try playing with 3 other people. Its a lot easier that way. My rank on the leaderboards is 644 but I am sure other people here are way higher than that. Im just happy I am in the top 1000.

[kaedesdisciple]

For some reason I find Aegis Wings really hard.

I also thought it was kinda hard when I first played, it. Then I realized I was falling asleep while playing it, hence my dying. I went to bed, realized the Halo 3 beta was out and totally forgot about it lol.

-Rush 'N Attack

Both 400 points.

[Buyatari]

-Rush 'N Attack

Contra with a swiss army knife :(

[heybtbm]

Contra with a swiss army knife :(

...but fun.

[segagamer4life]

yes both rush n attack and xevious are great and cheap additions to the xbla... sweet

[Vectorman0]

I haven't even had time for last weeks freebie yet. I can't stop playing Halo 3 because I know it's only a short matter of time before cheaters and idiots mess it up completely.

[heybtbm]

I understand where you're coming from, but I'm pretty sure cheating is going to be a thing of the past with Halo 3. The cheating that went on with the first Xbox and Halo 2, just isn't possible with a 360. You never know though...where there's a will, there's a way.

[segagamer4life]

FYI... Dirt demo should be up tomorrow..

Yea like, are they actually going to do anything to stop bridging, standby-ing and lag punching this time around?

Pirates of the caribean demo up... and Mad Tracks for the XBLA 800 pts.

Mad Tracks was excellent, I'm already done though. First in the world! I personally got congratulated by a developer! I even wrote a guide here at:

Hour of Victory demo up.... 938 mb

[segagamer4life]

Shadowrun demo up and its 1.7 gig, as well for those with japanese accounts, Vampire Rain demo up as well. enjoy!

[GM80]

Tenchu Z demo up for US accounts now, as well. Several hundred MBs, as usual.

[TonyB80]

Anyone know if the Vampire Rain demo will be released in europe. I downloaded the trailer and it looked like it might be good. has anyone played it yet?

[segagamer4life]

I played it a bunch last night, its roughly, metal gear meets, dawn of the dead.... the demo is a combo offline 4 quests and multiplayer "deathmatch", between the good guys and the "mutated demon" people... the graphics aren't perfect, but I would pick this up later this year.

[segagamer4life]

the onslaught of demo's continues, overlord demo up now!!

[Joker T]

Overlord is an interesting game, reminds me of Pikimin.

Not a big fan of the Shadowrun demo so far, the game feels a bit dated to me.

[heybtbm]

So how is Prince of Persia...anyone played it yet? The reviews are almost universally positive. I think I may actually spring for the full version tonight.

Still hard as hell.

The combat is a little wonky. Other than that, it's the original with way better gfx (which is good).

[diskoboy]

Project Sylpheed demo is up. (EDIT - and it kicks major ass.... It reminds me of Wing Commander, only more intense.)

613MB

[diskoboy]

Todays game: Band of Bugs

[diskoboy]

Aside from todays arcade game (Carcassonne)

The Tokyo Club Pack Mix (350pts) and Booster Pack (600pts) for Lumines Live, were also released today.

[Darren870]
