    Default Marble Blast Ultra, it's like an HD Oxyd

    Just released on the Live arcade and already i'm loving it. It's been years since i've played a good marble game. I mean sure Super Monkey Ball was kind of like one, but Marble Madness is what i was really looking for.

    60 Levels, all timed with acheivements being handed out for scoring in under par.

    Anyone else picked this one up yet? I was expecting to get the Full Auto demo but this is certainly a fine substitute.

    Very addicting game, well worth the ton of extra points I had sitting around. Currently beat the first two difficulties with all scores under par. Haven't had a chance to try multiplayer yet, but sounds fun. After I give Full Auto a whirl, I'll be going after the final difficulty. Nice to see they finally added some new damn stuff after about a solid month. Hopefully some new compatibility will be on the way, but I have a feeling there's not going to be much going on in that department.

    In terms of backwards compatibility i'm not expecting much until March, but i am expecting a huge update to live. There's a rumour that the next update willfix the save glitches with COD2 and DOA4 and add background downloading.

    looks just like one of my favorate PC games that never made it to the states but was still huge here.

    Is it just me? or did the Ballance (link) crew lend the code for this?

    Ballance was/is one of the best puzzle/marble games never released in the US and if you have a PC with at least a GF2mx400 grfx card I recommend taking a look. It took me a full year to get to lvl 13.





    and a movie.

    It was a PC game first. Might not look as nice and may not have the same levels, but its the same idea.

    Because I am insane:

    1) How much are 360s retail?
    2) Are they actually available retail at this point?
    3) How much do these downloaded games cost?

    1) 399.99 for the premium, 299.99 for the core
    2) Yes. Just dont go to a store that takes preorders. Might take you a week to find though
    3) 800 pts. $10 when you convert it out.

    Despite being on my 3rd 360. That $400 was worth it in every single way possible. If I could afford to buy another one I would.
