Offical Xbox Live Marketplace Update List

I've completely cleared the cones in the first two levels. The upper "triggers" also work, which helps a lot. The music is just... off, though. It gets really hard on the third board, but I almost gotten the default high score.

Cheers,

Same. I was a light cycle away from the fourth board and my high score. The cycle levels are the most unforgiving (followed closely by the tanks) with total randomness on if you're getting out alive or not.

The MCP levels are pretty darn easy; I can get the all blocks bonus on the first two rounds pretty much every time triggers or otherwise. I do need to try absolute aim though; I've been doing it with the spinner control scheme.

TRON!?!?

Oooh...can anybody confirm that it works with the MadCatz arcade joystick with the spinner control for Tron's arm / Tank Turrets?

**EDIT**

Big Tron fan, so I couldn't wait.

Like most of Digital Eclipse's console emulation, it's semi janky (awful sound translation ... some very off-key sections) and the screen gamma is a bit dark, though, that's probably very accurate to the arcade PCB.

The Mad Catz arcade stick spinner doesn't do the job, as it only works while you have the control setup to where the stick used for movement is the one inside the spinner, and well, no, that's not a functinoal setup.

OTHER than the above, I found the game rather playable indeed. The trigger works pretty darn well on levels where rapid-fire is needed (MCP and Spiders). Not a stunning translation of the arcade ROM, but not bad for 400 points ... especially with XBLA multiplayer competition.

I LOVE how they use the bezel/cabinet border graphics straight from MAME32!

Update; beat the high score achievement without going to level 4. Just hang out and kill spiders for two lives on the 3rd board and clear the MCP on at least 1 and 2.

The light cycles on the third stage are just too damn random. The tanks are really bad too, but at least absolute aim helps a lot.

And I have NO idea how you get the achievement killing all the IO bugs in the first stage. They multiply too quickly. I've landed every shot and still been WAY behind getting them all down.

For the record, I have zero trouble adapting to the triggers to fire.

Having some Metal Slug 3 Issues. Anyone else?

Every time I boot up the game it signs me out of live. If I try and sign back in to Live, I can't play MS3, WTF? So, no multiplayer for me atm.

I was wondering if this was due to Live shit performance as of late or just my luck?
The Achievements in this one look pretty damn tough.

I also find it damn hard to shoot diagonal with the damn controller. I am pretty sure it could be done before though?

Burnout 3: Takedown (IMO, the best game in the series) is now up on the Xbox originals section.

But didn't EA just shutdown the Burnout 3 online servers a few months ago?

It depends on the gun. The pistol can only shoot in four directions, but the heavy machine gun does all 8 directions. I'm not sure about other weapons.

Has anyone manged to get all the spiders killed on level one? I can get two of the groups but the third multiplies too quickly.

I'm up to 27K for highscore so far and I got all the ones with the Cone done. The level 4 , level 12 and the spider achievements are going to keep me trying.

I don't think it's possible. I've tried over and over, but you just cannot shoot fast enough.

I've still got to do the cone one too. Forgot about that one.

Exactly, even with spot on controls I don't think I could do it. I tried changing the difficulty and lives so I would have extra tries, still no go.

Today's game is Boogie Bunnies.

It's basically a Bubble Bobble/Astro Pop clone with bunnies. (EDIT - actually, I meant Bust-A-Move. Not Bubble Bobble...)

Hopefully, next week is Rez HD and Discs of Tron.

Now...all they'd need to do is port Tron 2.0 to the XBOX Originals, and perhaps we'd see more people playing light-cycles online than ever did when the game released brick-and-mortar for the acutal XBOX.

Hey, a Tron fan can dream no?

[heybtbm]

What's with the US getting demo shafted lately? I want to try out Turok and The Club...like the rest of the world gets to.

Obligatory, I guess...

I just noticed a new Pinball FX table was just added.

Haunted Mansion table - 200 points.

This is actually a salient issue with me. I just got my 360, and I never had a gen1 Xbox, and I REALLY want to try Tron 2.0, but it's not on the compatibility list for the 360. (Thankfully Shenmue II is so that's one name I crossed off the list of "to play" games.) Anyway, they really need to update the emulation software to be compatible with 2.0. That would be great.

I find that hilarious too... I'm used to that happening to the rest of the world but not in North America!

Oasis Pack for Rock Band next week. "Wonderwall", "Don't Look Back in Anger", and "Live Forever".

The week after sees "Siva" by Smashing Pumpkins, "Working Man" by Rush (cover), and "Ten Speed (Of God's Blood and Burial)" by Coheed and Cambria (cover).

Just a friendly reminder that Activision hates your guts and EA really would like your money. I'll be downloading all 6 of these.

No kidding. Activision/Red Octane apparently want too much of the profit from each downloaded track, so various record labels are blowing them off and making more money per download with EA/Harmonix.

Let's not forget that Activision doesn't want too many new tracks out there anyway. They don't want GH3 competing with GH4 later this year. I wish the Rock Band instruments were a little more reliable, because GH3 owners are getting the short end of the stick. Based on the tons of tracks I'm missing out on, I feel like I chose poorly when I bought GH3 instead of RB.

I answered my own question, there is a new achievement for the new table.
