For 400 MS points, yes.


Agreed. Anymore than that and they can strawberry float off!

I was enjoying the Lode Runner trial to start with (quite a lot actually) until I quickly realised it was one of the most infuriating games ever.

360 Avatars get new hip hop gear

You'll find new clothes in the wardrobe for your 360 Avatar today to make your little dude look all street.

The expected selection of jeans and hats are in, along with a sweet 'oversized jacket with chains'. There are rings and stud earring there too, but that's soooo '90s.

Just make sure you whack on some Snoop Dogg to get in the mood first before taking a look.

Men

* Denim Shorts
* Faded Jeans with Print
* Striped Visor Beanie
* Diamond Stud Earrings
* Square Stones Ring


Women

* Oversized Jacket with Chains
* Short Shorts
* Sports Vest
* Diamond Stud Earrings

Lode Runner: Almost as boring as Outrun.

This Days of Arcade isn't a patch on the one last summer, with only two decent-ish games.

OutRun was the only really good game in this bunch...luckily its one of the best ever launched on XBLA so its not that bad.

I agree about OutRun with you and Virtual On next week(some like Banjo Tooie) but for me this year has been meh on XBLA.

What's the consensus on Flock? Is it woth the MS points?
I played the demo and thought it was both funny and interesting but I'd like to know how well the rest of the game fares.

I like it but I got it for free. It really isn't worth 1,200 points.

Zombie Wranglers Finally Making Its Way On May 6th

Frozen Codebase have revealed that Zombie Wranglers will finally be making its debut on Xbox Live Arcade on May 6th.

Zombie Wranglers was meant to be coming out way back on September 17th of 2008 but just as it was about to be released, it got stuck in XBLA purgatory due to the Sierra merging with Activision. Now it appears that everything is sorted out, and the game will be released in just two weeks.

Can't agree with that...

R-Type Dimensions
Death Tank
Exit 2
Watchmen: The End Is Nigh - Episode I
Crystal Defenders
Peggle
The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai
Outrun Online Arcade

...not what I'd call meh. The only one of those I didn't buy was Exit 2 and that was just because I haven't played as much as I should have of the original.

For me its a much better lineup than PSN has seen, even if it has had the single best downloadable release of the year in Flower.

For you yeah. But I got to play those late last year so the need to spend my own money on them just wasn't there. I don't know what is up with me but I just can't find anything to like the 360 about lately :| Maybe it's because I work on one every day?

VO-OT is a Day 1 for me, along with Zombie Apocalypse, which look awesome. It reminds me of the old Hunter Xbox games. Xbox Original those bad boys?
