Quantcast




I predict that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night will be the most popular Xbox Live Arcade game to date when it launches (supposedly Q1 of this year). In case you hadn't heard, it is a port of the PlayStation version and retains all of the original audio while still weighing in at less than 50 MB. But how much will it cost?

Videos of Alien Hominid and Catan are after the break.

Can you say best co-op ever? Well, best co-op for a Live Arcade game that is.

And then there's Catan ...

Where's all of the original games? Where's the experimentation? We got one PS1 port, one internet flash game that should of just been on the Xbox 1 backwards compatible list and then there's Catan - which will guarantee that you won't get laid this year.

Wow, so Catan's just the screen there? How'd that fit in the 50MB requirement?

Well, I guess I'm buying a 360. There's more confirmed games on that right now than on my Wii. Ugh. Well, at least it'll be the ever popular "Wii60" everyone clamors for.

So, I'll be getting the unit, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Guitar Hero, Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Geometry Wars, Gears of War, SOTN, and Alien Hominid. Whee.

I can truthfully say you're not the only one Grim. Ha. And I never quite understood the alien hominid craze. Its on the internet for free. Go play it. It doesn't really have that much depth for my taste.

Haha all I know is that it's some sort of board game. Guess I'll see what the fuss is about when the it comes to XBLA.
