I'm still struggling to associate Game Room with Wednesday, even after all these weeks of game additions. In case you couldn't tell, that is, indeed, my passive-aggressive way of saying maybe you should skip straight to the good stuff, guys. Here's what we're looking at for today:
- Fishing Derby (Atari 2600)
- Barnstorming (Atari 2600)
- Quadrun (Atari 2600)
- Gyruss (Arcade)
- Hover Force (Intellivision)
Gyruss is the clear winner this week, although it is also offered on Xbox LIVE Arcade, as is usually the case for the more notable games. It's got Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, however, which is multiple kinds of awesome.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Yeah, I guess I'm just surprised to hear about it at all these days.
What's weird is that MS has done such a great job with the other arcade classics they've released, I don't understand what I'm supposed to think about the Game Room product.

I'm with you, brother. 1 vs. 100 needs a new season on XBL.
I've been totally uninterested in buying anything for Game Room until I was in a particularly retro frame of mind the other day and demo'd and bought an 80's twinstick shooter Black Widow :) Okay, only played it half a dozen times, but it was fun :)
My problem is that for a system touting upwards of 1000 games (eventually), it's awfully expensive to build a collection. 10 very very very old games for around £20.... when MAME and all its wonders are free.
