Guest Smues Report post Posted February 20, 2009 It's on my Gamefly list. I'm not all that excited about it though, because A. I don't like prequels and B. SO3 kind of made any more games in the series meaningless. To me anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2009 So I saw Thoth playing the Ultimate Genesis Collection and so I looked into the game and decided to buy it. I never had a Genesis growing up...so most of these games I've never played before. It's like a candy store in disc form. I was playing Fatal Labyrinth the other day. A lot better than I expected it to be. I said it in 2006 for the PS2 version, but it bares repeating with the new additions: The Museum write-ups are excellent. "A Pinball Defense System. That was your big plan, Dr. Robotnik? Really?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had dl'd Sonic the Hedgehog for XBLA - best part of that was you could save whenever you wanted. (cheap I know...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnonymousBroccoli 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 I might end up buying the game while my 360 is still dead. At least I have the option to do it online now. Before the online marketplace went up, if you were RROD'd and a deal came up... TS. It'd be nice to know if there's going to be a PC release that I'm able to re-sell if I so choose. Though $10-ish isn't that big a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousBroccoli 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 K, so much for that. http://braid-game.com/news/?p=519#comment-4665 There is no box release at this time. It might happen in the future, and I have talked to a couple of publishers about it, but for the most part retail publishing doesn’t seem worth it for indie developers these days. It’s a huge headache and your game still doesn’t get out to very many people, and then your publisher cheats you and goes out of business anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 Is Braid worth 800 points? I played the demo and I thought it was good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 800ms? Must have came down in price, I remember it being 1200+ and causing a shit storm on Gamefaqs for being 'overpriced'. I've only played the demo, so can't really comment on the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 It is 1200 points. A quick read over of the above article will alert you to the new lower cost for Gold members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted February 23, 2009 I thought it was worth 1200 points, so its certainly worth 800 on sale. It's a bit short, but I expect that from an XBLA original, and its cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 Hey guys, Braid is 800 points this week! LOLBBQsauce. EDIT: After playing the first 2 levels, I have no idea how anyone could get all the puzzle pieces without a guide. Half are simple; the other half seemingly impossible given the hero's limited skill set. Fun game, though. I'm happy with my purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scroby 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Does anybody plan on picking up Star Ocean 4? I would if I had the money and there wasn't other games coming out that I want to eitehr get or play before hand. I get bored with RPG games and quick so when there are action games coming out (Halo wars, Resident Evil 5, Legends of Wrestlemania) I tend to get those before hand. I may get it around April or so.

Half are simple; the other half seemingly impossible given the hero's limited skill set. Fun game, though. I'm happy with my purchase. Once you've cleared the game, if you play again, there are 6 stars hidden throughout the game. (Techincally 7, but you find the 7th in the last level if you've found the other 6). Even with the full power of the Internet, it took a few weeks to find them all. BTW, if you find all the stars, the end of the game changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted February 25, 2009 MLB 2K9 demo is up on Live. I'm downloading it right now. It says youg et to play three innings as the Rays or Phillies. Works for me. Oh and that the announce team this year is Gary Thorne and Steve Phillips. I'm sure they'll suck, but anything is a welcome change from Joe Morgan. I was sick of him in these things.

I played it and was underwhelmed. They brought back the MVP-style throwing meter for fielding which is nice, but everything else was very bleh (including the visuals).

Guest Smues Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Yeah the visuals were really a let down compared to the last few years. I'm hoping it's just the demo. And the demo can eat me for not letting me change pitching and batting controls to a type that doesn't suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
