Re: Arkanoid.

It isn't even listed under the marketplace new releases, had to look it up alphabetically. Haven't tried this or Space Invaders yet, will do in a bit.

Re: Arkanoid.

Can play the trial ok but still can unlock the full version, think they are having issues.

Invaders is nice, not 100% sure I will be buying it.

Re: Arkanoid.

Just tried it, great stuff, exactly the same as before but with enemies. Also has the old frustration of not being able to get that last block!

Re: Arkanoid.

Re: Arkanoid.

Arkanoid is a favourite of mine, but I don't think I can justify the 800 point cost. Seems a bit steep for such an old/simple game with little-to-no changes.

Re: Arkanoid.

Does anyone know what the hell is going on with this game? I like Microsoft, but their xbox support is just laughable. That guy Major Nelson and Inside Xbox are all for announcing stuff but theres no comments when there's a problem, or when people question the price or why it's only certain regions. It's as if they put their hands on their ears and shout la la la la to peoples comments.
