Settlers of Catan or 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures

[Gaz-DanaWalker]

On Wednesday the 28th 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures will be getting released to XBox Live Arcade. (Well thats what I think)
Or will it be Settlers of Catan?
Or I could be completely talking pish.

Can anyone support me on this yet cause im quite excited about Catan?
Which would you prefer to be released?
Has anyone played these games before on another format or sequal and thinks it would be worth while purchasing?

Ta!!!

P.S. My xbox gave me the dreaded look of three red lights.
Its not a good sight to see. Trust me.

[Fanappy]

i personally want settlers!!!
minigolf adventures sounds like w*nk
I have only played it as a board game its good fun i dunno how it will play but castlevania is released this week so i will hold off for another couple weeks before buying it.

They both sound pretty shit to be honest.

We need some answers from Denis, how long does it take to put achievements and Live play into a game?

I want 3D Mini Golf....

I'll take both, I'd rather have Settlers first, though

[CleanSweep31]

Settlers of Catan has my bet... it is listed in the latest advertisment section of one of my son's magazines.... I think it is the April issue of Xbox Magazine.

I don't know what Settler's is, but I remeber an old Mini Golf game I had on the PC and quite enjoyed it with some friends. Hopefully it will be like that.

Settlers page has been live on Xbox.com for a while now, so I'm guessing Settlers. Minigolf sounds gay too.

Settlers is a board game you play with tiles. Basically you shuffle the tiles, lay them out to make a game board, put numbers on them (also shuffled) and then you set out your original settlements. then every turn you roll a dice, take whatever resource you get (based on what number is on which tile and where you placed your settlement) and try to expand your settlement.

Hmm it doesnt sound that great to be honest.
I could see myself falling asleep.
I thought it was different but il never know
till iv played the demo suppose.

There's a bunch of online variants as well for trying out. It's really great in all its simplicity

Online tutorial.

I wonder what's happened with them, it's not like I minded having JetPac and TMNT come out but I just wanna know what happened with that original "next 10 games for XBLA"

[Rossko_UK]

Actually they never promise 10 original games, MS simply thre out a list of the next ten games that we would see. Then TMNT came along which basically meant the list wasn't as accurate as once thought.

Basicaly, noone really knows when we will see the games. In fact, this time last week wehad already heard what the next game was going to be.... perhaps there isn't much coming this week....

List I heard today for upcoming 4 Wednesdays (after Luxor): Catan, Eets Chowdown, 3D Ultra Minigolf and Band of Bugs. Specifically in no particular order, so we can still do some speculating

[DM2]

thanks for that Curry, I haven't heard of Eets Chowdown or Band of Bugs anyone got a link to for them?

Thanks for that Online tutorial.

It was quite informative. It may have sold me on the game once released.

Heck, I may actualy try to locate the real board game as well.

[Curry]

That might be a challenge in Canada, but surely worth it if you like playing a board game with 4 people (it's less good with 2 or 3).

[Thryon]

Actually, the game was released in the US (hence Canada). I should be able to find it at Toys R Us.

Combining with some new info, it appears only Catan is 'releaseable' right now, so take the list above with a good grain of salt

That's all I need to know!

I can't confirm, but I'm not saying you're wrong.
(Curry is going to call me 'account manager' again!!)

Nice to see our game mentionned in almost all threads

[Curry]

You are an account manager!

Settlers of Catan is great, I can't wait to teach my 7 year old. I picked it up in a "game store" in Chicago. I hate to play kids board games ... pretty much games in general but it being on Xbox is a great thing. Now only if I could buy it once and have it on both my xboxes at the same time in the same house ... do we know price yet?
