Yeah the only one I really want from that list is Street Fighter, I wanna see more new games such as Mad Tracks, Hoopworld and Small Arms... Still a great idea though (those wednesdays).

Where the hell is Rootbeer Tapper??

Curry · July 12th, 2006, 18:12

Cloning Clyde is phat.

Zerodisorder · July 12th, 2006, 20:47

I'm more interested in the new games and not the rehashes of older ones...theres only so much you can do in frogger...

so i'm excited for cloning clyde, and hoopworld...maybe mad tracks too....something new and different...

July 12 - Frogger, 400 points (€ 4.65)
July 19 - Cloning Clyde, 800 points (€ 9.30)
July 26 - Galaga, 400 points (€ 4.65)
August 2 - Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting, 800 points (€ 9.30)
August 9 - Pac-Man, 400 points (€ 4.65)

for europe (not uk

so 400 points = cheaper then a big mac menu

YLA G · July 13th, 2006, 10:32

DenisDenis · July 13th, 2006, 10:44

Extract of a message from the marketing team in Redmond:
"(...)as soon as we assess the best recommended Wednesday release date for Mad Tracks(...)"
We're gonna get a wednesday too!! Now we don't know wich one...

Have a fantastic day.

Hehe yeah I also "heard from the grapevine" that they intend to stick to Wednesdays for Arcade content whatsoever

DM2 · July 13th, 2006, 11:46

Is it just going to be one game a week then? Better than the none that we have had tell Frogger since E3 and UNO.

Considering they apparently want to reach 50 this year, I think some Wednesdays may have more than one and others may have none.

YLA G · July 13th, 2006, 16:05

DenisDenis -> is it already tested in the certification team?

looking forward to see it on 16 august

I'm with you man, but sometimes the ladies like playing the 10 year old arcade games they remember in the donut shop as a kid. I may just end up owning all these games. it's only like a $7 us a week (average) habit, cheaper than starbucks!

Other noteable mentions for New Games;

RoboBlitz
Small Arms
Heavy Weapon
Lumines Live (if you consider that new)..

And DenisDenis, thanks for the teaser

, Hopefully we're all having a "Mad" good time before the end of August.

Curry · July 14th, 2006, 00:42

My GF is playing Frogger right now

kidkit · July 14th, 2006, 01:10

XBLA games are the only things I've convinvced my GF, buddies GF, and some other ladies to play. The more that comes the better. Curry, I take it you like the Arcade quite a bit too considering your last 5 games played are all arcade titles

P.S. Did she beat your high score?

Curry · July 14th, 2006, 02:29

No I still pwn the Frogger hi-score so far

And I had an Arcade round earlier today yeah, had been working too much so got rid of some excess energy on GW, MSR, and Uno during coffee

Frogger and Crystal Quest were my GF on my account.

Don't count on mid August too much, mid September is more likely.
Need a tease? Call me!

Haha, I'm just going to blush and not imagine what you could be suggesting

September works too, and I can't wait for Cloning Clyde this week. As soon as the developer mentioned OddWorld in an interview I got quite excited

Curry · July 18th, 2006, 12:04

Yeah Cloning Clyde is going to be fun

kidkit · July 19th, 2006, 18:35

Any First impressions for Cloning Clyde yet? I am stuck at work.

Curry · July 19th, 2006, 19:24

Rocks. Hard.

rather liked it myself, very playable, havent found the two guys to rescue on the first demo level though, found everything else though, the 5 odd tins of kronenberg might have had something to do with it though

edit, I only played that friggin frog game again to illustrate to the old man how bad it was, honest

DenisDenis · July 20th, 2006, 13:49

I think I'm going to dish out the 800GP this week end.
Fun, hilarious, off beat, simple, original graphics, and by far the best XBLA game so far (IMPO).
Check the demo.
;-)

No, guys who developped it are not my friends nor my family!!
