Erm.. no, it's cheaper than that... ?6.50 to be exact. Where did you get ?8.99?

And it'd be even cheaper if you bought your points card from an online retailer (ie. play.com, amazon.co.uk), as opposed to through the 360 dash.

Yeah, slight miscalculation. Sorry sir.

Keep your knickers on.

I've only played a few Amiga games, but that thing had amazing graphics back then. I remember one sword fighting game where you could go for the instant kill by chopping your opponent's head off. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world (I was a kid back then). I can't for the life of me think of its name, but I'd sure love to play that again. I'd like to see some Commodore 64 and Atari ST games on XBLA, too.

yeah, I'm late i kow :p but it's conan in case nnone else answered it, conan on the C64 (well it could ahve been the Amiga, but I don't think so)

Also I need to remember to grab worms when I get home today.

that wasn't conan, it was barbarian by palace software.

Yep, that was it. I was thrown off by the name because I didn't remember it being called "Barbarian", but I recently found out that it was called Death Sword in the US and that definitely sounds more like it. Of course, as soon as I saw a screenshot of a person on their knees with their head cut off, there really was no question...I just couldn't get over the title not sounding right to me.

Thanks for the help, guys! :)

can you play 4 players with one controller as its just silly if you cant

Just a little rant: The topic of this thread is "[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Arcade Thread." I know you are asking a question about Worms, but please be more specific while discussing things in a generalized forum thread like this one. Thanks.

Anyway...I had Worms for my Pocket PC a few years back and loved it. Will probably buy this one. That Alien game (Alien Hommid?) looks fun, but also looks like a game that once you beat you are finished with and has little replay value.

Alien Hominid. I applaud the unique visual style, but not more and won't be buying it. to me the name Xbox Live ARCADE denotes coin op classics.

If it was just old arcade games, it would suck. We wouldn't have half the games we do now. Why limit yourself like that?

just a personal bias, not something i'm adament about. of course Zuma's a great title and wasn't coin op. but overall i'd take arcade classics over newer releases, especially those already on the PC as freebies etc.

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
