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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
