I agree, but it looks promising and its not 3d unlike bomberman zero..

And with live capability meaning mindless bombing multiplayer games...Should be classic yet fun game!

[gigapixels Veteran]

I'm definitely buying Bomberman. Since it's along the lines of the classic games, rather than the abomination that was Bomberman: Zero, it will be tons of fun.

Haha, just played Bomberman(I know, I stayed up for it, not on purpose though). It's a great game, just as I remembered.

[jelli]

Been playing it for most of the morning, really fun, zombie mode is hilarious 4 seconds away from winning and getting blown up. :D

Can see some fun games happening with this one!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Woo got the cowboy outfit, it's so cool :laugh: I want the Cap'n Blast one though, just got the body piece to go :D

[jelli]

Been playing with a friend for the last 3 hours and have to say its brilliant, there are a few annoying bugs i have noticed sometimes while running and smashing A you can end up trapping yourself in your own line of bombs, the computer AI also goes a bit loopy and decides to run into walls from time to time this only happened twice in three hours though so not too bad. Also sometimes kick and throw don't quite want to connect with the bomb. Even with these annoyances and this is me being very very picky considering they happened only a few times in three hours I had a blast with it (pun intended).

Also i would like the AI to be increased in difficulty some of the things they do leave you scratching your head.

I have to say the cowboy outfit is awesome, but just got the wizard one and the cigar head it looks bad ass, can't put it better than that.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

^ yeah I noticed the walking into walls bug a few times. What annoys me though isn't the game itself, but people on Live. I've been close to getting 4 wins in a row achievement only for the host to drop so they can stop you (N) Think I'll have to host my own later :hmmm:

yup.. same here... I actually stopped joining games all together... I now just go right in and create my own, 7 people usually join in rather quickly..... this has def been one of my favorite xbla games so far to date...

[NeoTrunks]

Wing Commander is pretty fun. I've never played any of the older games in the series, but I understand this is nothing like the original games, from what I've read. Though, it's still pretty fun, with the team based play and dogfights as well. And Super Contra is much harder than the first. Loving it already.

Wednesday 1st August:

Both Marathon: Durandel and the Spyglass Board Games will be 800 points. The both hit this Wednesday.

[NeoTrunks]

Marathon now? I'm going to go broke :(

[Skiver Veteran]

all these board games, yet still no monopoly!! i want monopoly!

[TheFlusher]

Scrabble!

[Lexcyn]

Wing Commander is awesome. :D

[Remysaus]

Marathon is online, just played a bit, looks quite cool.

[NeoTrunks]

^^ Oh, it is, I assure you :yes:

[stanley porkchop]

I played Marathon for ten minutes about an hour ago and my stomach is still churning.

:x x10000

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

Anyone like Contra? I've finally beaten the game today on CO-OP. I'm missing the bulletproof achievement which means live off on credit. I love me some Contra! Hows Super-Contra..anyone played it yet?

[.KICK]

Bomberman rocks :D

[NeoTrunks]

I love Contra. Super Contra is more of the same, but 10x harder. I can probably help you out on that bullet proof achievement. I've got them all, myself.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

I bought Super Contra and Bomberman Live today.

[neoadorable]

only played super contra once, it's too hard for me. still feel good about the five bucks, i want to support the coin op classics program lest congress cut funding...
