Just giving the heads up as Penny Arcade Episode 1 is out...for a whopping 1600MS Points!!

I played the trial and it's not too bad but no-where near worth 1600MS Points it is listed for. Is this the new trend for MS now since the XBLA file limit has gone up? I sure hope not.

I was realy dissapointed with the Penny Arcade Demo, the look was great, and faithfull to the comics, but its just played like a big bag of tedium. And, even as a big fan of the comics, I didn't find it very funny.

Shame realy, the humour and steam-punk setting mixed with a traditional turn based rpg/adventure game had a lot of potential. Should be great, but isn't. :(

What shouldn't be great, but is however, I discovered yesterday: is Assault Heroes.

Decided to try it out while waiting for Rock Band to show up and was realy pleasently surprised. Very fun indeed. Only 400 MS too! :)

I quite liked it too, but the price put me off, especially as its episodic with, according to my mate who bought the PC version, 8 episodes each, and two seasons (sort of like sam n max) that would get very expensive very quickly, the same as Tomb Raider is going to be, I believe that is going to be episodic too.

Hey guys, I'm working toward getting 200/200 for all my XBLA games and was wondering if anyone wants to go achievement hunting with me... right now I just have 3 games I'm working toward:

Assault Heroes 2

Undertow

Aces of the Galaxy

If anyone wants to help, shoot me a PM or message me on Xbox Live... gamertag is Ayepecks. I'm mainly just wanting to do co-op on hard (and normal, in Aces of the Galaxy/Ultra on Undertow -- would like 3 others for that) on each.

Two games coming this week:

Another XBLA twofer: Schizoid and Golf: Tee It Up!

Posted Jul 7th 2008 12:30PM by Dustin Burg

Filed under: News, Xbox Live Arcade

Hey fanboys, we have some sploderific news to share! This week Microsoft is treating us to an Xbox Live Arcade twofer as Golf: Tee It Up! and the long awaited, highly anticipated and co-op friendly Schizoid make their release to the Arcade this Wednesday, July 9th. Huzzah!

For 800 Microsoft points, you can grab Torpex Games' Schizoid, a cooperative, explosive, color coded adventure featuring 120 levels of craziness, online co-op and an Uberschizoid mode where one player takes command of both ships. Yikes! We don't have to tell you that we're a tad bit excited to play Schizoid, so you can all but guarantee we'll be giving it a test drive this Wednesday and earning the coveted Sploderific achievement. Also releasing for 800 point this week is the cartoonified golfing game Golf: Tee It Up! where eighteen holes of online golfing competition with up to four players awaits. Unfashionable golf shorts not included. Check the screenshots below and drool over the Schizoid greatness.

Double update for Live Arcade tomorrow

News by Rob Purchese

Microsoft is preparing a double dose of Live Arcade games for tomorrow.

1942: Joint Strike we already knew about; the Capcom top-down shooter from the brains behind Commando 3. This is being brought up to date with 3D graphics and new music.

Go! Go! Break Steady, on the other hand, is a rhythm-puzzle game which looks rather charming. Break Steady is by indie team Little Boy Games in Canada, and casts you as a cartoony breakdancer who pulls off moves by matching button presses to beats. There are around 20 songs to work through, on your own or with and against friends, online and locally.

Both games will cost 800 Microsoft Points, or GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60 in real money.

Look out for our thoughts on 1942: Joint Strike and Go! Go! Break Steady soon.

Source: Eurogamer

I got 1942. It's pretty fun, but fairly hard (IMO). The continues thing is stupid, and the bosses are just stupid as well.

I played the trial to that last night and found it slightly difficult but wasn't sure if its worth the points...is it worth it?

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
