I know, finally we get some good demos. The last like 4 were all terrible Kinect demos. I need another shooter to come out soon, I'm almost done playing Black Ops.

Anyone wanna talk some Super Meat Boy? Got it a few days ago and it is great. Just finished the Salt world, Grade A on every level. It's getting pretty hard though. Still, great game.

Anyone interested in Adventure/Puzzle games should check out Stacking, it comes out on Feb 8th I think and it is the next Double Fine XBLA game. It looks really great and unique.

One last thing, about Castle Crashers. It is probably my favorite XBLA game and I personally find it a ton of fun. When I played it though I would always play with 3 of my friends, and we always had a blast. For only 15 bucks, we had more fun than a 60 dollar retail game could provide, and we probably had a day or two of gametime by the end. I can see where you are coming from, but I really think CC is no mere flash game.

What stops it being a flash game? You can complete the entire story mashing the same combo over and over, each playthrough is the same regardless of which character you're using, there's a slight difference in look between the abilities of each one has but the effect is largely the same... the majority of the game consists of walking from left to right pressing the attack button. Sounds a lot like a mere flash game.

...aside from the fact you can be bored with three friends while you play.

I beat castle crashers twice and then it lost its novelty. Midian does have a point, it is a mere flash game...with a cool art style. Online mode is terrible, no one wants to play the game, they just want to show off their 256 characters and all their pets and weapons. When they're done showing off they leave.

But you obviously enjoyed it enough to play it fully through again...

I'll definitely have to pick up Stacking when its out. I hope they port it to idevices. I could definitely see it working.

Yup, it was fun while it lasted. But two playthroughs is like...3 hours?

I couldn't get into Geometry Wars at all, but not sure I should judge it as it's not my favorite category of games, though I do like Robotron 2084 and am pleased as punch to have gotten a code for it off ebay (the game is no longer available otherwise). Haven't had a chance to try it yet. Well, it's not available in the US. I don't know about elsewhere.

I like Dance Masters (Kinect), though, and that was a recent, here reported as lame, demo, so perhaps you should judge me. I also rather like Kinect Sports and even Kinect Adventures and I'd like to pick up a fitness "game" for it. Yeah, Kinect is fine by me. But the bowling sucks. Play the bowling in Wii Sports Resort or Wii Sports. WAY better.

I anxiously await news of any kind on a sequel to Trials HD, which I hope dearly will have vastly improved level sharing including sharing without being friends, rating levels, searching for them, etc. It could be exactly the same as Trials HD, even the exact same levels and level editor, just with that added, and I'd be pleased as punch and would download it day 1.

I need to grab one of those used. There are some epic exclusive games that I'd love to get my hands on!
