XBLA: Double D Dodgeball, Coffeetime Crosswords & Live Draft Tracker

Woo. Hoo.

I'll give the dodgeball a try though, might be fun.

Where's castle crashers!!

Dodgeball, lame. Crosswords sounds fun, if it were five bucks. Ten is a little too steep for my tastes.

Double D Dodgeball is one of the lamest games... It's sub-Atari 2600 level graphics and gameplay. Additionally, every time I play the demo it logs me off of Live for some reason.

And why doesn't Coffeetime Crosswords support the chatpad?

LAME!

Double D dodgeball... The title peeks my interest...

With a release like this the week of E3 one has to question if MS takes the arcade seriously or not.

Cofee Time Crosswords is a really stupid concept and your just stupid if you buy it as you can get this kind of action out of ANY local news paper for 50 cents or less. Lame.

Double D Dodeball actually manages to be an even worse title that also is way overpriced and is a big heaping pile of dog shit.
I mean, OMFG, warlords retro mode is a step up from this game for real and that game sells for 400 ms points.

I'm not even gonna talk about the Fantasy Draft BS.

What the hell were you thinking Ms?
This comes of as an insult to me on the week of E3.
Anyone else feel that way?

Where the hell is Warworld or Feeding Frenzy 2?
Yeah I wanna know where the other big arcade releases are too but those two games were shown off at last years E3 and there hasn't been a peep about them.

Shame on you MS.

I honestly thought Double D Dodgeball was fun and I can see some potential in the full game.

Once I got used to the controls I had a good time, but unfortunately the demo doesn't let you try any other options or win more than two rounds. The demo setup is bad.

The problem is that I'd never pay 800 points for it. 400 I'd consider.

...I think 2D Dodgeball (GET IT?!? It's not about boobs, jeeze...) could be fun with the full 8 players. Who can tell though, it cuts you off of XBL when it's loaded up... -_-;

The game seems to control well, and it's retro graphics are really nothing worse than Pac-man Championship Edition. The fact the game already has DL content listed in it's instructions areas, though "Get this character in the ____ pack" does seem kinda cheap, though. If the Packs come out free (like with EXIT), that would be pretty nice.

And who cared about it's file size? N+ is also a small game. And that doesn't seem to bother anyone.

I'm glad to see Yukes develop an XBLA game (Bring us Evil Zone!), but they do seem to miss the mark on proving the games value to the consumer. That seems to happen a lot with newcomers to XBLA... Small File sizes always start everything off with a bad taste. I dislike Demo's that give a very small taste, with no hint towards how the games progression or depth feels. Schizoid had a very good one, to make a comparison as to how a Demo of an XBLA game should be made.

Coffeetime is not my type of game, so, I won't say anything about it.

It would have been nice to have Castle Crashers / Bionic Commando R / War World / Etc this week, but at least we have a variety of items this time. It's not OPTIMAL, but it's nothing to be extremely disappointed over, either.
