Go! Go! to the XBLA for Break Steady & 1942

Meh, another lukewarm XBLA Wednesday

I'm saving my points for the Guitar hero 3 pack tomorrow. MOAR BUCKETHEAD :D

The 1942 demo was surprisingly awesome. I'll check my balance when I get off of work and if there's room to spend I'll pick it up.

Joint Strike was good, but the GGBS experience can be had by pausing Zuma every 4 shots to play simon. And the music is just generic house/trance. For something claiming to be a rhythm game the music sure sounded a lot like a soundtrack instead of a guide.

1942 is another stellar arcade release from Capcom.
2 player co-op great graphics and sounds go along with a gameplay that is solid.
My only complaint about this game is the airplane shadows and noises it makes when you move through the options and even when you pause it.
It's just annoying.
Still a fantastic buy.
#72 for me. never got the schiz.

As far as gogo goes,
I can't really tell what to make of this game.
It's kinda neat but kinda not.
I know one thing for sure, my feelings on it would be alot more solid had this game released for 400ms points instead.
Its an alright game that I have to compare to Boom Boom Rocket on quite a few levels. I would have liked to of heard more sound coming out of the game when you nail the proper buttons, just left me wanting more I guess.
Maybe for 5 bucks one day.

More importantly we got the releases of the N+ content Pack 1 and the Puzzle Quest Expansion! ;D

Playing 1942 makes me smell the stale ash and BO aroma of the arcade I used to go to when I was too young to be allowed to go to arcades.

Ahhh, the rose-tinted nostalgia goggles still fit snugly...

Wow, this Go! Go! Break Steady is really really good. It's a combination of Boom Boom Rocket and Zuma, and fairly challenging, too.

It's definitely worth the 800 MSP. Really.

If this is what XNA can do...

After spending more time with it I Do have to say that GOGO break Steady is a solid game and is most likley worth the 800 ms points they are asking of it.
I will go as far as to say this is a much better game than Boom Boom Rocket.

Go! Go! Break Steady is surprisingly fun! Seemed like a weird combination the rhythm and zuma puzzle but it actually works. Takes a little bit playing to get the hang of it. Worth the points. My 2 cents.

No video this week? :(

I'm really liking 1942
