This game is hard as hell on XBLA. It's a turn-based strategy game but when you use any of your resource collectors they make the ground all around them fall out from under them, destroying the whole area in like 4 turns. It took me 3 or 4 tries to beat the very first level on normal where you face one enemy. On the second level it's 1 vs. 3! I'm going to have to start over on easy just to make it through the campaign.

@BrianH They changed that a long time ago. There is no subscription fee any more to play games you "own" through OnLive. I don't get why people still think this so often. The change was widely publicized.

@Jack Kevorkian also I was playing over wifi.

@Jack Kevorkian Yes. I tried it the other night. Download of the OnLive service app was very quick. I don't have numbers for my internet connection but I know it's shared as I live in a condo and have BrightHouse (Time Warner) cable internet. I played at peak hours (7-9pm) which is supposed to reduce internet speed on shared cable connections. Tried a demo of Aliens vs. Predator. Control lag was almost non-existant and easily playable without annoyance. Graphic, sound, and frame rate quality were absolutely stunning on my crappy $300 laptop which can't play most modern games.

I really don't understand why this hasn't caught on yet. The only thing I don't like is the price of games, which is reasonable compared to retail and on par with Steam. This subscription plan is even better. But I get xbox games nearly free from Goozex by trading games back in for the same price (points) I paid for them. So even $40 games are really expensive when I can get them for a couple dollars in shipping. Even if I buy a $60 game at retail I know I'm actually buying multiple games because I can trade it in on Goozex for another game, and that for another, over and over.

I'm a cheapskate and this is not a good deal for me. $50/game is too much considering they will never be able to be traded. I get almost all my games on Goozex these days by trading in my old games. It costs $3.50 a trade. Hard to compete with that.

I don't work for goozex and I'm not posting a referral link, I just like to get good games for cheap.

I really liked the web-based promo game for Dragon Age 1. It also let you unlock items for Dragon Age. It was quite long and really a very deep strategy RPG, despite having not the greatest graphics. Here's hoping this one will be even better.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

I hope they integrate them into matchmaking the same way as the modern warfare 1 variety map pack. In that one the new maps were mixed into the appropriate playlists naturally. There was none of this Bioshock 2 style where it matchmade first and *then* looked to see who had the maps. It also didn't have DLC only playlists or required the new maps for the most basic ranked playlists like Halo 3. It just mixed them in like you would expect. Hopefully Bungie can catch up to where Infinity Ward was years ago.

@pyr0 Not to mention I also have to watch a commercial to watch a commercial.

why the hell is there an age gate when this was shown on monday night football??
