This game changed my life. Period.

Simple: I need more storage for all my XBLA games. Help!

Boy, do I need those MS points! All these XBLA games to try...

Would I have it any other way? YES. Yes I would.

I may not be able to get all the GH II achievements (I'm at 730/1000) but I would have fun *trying* to get them or *dreaming* of being good enough to get 5 stars on everything on Expert. But these new ones are just annoying -- Play a whole career with the 360 controller? Play a whole career on lefty flip? Win 15 consecutive songs online with the controller?!? Win 500 online matches??!?!?

And then a bunch more of them seem crazy hard. It's much better to have a *range* of difficulty in your achievements. This game is supposed to have mass appeal, right? Not just for the hardcore? Not according to these achievements. Boo RedOctane, Boo.

(And this is actually coming from a pretty hardcore gamer.)

Another discouraging comment? At least Joystiq let me rave about the game in one post. I guess X360F towers is filled with pessimists. How's that for discouraging?!

How about the fact that all you do is shoot stuff. It's the same as DOOM, only DOOM is cheaper! Guess I know where I'm spending my money.

My favorite part is definitely all the bioing and shocking! Oh and that liquidy stuff...um...water -that's it!

Try "using" one of the faucets in the bathroom. Sometimes a totally different one turns on and the one you want doesn't. Nice attention to detail...stupid heads.

Level Up has much more informed speculation if you'd like the other side of the story.

Basically, why would MS recently send a crack team of engineers to Rockstar if the 360 version was working perfectly?

Well, Commanders: Attack! does at least say "this Fall". Switchball is already out on the PC, so I can't imagine it would be out any later than late 2007. Battlestar Galactica is listed in OXM as Q3 2007, so we'll likely have that one this year too. Should be a great holiday season for XBLA.
