Post you impressions of the two new titles in the comments section below.
Retro Megaman is a good idea… but it isn’t 16×9
End of story.
4×3? WTF?
isn’t live down?
only for one day, now it is up again.
800 for Mega Man 9? You’re having a laugh, surely?
Well, considering they had these huge development costs… oh wait
mega man 9 is a joke…
war world ain’t great either
“War World is a fast moving fist/third person shooter”.
Ehhh…
Fist?
Mega Man X owns Mega Man 9
Erm, Mega Man 9 looks like shit, i was expecting it to be all nice looking and updated.
400pts, maybe but even then, maybe not.
Looks aren’t everything.
And why complain about it should be 400 msp when it’s a whole new game? It was made to be a 8-bit style on purpose.
A retro game like this should be no more than 400 MS Points. And this is possibly the worst retro game I have ever played on the Arcade. I wouldn’t even pay 100 points for it, it’s that bad.
Lol, my point is the game isn’t retro which is why the price is understandable. It was just made to look 8-bit on purpose.
This game is as retro as retro gets. It’s awful. 2D side scroller with horrific AI and framerate with awful 8 bit graphics, done on purpose?
I could release the contents of my ass on the XBox Live Arcade and no matter what way you wrap it up, it still ain’t gonna be worth 800 points.
Framerate, and AI? Did you not understand the meaning of “on purpose”
Just too much for those kind of games. I rather save my points for proper dlc of forza, cod4 or gta.
Seconded. Although, I’m less concerned about the GTA content now. It’s taken too long to appear and Saints Row 2 is coming out soon and is looking set to own GTA’s ass. This is coming from a hardened GTA fan, by the way. Saints Row 2 has co-op as well. Looking forward to that one.
anybody play war world yet and if so, is it any good.
War world is horrible. The developers must have known they created garbage and is the reasoning the demo literally lasts 60 seconds.
