you guys have to pay for everything... even as simple as themes and user pics? someone is nickle & diming you.
... and I'm really curious as to which idiots ARE actually paying for crap like this!?
Paying for themes and pictures and old reruns. CRAZZZZY. M$ making money on stuff like this and still not lowering prices for games. I just don't get how gamers can justify paying $50 dollars for being online and then having to pay also for every other ridiculous content made available.
Why would you want to pay for Screwattack gamer pics?
What next, Noobtoob
I'd rather buy gamer pics of Ann Coulter's rotten vagina before I buy pics of crappy sites

Verdict: "There's nothing wrong with a dungeon crawl, but there is something wrong with one as simplistic and repetitive as this. The low price and co-op play are enticing, but this is definitely one to enjoy in small amounts."
Overall: 6 out of 10
Who doesn't like a good hack and slash RPG? They don't take up too much brainpower, they allow you to slice and dice goblins, and there's tons of nifty gear to find and collect. Hell, Diablo and its sequel sold like a ho-billion copies! Apart from Gauntlet, though, Xbox Live Arcade hadn't really tapped into the hack-and-slash market...until Arkadian Warriors, that is. Developed by the guys behind the awesome Assault Heroes, Arkadian Warriors feels very much like Diablo Lite, lacking the depth and variety of Blizzard's RPG, but considering the 10 dollar pricetag...that's to be expected.
UGO gives Arkadian Warriors an overall rating of C. Review by Russell Frushtick.
Give me Diablo gameplay and it's an instant buy for me.
