Q Entertainment founder Tetsuya Mizuguchi spoke with IGN today to defend his choice to split Lumines Live into four pieces (Basic, Advanced, VS CPU, and Mission / Puzzle pack). He gives two reasons for the division: the 50 MB limit on XBLA title (understandable) and the customizable nature of the game (not understandable). Mizuguchi considers it the business model of the future.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
I really like this game after playing the trial version. Problem is I think the pricing is a rip off and for that reason I will not be buying this game. Dont fall into the trap. If people dont buy it then it will put an end to these stupid prices.If people do buy it then expect to see a lot more of it. The consmer has the power at the end of the day, make use of it or we will be getting ripped off left right and centre. Its a shame cause the game is excellent.
If you dont like the game, dont buy it. Simple as that. While the price is higher then normal XBLA games this should come as no suprise. Games, yes even small ones, are going to cost you. Just buy the XNA tool and make your own games that way you have one reason not to complain.
So what does the PSP version cost?
1. 'I think that XBOX consumers are naive.'
2. 'I want to make as much money as possible.'
If Lumines would have came out on DVD format for the 360 it probably will be anywhere from $39.99 to $49.99. So im not complaining about the price.
Also when the PSP version came out it had a price range of $39.99 so to compare it now to the 360 version is irrelevant.
