Thanks for posting about the Guardian of Light discount, my son has been wanting this for ages but only had 900 points left.

Downloaded it for him today while he was at school so he was well chuffed when he got home

Torchlight is very addictive, I'd would recommend it to anyone who likes RPGs.

Swarm looks really good, and I'll be trying out Ghostbusters and Wakfu.

Rush'n'attack Ex Patriot looks a bit Shadow Complexy? I couldn't make it out too well from the video, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Added a bunch of points there for FHP, so I'll definitely be grabbing at least one of those.

I've never commented on there, but I like to have everything on show, I don't really want to sift through lots of bits to find the details. I do hope it is a WIP.

Had a shot of Swarm. I was sure it would be a dead cert purchase, but I don't like it much. Controlling the whole swarm seems to be far too niggly and it seems like whether they all survive or not is often out of your hands and more down to luck. I haven't tried Ghostbusters yet, but it doesn't look like it does anything that Zombie Apocalypse/Dead Nation don't.

Played both Ghostbusters and swarm. Not interested in either as they both seemd to be quite boring.

Looks like i won't be purchasing any Arcade games for a while,nothing takes my fancy.

I think Dishwasher 2 is coming April 6th so i think i'll save my points for that.

Good news and bad news peeps.

Good news is that there's another dashboard update on the way that will add new features such as an updated disc format(?). There's also a preview program again and people chosen will recieve a free copy of Halo:reach amongst other rewards

Bad news is that the preview program is for US residents only

As soon as I read "free copy of Halo:reach amongst other rewards" I knew it would only be for the US only

Wonder what other features?

Starting July 20, enjoy five consecutive weeks of the season’s most highly anticipated downloadable games, including:

“Toy Soldiers: Cold War” (Signal Studios/Microsoft Studios). Jump into the fray with playful ’80s combat action in “Toy Soldiers: Cold War.” Bring your favorite action toys to life and wage war against the red menace. Need backup? Call in a friend for co-op campaign action on the couch or over Xbox LIVE. Take a break from the main battle with Survival mode and playful minigames. When you beat your LIVE friends’ scores, they’ll be gunning to reclaim the top spot!

“Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet” (Fuelcell/Microsoft Studios). This side-scrolling, 2-D, action-adventure game takes players on a journey through the curious Shadow Planet worlds, unique environments filled with twisted life, surreal ecologies, hostile creatures and environmental hazards. Players explore the depths of several interconnected themed areas, fighting swarms of enemies, battling bosses, solving mind-bending puzzles and acquiring power-ups to unlock new parts of the map.

“Fruit Ninja Kinect” (Halfbrick/Microsoft Studios). The worldwide gaming phenomenon “Fruit Ninja” is now coming to Kinect for Xbox 360 in its juiciest form yet — YOU are the ninja! Your arms are now blades, and the battle against the world’s most delicious produce is just beginning. “Fruit Ninja Kinect” is an amazing evolution of the slice-em-up genre created by Halfbrick, utilizing next-generation precision power for the juiciest combat ever!

“Bastion” (Supergiant Games/Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment). “Bastion” is an action role-playing experience that redefines storytelling in games, with a reactive narrator who marks your every move. Explore more than 40 lush hand-painted environments as you discover the secrets of the Calamity, a surreal catastrophe that shattered the world to pieces. Wield a huge arsenal of upgradeable weapons and battle savage beasts adapted to their new habitat. Finish the main story to unlock New Game Plus mode and continue your journey!

“From Dust” (Ubisoft Montpellier/Ubisoft). Discover a unique Modern God game in which nature is the star. “From Dust” is the latest original concept by Eric Chahi, visionary creator of “Another World.” Behold the beauty of a primitive world pulsing with life and face the might of nature. Beware the danger of a world that is constantly changing under your command. Control the destiny of a tribe struggling to survive and help it recover its ancestors’ lost powers. Immerse yourself in a world as exotically beautiful as it is dangerous. A universe where nature reclaims what is hers and you are your people’s only chance of survival.

From Dust looks like it could be fun for a bit, but I wonder how long the novelty will last. Haven't checked out any of those other ones, will need to have a peek.

I only just realized this thread and I've been making topics on XBLA releases. Sorry.

Did anyone pick up Warhammer 40k? Really took me by surprise, I'm not a fan of the source material but it's a damn good twin stick shooter.
