The Xbox 360 Marketplace Thread

[Adam Ash]

Says it also improves performance, my 360 was slow after full update. When it's getting better, I still welcome more performance.

Even my PC loads faster than 360

What is slow about it? The dash is pretty nippy for me, not as fast as the blades used to be, but nothing ever has been. Tried clearing the system cache?

[Seven]

Just loads up stuff too slow for my liking. It's allright now, but I never had this problem with last dash upgrade (which I loved, granted not much as blades in early days but it was useable, and accessable)

I'm just still bitter about this dash really. Got in as part of preview, and I dislike how everything is. I've gotten used to it though, mainly because of Quick Play feature.

Little Racers Street looks fun, and it's once again reminded me of wherethefuck is the Mashed style game gone (think it was called GAS?)

[Tragic Magic]

Please can someone do me a really big favour and let me know all the arcade games, demos and add-ons that were released on XBLM last week? And what the deal of the week was?

My internet connection is slower than dial up at the minute and literally grinds to a halt when trying to sign in to anything like XBL or Steam. Even some sites like Hotmail and Facebook refuse to load and just grind to a halt. No idea what's causing it but I always like to check XBL every day. So it's really irritating me that I don't know what came out last week.

Thanks Delusibeta

Shank 2 is nowhere near as good as the first one. The enemies are all really cheap, the level design is dull, the bosses are gooseberry fool, no decent story, crap Achievements, and it's really hard.

[Harry Bizzle]

First one is unbelievably dull. Feels like a flash game. Was absolutely wrecked the other day and played it for half an hour because I was honestly to tired to get up and switch it off.


You keep thinking something good might happen, but it never does.

[melatonin]

I don't know, I sat down with it from start to finish the other week and didn't think it was that bad. It suffers from gooseberry fool Boss Syndrome like all games do, but the combat mechanics were solid enough for the most part otherwise. Slice slice, shoot, chainsaw to the FACE.

Basically I forgave all of its nonsense because it was in a sale. It's the XBLA way.

[Harry Bizzle]

I got it for basically free in a Humble Bundle and it's still dull as dirt.

Was marginally interested in the story so Wiki'd it and it's totally stupid and Shank is a tosser anyway.

[CitizenErased]

Is the option to have a custom picture on the dashboard gone now?

They say it'll be out in the next two months.

[CitizenErased]

Where is everyone buying their Gold subs these days? My current sub is not up until the end of July, but Ive been forking out €60 for the past 6 years, and I know there are cheaper options out there.

Does anybody use the likes of www.cheapxboxlivecodes.com ? Is it reliable?

Seven swears by that site, but I tend to shop around. I found a 12 month card for £25 in my local Sainsburys, for example.

I've used that site many times for points, never had a problem.

Sweet, cheers chaps.

[Seven]

Personally I would look elsewhere than cheapxboxlivecodes for XBL Gold, as I've find much cheaper alternative but if you need one in hurry then they're decent enough.

I just use them for MS points, really pleased with them.

[Saint of Killers]

Totally getting this (on the strength of the trailer alone)...



http://www.spelunkyworld.com. < you can play original game for free there.

[Christopher]

Yeah, Spelunky looks great. One of my most wanted games of the year.

[Saint of Killers]

It's given me the hankering for a Miner Dig Deep remake.
