Really?  I don't have my 360 online yet... is there perhaps a list of XBLA games I could look at online somewhere?

How much do these games roughly go for?  I pay about 29.99 for each puzzle game on the Wii (Luxor, Puzzle Quest, Geometry Wars, etc)

 

$10 (800), a few are only $5 (400).

Really, those games are $30 on the Wii??

Yeah, she loved the Hexic on 360... it's installed on our system along with 16 other games.  I noticed some say trial version, does that mean it expires?  The Hexic didn't have that notice so I'm not sure if it's for keeps.

 

Free trials for XBLA games do not expire, same with demos for disk-based games.

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
