I love tower defense games.
Are there any images or videos of Defense Grid yet?



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

They just put up a couple of screens at the Hidden Path website.

Not sure why it says it's a PC game with no mention of XBLA at all- it's XBLA exclusive as far as I've heard. But they're supposed to show it off at PAX.

Not a thing. That's why I didn't include it.

And according to Kotaku, Death Tank is officially headed to XBLA! Glad they finalized this.

Everyone that owns an Xbox360 must download Banjo-Kazooie.

This is an order I think we'll all be following. Especially after the preorder deal came into effect. What a freakin' bargain.

 

I almost crapped my pants when I read the thread title.  I thought you were serious until the screen loaded. 

Duke Nukem is gonna show that creepy guy from bionic commando there's only enough room for one red(ish) headed badass and that's the Duke.

The summer may be over for xbla, but the fun is far from over, Duke nukem 3D, Portal: still alive and the origional N64 version of Banjo & Kazooie are just 3 of many games that will ensure that the winter is fantastic aswell........ oh, and castle crashers is brilliant, It has risen my hopes that one day the best side scrolling beat em up/rpg of all time will come to xbla.... Guardian heroes

Wow... Shred Nebula...! *drools*



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!
