Lumines to hit it October

One small click of your mouse, one giant leap for your planet: GreenDaily

Those of you hoping to see Lumines Live and Dig Dug hit on the same day (it could happen, right?) are about to be sorely disappointed. In a recent interview, Lumines creator, Tetsuya Mizuguchi, was asked when Lumines Live will release on XBLA. His answer: "Next month. The middle of next month. I think so." Not exactly the hard confirmation many of us were hoping for, but at least you don't have to stay up late checking Marketplace for Lumines tonight. Of course, we can't stop you from waiting up for Dig Dug.

1. Then why the hell did they give a release date in the first place? This pisses me off - it's not as if they have to do a whole hell of a lot of development for a simple port, especially a game like Lumines. At this point I'll be playing Lumines 2 before Lumines Live and won't care about the crappy XBLA version.

Oh, hell.. who am I kidding? Of course I'll wind up buying both. But it doesn't make me any happier. Bastards.

2. This is an excellent game for that PSP... Loved how it played was a lot of fun...

Hope it is only worth 400 game points though because that is all I think it is worth...

3. did any of you that are bitching about lumines actually read the review in September's Game Informer? If their information is correct, the game will cost 1200 points (or fifteen dollars). That's not the bad part.... I could live with that... but once you get far enough into the single player mode, it'll ask you to pay another 400 pts to keep playing. That's okay, I'll just play some versus..... OH SNAP I have to pay another 300 pts if I wanna keep playing that mode too!

I was excited for that game until I heard that.... since it clocks in at over twenty dollars, I don't need it that bad.

Small Arms? now that's a different story....

4. Speaking of releases today, anyone find the 360 Vision camera?

I went to three stores and lunch, and not a single store had them available (Best Buy, Circuit City, and Toys R Us)

What happened? Late shipment? Delayed? Wasn't it supposed to come out today?

5. Lumines Live! is essentially the same game as Lumines 2. A few weeks back someone did a comparison of the two and found that magically they are the same game different name/system.

6. Uh, What The Geek, you only have to pay for Vs CPU (Not local or online multiplayer) and Timed mode I think. I forget the other mode. Those modes arn't that big of a deal, are they? You are getting a lot of the good modes, and online multiplayer!

I'm dissipointed it's not out this week though. I guess I'll have to use those points I bought for Dig Dug or something. Maybe save the rest for some of the content like the Alan Wake theme.
