Xbox 360 Fanboy

Crazy High? It's $15 and I think the DS and PSP versions are still higher. So the XBLA version is the cheapest out of all the versions.

@ Scott

When Puzzle Quest first game out on the DS it was like $30 bucks. They release an HD version, with Xbox Live support and achievements but you still complain that they are only charging you half-price??? It's fucking $30 for the Wii version!

I think the Community Arcade was a blessing in disguise for people like you, who think that all xbla games should be free to play or close to it. It's not like games cost anything to make, or the salaries of people the who code your favorite game need to be paid anything... I'm pretty sure your rent is $0 and you're bill-free also...

You can get 4-6 arcade games (new IPs even) for the price a new retail game, so the pricing is actually decent. Not perfect but reasonable. And all of the arcade games have demos so there are no surprises when you part with your money. You can't say that about all disc games.

Wow, I didn't realize I was ruffling so many feathers!

I understand it takes time and effort and money to make games. It doesn't change the fact that games for the most part come out at 800 points on the ollllll arcade. So for it to jump into the rare 1200 point category, I expected to be blown away by the gameplay. I would probably enjoy the game and the demo was fun, but it didn't hit 1200 point status for me.
And don't bust my balls that the price came down from the DS version. Beowolf (garbage, I understand, but it wasn't free to make either) was $60 when it came out, now people can't give it away. Friggin Oblivion can be picked up for $25 or cheaper.
All I am saying is when games age or new versions of games come out, normally you would see price reductions. I like the game and I like the IP, but I am willing to wait for the crazy high price (in comparison to most of the XBLA games) to fall for me to enjoy the full experience.
And for the record, ur both poopy faces. :)

I had to go make sure it didn't play like Hexic. Thankfully it doesn't, Hexic is too slow and painstaking to play battle after battle. (Finally got my black pearl cluster this weekend)
