Live Top Ten: Plenty o' Pinball


Last week saw some demolition to the Live Top Ten list with the Command and Conquer 3 demo shaking up the top three. This week, the same thing happens, but it's out of left field with Pinball FX, which incidentally was also the top downloaded Arcade title as well, popping into third, behind Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas. All of which are followed by Guitar Hero II and the C&C3 demo. Call of Duty 3 moves down to sixth, while GRAW 2 stays put, Crackdown moves up to eighth. 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures proves it has some staying power by pulling off second to last, with Oblivion rounding off the list at tenth. Full list available after the break.

Eets Achievements edibly available

Yesterday, to go along with the announcement of the double header Wednesday with Eets: Chowdown and Pinball FX, the guys over at Xbox 360 Achievements uncovered all the Achievements for Eets: Chowdown, while having had Pinball FX's set for a while now. So go ahead and take a quick peek and what you'll be shooting for in the puzzle game. We're kinda craving a Double Marshoburger ourself. That being said we're kind of curious
why "Smoreland" is worth 0 Gamerscore. Anyway, the game looks promising, will you be playing it tomorrow?

Double header featuring Eets and Pinball FX


For the second straight week in a row we have two XBLA titles releasing this Wednesday in one amazing double header. Both Eets: Chowdown and Pinball FX will be released on April 25th to the XBLA with both games setting you back 800 Microsoft points. We can't deny that we are extremely excited to get our hands on Eets, but are definitely open to a little pinball fun too. With two twofer XBLA weeks back to back we can't help but be excited for the Arcade and how it is shaping up. Now Microsoft just has to keep the goods rolling through certification and nobody will be verbally abused. So, is anyone excited for this week's Arcade offerings?

512MB memory card and exciting XBLA news

It looks like that silly rumor was true as Microsoft just announced a bigger memory card for the Xbox 360. The new 512MB Xbox 360 memory card will be available April 3rd, will retail for $49.99, and for a limited time will come pre-loaded with Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. Simultaneously, the ancient 64MB memory card will drop in price to $29.99 (be on the lookout for clearance prices). Also, with the announcement of the new 512MB card, the XBLA size limit will be raised from 50MB to 150MB allowing developers to run wild with their creativity. Microsoft also announced that they'll be showcasing XBLA titles Boom Boom Rocket, 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures, Eets: Chowdown, Jetpac Refuelled, and Pinball FX at GDC. Check out the full press release after the break.

So, after reading that informative spiel what is your gut reaction? We definitely agree with raising the XBLA size limit to 150MB and find the 512MB memory card to be a much better deal than the old 64MB version. And for curiosity's sake, is there anyone out there who just purchased a 64MB memory card and is kicking themselves?

Details on XBLA game Pinball FX


XBLArcade got the insider's scoop on new XBLA title Pinball FX. The official site for this arcade title is live and this looks to be the long promised 3D pinball game from last year. For features we're loving the Xbox Vision integration, the use of downloadable content, and head-to-head multiplayer mode. It's just like playing with a friend at the local bowling alley. This could be a fun title, but that is highly dependent on the price. Our sweet spot would be around 600 Microsoft points ... and yes we're cheap. Make the jump for a full feature list and additional screenshots, but be sure not to tilt the machine ... it's very touchy.
