Game Room for Xbox 360: virtual arcade + avatars

[RadarScope1]

Oh yeah, plenty more games. They've been releasing a batch every week since late May, but lately they've cut it down from 7 per week to 5. There's probably 50+ new games since launch day.

If you're only now noticing, you could probably go in there and kill a couple hours playing demos alone. Just start with the arcade stuff. There's only a handful of 2600 games worth anything (Pitfall, River Raid, H.E.R.O., Kaboom, Keystone Kapers) and I just haven't found a single Intellivision game that's worth a shit.

The problem with ALL Intellivision and MOST Atari games is control. Yoda would be pissed.

My games so far:
Finalizer
Scramble
Super Cobra
Shaolin's Road
Time Pilot
Juno First
Lunar Lander
Black Widow
Keystone Kapers

Soooo... mega old bump for this thread.

Game Room is still kind of half-assed but there's been a handful of good Konami arcade games released in recent weeks and at least two potentially cool ones coming out in the next two weeks - provided you like late 80s/early 90s arcade games, that is.

Jackal (1986) was released in pack 11. So far in pack 12 (the current newest pack) we have Twinbee (1985) and Blades of Steel (1987). Coming up in pack 12 are MIA (1989 successor to Rush n Attack), Detana Twinbee (1991) and Sunset Riders (1991). Sunset Riders is one that people have hoped would come to GR for some time and Detana Twinbee looks pretty cool to me: Pooyan, Amidar and Trick Trap 1771 are also in this pack but don't seem much worth it IMO.

Rumors say Krome readied up through pack 13 before they were cut out as the developer, so if this is true then hopefully some more early 90s Konami games are on their way.

Bought Jackal and Twinbee. Big fan of the Twinbee series. Great shmups, and definitely the best cute 'em ups.

Definitely picked up Jackal - it's one of the best they've had on GR so far. Doubled up on it with a buddy yesterday - fun for two players. I have enough space bucks for two more games and I'm holding out for the two I bolded above.

Sunset riders, hell yea. I will be picking that one up.

I played Game room after a while of ignoring it and there was like 10 game packs I needed to DL. Ended up buying Asteroids (even though I have deluxe) Anyone else have asteroids or asteroids Deluxe for some challenges?

[RadarScope1]

I have Deluxe - you're the top of my friends leaderboard. I'll do a challenge on it, though. So far I've only been in two. I'm getting more people on my friends list for GR, so I'm hoping for more challenges overall. Set it up!

[DaGamingMonkey]

Hmmm how is sunset riders going to work challenges?
Can't wait for that one to come out.
