    As a Canadian gamer. It's good to see this sport getting some recognition.

    In reply to Lacrosse Title Debuts on Xbox Live Indie Channel
    I haven't spent much time with the demo, but it's a nice looking product and thankfully coming in at half the reported 800 points price it was shooting for (due to missing the cutoff date, no doubt). Any chance for a micro review? It does support on-line multi-player, so it's potentially got a lot to offer for that $5 asking price beyond, ya know, being lacrosse.

    Ridiculous, not even on the official site I could find this basic info : for what platform it is ??
    I guess it's PC, if they don't tell... But it would certainly fit on iPhone or PSP, or as an XBLA / PSN game. #symphony

    @masterage: Same, I <3 Audiosurf. Actually, the thing I like the most about AS is the puzzle gameplay. I always stick to Mono because I'd rather play it twitch-style. Lots of fun, but I'd always wished for a shooter version of the same music mechanic... I guess I'm not the only one! Very much looking forward to this, day one purchase. #symphony

    That seems to come to £15 in the UK, awesome...

    I've had my eye on Aquaria for a while now....
    Also interested in Acceleration of Suguri... I'm sucker for Anime style stuff... Also enjoyed what I played of
    Crayon Physics Deluxe... Didn't like "And Yet It Moves "Demo too much, but well the rest is all icing on the cake really... Time to get an Account here, I do believe...

    Any chance of adding a direct link to the deal in the article?

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): The DL version lacks a manual? Shame D8
    Here, lemme jot down what's in my manual.
    Z - Weapon 1, usually laser type weapon
    X - Weapon 2, usually ballistic type
    C - Hyper dash - You can dash right through laser type bullets. If bullets touch a ring that's created when you dash, you gain charge for your super meter
    V - Hyper attack - A super version of your weapons. Try combinations of Weapon 1, Weapon 2, and Special to get different Hypers.
    W1+W2+Hyper or W2+Sp+Hyper costs 3 bars to unleash, but is unshieldable.
    A - Special - Does nothing on its own. Use in conjunction with W1 or W2 for alternate attacks.
    S - Shield - Throws up a shield, protects from pretty much everything momentarily.
    T - Pause
    Space - Screenshot
    ESC- Quit #direct2drive

    @Shibuya ESPer: .... *looks in the folder where the games installed itself*
    Ah....
    Huh?
    Wha?
    Bwha?
    ... While the game controls are a bit more explained here, everything else seems to be for another game entirely, as there was no hint of a story when I played... also no opening moving or ending text which it tells me how to skip...
    I may just look into more RockingAndroid games though....
    ....
    ...Oh, I don't think I can get that perfect set in the UK... at least, not with those Soundtracks... No fair
    ;..;
    /\

    ... So is GUNDEMONIUM going to be any good? What about Flying Red Barrel?

    And oh, this so needs character profiles... Any idea where I can find them?

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): There aren't any profiles in the game as far as I know. I'm assuming playing AoS expects that you're familiar with the plot of the original Suguri.

    As for GUNDEMONIUM and FRB, haven't gotten to try either out. #direct2drive

    Obligatory link.

    In a world where b-ball has been outlawed, and ballers live in constant fear of persecution: one man sets out to escape his past and find a home for his son.

    Note: Not only is this game REAL, it is CANON. #humor

    @KassiaHaoe: Too true. I forgave the game's brevity because it didn't cost $50, and the puzzles were so carefully constructed, and the graphics, controls and music were so nice. But the story was like a Bad Poetry-Reading Simulator.

    The game would have been greatly improved by removing all text, all written references to the story itself. #humor
