This looks like a REALLY fun game but it's just REALLY pricey.

Scorched Earth is still the best PC game of all time. Anyone who disagrees will be put in a rocket and fired into space.

Charging 1200 points for a 800 point game.. I'm sorry, but I find that price to be overkill. I'll just stick to Lost and the Damned. :)

1200?? okay i bought R-Type Dimensions because i couldn't fight off the nostalgia and it justified it to myself as being 2 games. but 1200 points for a game that worked perfectly well on my old 2600? nostalgia be damned, as much i loved these things back in the day i also already have Worms.

whats with this new price point popping up more and more? is this going to be the new standard?

@ultra_balexbot: Best I can tell is, if the "community games" want to sell for 400 points WITHOUT achievements, then they have to ramp up their "low cost" games to a higher price, to make the loss of achievements seem like less of an issue.

@WEGGLES90: I second this opinion. I guess 1200 really is the new 800.

@Thermatico: I don't know why... considering more and more Disk games are hovering around $40 not 60 now. :S

I used to like XBLA for quick, cheap fun.... now it's too pricey if it keeps this up :\

@WEGGLES90: Given the economy, too, you'd think Microsoft would take better advantage of the situation keeping XBLA pricing steady. I suppose in hindsight Castle Crashers and Braid proved that people are willing to pay more and opened the floodgates as it were. :/

Still, as much as I balk at R-Type's 1200 point price, how spoiled are we when $15 is too much for a solid game or two? Ideally, Microsoft and developers would lower the price of more older stuff and/or not bombard XBLA with nothing but higher priced games of late.

@Kobun: I don't think 15 dollars is a whole lot of money, but in the case of a game like this, you're just paying for pretty graphics. The game itself has been done over and over again. Don't get me wrong, because it's great fun, it just won't sell until the price lowers.

...Or I could have my little faith in humanity completely disproved and it'll jump to the top of the best selling xbla titles...

Someone should make a community games equivalent.

@Fireflynik: Except Community Games aren't allowed Xbox Live on-line multiplayer support, at least from what I understand. I do think the price will hurt the game since less people for matching will mean less Death Tank being played. It's too simple a game to have much of a single player shelf life, and not everyone has the luxury of nearby friends with no scheduling conflicts to come over to play on a single console.

I loved Champions of Norrath and Baulders Gate... I wish they would make one for the PS3 or 360...

Also, lots of companies are forming together. I'm starting to like it. Less shitty games and more good games are coming out because the developers are actually working hard so they can make money.
