    Sounds like what Puzzle Quest 2 should have been. (Galactrix was the biggest disappointment EVER.)

    In other words, hell yes. #gyromancer

    @Gambit09: I do. I just see no reason in buying a game on it when there exists a platform I'm more comfortable with using. The 360's d-pad isn't anywhere near as responsive as I'd like it to be. #gyromancer

    I know some have knocked the first episode for being too straightforward, but there is a finite amount of W&G fan service in the universe, and I will avail myself of as much as possible. Plus my daughter will be super pleased. #xboxlivearcade

    I am starting to really hate Tell Tale Games because of their prices. The only games they have made so far that were priced well were the Sam and Max series. #xboxlivearcade

    @c4pt_chunk: I'm not sure what you're talking about, because they've used the same pricing for every series.

    The only reason Sam and Max was at a lower price on the 360 was because it was ported years after they'd done their PC release and a Wii retail release - two full years, in fact.

    You're upset because they aren't selling Wallace and Gromit at the same price they discounted a two year old game to? #xboxlivearcade

    First we get Puzzle Bobble and Bubble Bobble, and now Rainbow Islands?

    Pardon me while I say something I haven't said in many years... "I love you, Taito." #xbla

    Here's my thought process:

    "Rainbow Islands? I've got to get me hands on this shit, Yeah! *click*
    ... Oh dear lord, how could they do that to my childhood?"

    I do not like those pre-rendered 3D graphics, not one bit. Also the background looks so cluttered...
    I reckon the one I had looked Much better, and it was on the Amstrad!

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): It's absolutely hideous. I figured it'd be ugly in the way Bubble Bobble HD or whatever that sorry excuse was called, but this is an abomination. Damn you, Squeenix. Damn you, Taito, for selling to the before damned. #xbla

    @Kobun: Oh come on, Bubble Bobble Neo captured the original game perfectly, and was only marred by the fact it had no online multiplayer.

    This however. No.

    I really thought SqueenixTaito had turned a corner, you know? After those terrible Bubble Bobble & Rainbow Islands Revolution/Evolution games a few years back, we'd started getting games more suiting to the Taito legacy... Exit, Space Invaders Extreme, Bubble Bobble Neo... But this Rainbow Islands remake appears to be totally devoid of the charm that made the game great back in it's day. #xbla

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): Now that game is a boatload of crazy. An Indiana Jones dude beating evil middle-eastern stereotypes and women in business suits, with subtitles and voice-over that give SNKglish a run for it's money.

    Hell yeah, it needs a remake. #xbla

    I'm kinda surprised there's a market for these virtual pool games. Then again, I guess having a pool table in the second living room downstairs makes spending any money on these a tad redundant for me... #xbla
