    Oh Diner Dash. I hate that game SO much. The sequel was better but, oh how that game makes my blood boil. #xboxlive

    I could swear that the last article on Gyromancer (or its comments) said it would be 1600 points.

    1200 makes it really tempting. I should just stay away and dip into the Overlord bundle I bought on the cheap from Steam this weekend. #xboxlive

    @ThisCharmingMan: Ignore this one, then. It's an arcade game - it'll be 1200 points for years to come, unless Microsoft maybe decides to dock 400 points for a weeklong sale that's only for gold members. #xboxlive

    @spiderweb1986: Wouldn't that be a reason to get this one instead? Then once you're finally done with it, all those other games will be cheaper. It's a win win! Heck, you may not even have to buy any other games ever again! #xboxlive

    @Yiffy Curry: That's actually a good point. Wait a few months, and the holiday games will begin dropping. The beginning of next year is packed, so we might see some early markdowns to compensate. #xboxlive

    Well this is a nice surprise. I'd love to see Unrivaled have all kinds of hidden characters NBA Jam had, but I'm betting this is a pretty bare bones arcade basketball experience. The best news is that Tecmo releasing a sports title should help pave the way for Tecmo Bowl 2010! :^) #nbaunrivaled

    It's all fun and games until you start using Slayer or Dragonforce or something. Then it's bleeding fingers and trips to the E.R. Which, I guess, are still fun and games to some people. #odbeatdrop

    I tried hard to get into this but I couldn't. At first it wouldn't let me download it- at all. Then it froze on me - twice. I probably played almost one session and it's a nice concept, just too much frustration on my end.

    I'll stick to my Netflix and games. #1vs100

    The problem with it is that people spamming X can get into the mob, while people really playing don't get a chance.

    My girlfriend and I played all season, but the algorithm for getting in is ridiculous - neither one of us made it into the mob, even though we had scores way above others and played more than other people. I chatted with one guy in that had gotten in the mob 6 times. Six!

    It should be random, and accounts should only be allowed in once per season. I watched someone be The One and then was in the mob the following round.

    When you realize you don't actually have a chance to get in unless you cheat, it takes the fun out of it. #1vs100

    @jayntampa: I got into the mob several times without any sort of cheating. Just normal play. When there are tens of thousands of people playing, the odds just aren't great that you'll be picked. #1vs100

    @Tim Reilly: It's been pretty clearly documented. Check it out.

    And, again, you just proved my point that it sucks ... you got in several times while most people didn't get in once. That's not fair. It should be a one shot thing per season.

    @jayntampa: They same thing happened to Glamzuki and I, Jay. Very frustrating, especially when both of us would regularly be in the top 10.

    Also, you never accepted the invites to play with us! *shakes fist* #1vs100

    Do they have live shows that aren't on a Friday or Saturday night? I remember looking at the last run and I think they were all on either of those nights. I see the extended play kicks off on a Thursday, but there's no details regarding the Live Shows. I think that it would be great if they had one midweek Live Show. #1vs100

    They didn't last season, but they always could in the future. #1vs100

    Getting into the live game was easy. The problem is, it requires taking advantage of what was essentially a bug in their algorithm for choosing contestants.

    Before I learned about the bug, I could play all of the extended play sessions I wanted and I never made it in once. After I learned about the bug, I could not play all week and still be in the mob within the first half hour of the live show.

    With any luck, they'll have fixed it this time around. Cheating the system shouldn't work. #1vs100

    My sister has been bugging me and asking when it was coming back. I kept saying winter, because I saw the date December 31st, 2009 on the Primetime Channel. Good thing I just got my Gold membership back because she's gonna wanna be playing it. #1vs100
