GOD welcomes LEGO Indy, Saints Row 2 News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Xbox Live's Games on Demand has grown and now includes Saints Row 2 and LEGO Indiana Jones.
THQ and Volition's gang-banger Saints Row 2 shrugged off the genre-shadow cast by Grand Theft Auto IV with aplomb, exaggerating reality for a hyped-up and carefree romp. We loved it, as our Saints Row 2 review testifies. Head to the Marketplace SR2 page to set the wheels in motion.
LEGO Indiana Jones, also £20, had a hard time following a string of high-scoring LEGO videogames. The core's still there, and both big and actual kids will enjoy the ride, but don't expect too much depth. Plus, an improved sequel has just been released, although it's got problems of its own. Digest Eurogamer's LEGO Indiana Jones 1 and 2 reviews before heading over to Xbox.com to download, if you like.
And, for those of you who don't feel like splashing out, there's a Winter Sports 2010 demo to try.
Are you excited about LEGO Indiana Jones on Xbox 360?

Just can't get in to Saints Row 2.
I've tried so many times because of the good reviews and all the forum posts saying the humour is so good - but it's just unplayable in what I have experienced. The driving is horrible, and shooting not much better |

Maybe this is targeted at a niche (for now) who 5-10 pounds means litle and want the game without leaving home. On na rainy afternoon...
PRiceing in Portugal are worse, but in comparison they are better as a retail title here costs 60 pounds and they rarely go down on price (only changes if it's a Classic/Platinum). Saint's Row here is still those 60 pounds. And there are ppl who buy them...

They are too greedy thats why and now arcade games are going up in price how can they justify selling them if older games with a 1000G and much more content are the same price. I know there are some great arcade games out there but the GOD games would offer a lot more for your money if they were £10

I've given up complaining about the GOD prices now - because clearly MS aren't going to lower them - which means one of two things.
1. They're not listening or simply just don't care. 2. Enough people are buying them at £20 a pop, that they are seen internally at MS as successful. I don't know which would be more depressing/frustrating |

I reckon its just an experiment because digital distribution is the way forward for publishers I reckon. Destroys the 2nd hand market.
So they are now just testing the waters. Sure the prices suck but your first offer is almost always too high as you never know what most people are willing to pay and you sure as hell don't want to undercut any profit you could make. |

Weird. He never struck me as a Saints Row man.

@EarlBassett: Coming from something like GTAIV or Crackdown the vehicle and shooting physics will feel stiff as hell, yes. Get a friend to play co-op with you through the story mode, though, and the game will grow on you. I felt exactly the same when i first fired it up but after a few hours I was loving every minute of it. There's just so much to it, and so much of it is done far better than GTAIV.

IMO I thought SR2 was a little better than GTAIV in some respects. I'm still playing it now, even with MW2 sat next to it on the shelf. Sold GTAIV gods knows how long ago.
As for GoD, fuck off MS is all I can think of. |
