nice one thanks.. Glad I didnt bother getting Commandos and that rabbit game last night now. Tron - 5/10 looks generous.

xbla continues to fail

did you know they cut self-published developer royalites in half?

don't expect to see any decent indie stuff on there from now on :)

publisher content only from here on in folks - get your advergames here! get your advergames here!

It's funny that we (yeah, me too) look at these games as some litle funny things that no one buys or cares, but I read yesterday that most of them sell > 400K units, with TMNT Arcade on top with 700K units sold.
I should get out more... of EG, I mean.

"put simply, there's an abundance of better examples of the genre." (Edit: regarding Boogie Bunnies, obviously)

Yeah, with Poker Smash being one of them, and yet also scoring 6... :P

That's a picture of ordinary Tron, of course.

No mention at all of how annoying "message chess" is with no ability to find your friends with it. It needs an update.

@DB2k Tip: Read other reviews for Commandos - and Poker Smash for that matter.

@miiiguel : you are missing out of some of the best Xbox 360 games - and the best and most original achievements.

muscleblade, yeah... I've been told. I bought Rez though, haven't played it yet but will soon. I have to get out of this "hardcore" little box I got myself into.

I quite enjoyed the demo for Commanders actually, more so than that Band Of Bugs bollocks.

I bet Xbox Live "Arcade" is the first arcade with a chess game in it.

Regarding Commanders: Do you need an extra controller for every person who wants to participate in offline multiplayer games as you do in Carcassonne? Thanks!

DoT was a great game in the arcades; the cabinet was a work of art.

Have to strongly disagree with this review -- if you like turn-based games this is easily an 8 out of 10 game. I've finished the campaign and also the 10 battle maps and it was a blast. The game offers a decent challenge and the AI doesnt seem to cheat which is better than most games out there. The story in the campaign is crud but who cares. The 3D graphics are quite strong for the genre.
