So Microsoft have released their newest update for the 360 Dashboard to a surprisingly mixed reception. People everywhere are praising and criticising many of the new features which include:
- Friends list sharing
- Reshuffled Marketplace
- Marketplace Featured Downlods
- Xbox Originals as Downloads
Well, I will admit that the new Marketplace seems a bit crowded, almost an Xbox Live Bazaar, but the features on offer are brilliant. One of the not-so-noted changes includes great functionality fixes which make the whole dashboard seem to run much smoother (including the ingame menu).
Xbox originals are surprisingly awesome though, even if I feel like I am being forced to buy a bigger HD to make use of it. I’ve downloaded the decent Crimson Skies and the awesome Psychonaughts.
I’m not sure if we’ve mentioned it before, but it’s a game you have to play. Stylistically you can’t beat it, functionally its a fairly decent platformer which will just weird you out. One has to wonder if it’s doing long term damage to your eyes.
Its essentially just [Platformer] + [Psychotropic Drugs] + [Genius Game Designer]
Anyway, i’m tempted by Fahrenheit, but I’m not 100% sure >_>
WSAV has been posting the MUGEN videos (or more specifically Mark has been) and i’ve been somewhat active. Expect more from me when I get the cables I need for my Dazzle. Untill then Legend of ET is on a part-hiatus untill I get some art done.
Keep on Gaming,
James.
Ps. Awesome 20th Birthday yesterday
