XBOX Live Game Room

Must be coming on soon the final part of the Avatar prop code is on the dash I've just redeemed it and got a BQ Grill.

I notice the full game link is not yet live on the US marketplace page for Game Room (from in the first post).

installed gameroom plus the first 2 game pack's, Gameroom will load about 25% and then go no further... hmmm

edit

had a look around the net, seems this is happening to everyone.

Xbox Game Room Is Live And Broken

There's a temporary fix, if you load the Game Room, sign out and then sign back in it works.

Have to say the initial game line-up is very poor, but it may get more interesting if better stuff is released.

Also quite frustrating, however faithful to the original, to have to pull up the original console interface to go through menus e.g. the Intellivision number pad.

Are there any free games or do you have to buy everything?

Can't see any full games that are free, you just get demo goes on them.

Seems to be proper fixed now.

Sega Turbo with wheel support would be nice. I don't know if they could pull of the sound of a real cabinet (which was one of it's best features).

hmmm, just tried to buy a game in the game room and nothing happens. Anyone else getting the same?

Pretty disappointed with the launch line up, nothing I wanted to buy so my game room is empty. Already have asteroids, scramble and r-type as live arcade games, but looks like you need to buy them again if you want to use them in the game room. Why couldn't they have included something like Pole Position, Sinistar, Battlezone or similar.

quite like it so far, got Asteroids and Lunar Lander.

apparently 5 or more games a week are to be released and M$ are trying to bring as many old systems as they can to it (C64 please, sooner rather than later).

Do the two free game packs just contain demos then? I haven't had chance to turn my xbox on let alone download and try this out yet.

biron_w · 25 Mar 2010 at 01:03

I'm gonna wait to see if some decent games come out that I want to play.
Games like Side Arms,Dragon Breed,Black Dragon,Strider,Ninja Spirit.

The launch line-up is pretty crap to be honest. If they had Namco and Taito in there along with much better games, it would be nice, but then I guess the whole point is trying to make us waste our money on getting those better games when they'll hopefully become avaliable.

shauncr91 · 25 Mar 2010 at 02:27

Just installed it and downloaded game packs...how do you actually play them ?

Edit: Nevermind, got it

Jamesdavid3 · 25 Mar 2010 at 08:22

those games are crap. they could have some REAL Arcade machines as the 360 can handle it. Instead we get these CRAP 2D games which my 1Mhz machine could handle...
