Jigsaw's Blog: My thoughts on games (and other stuff)

Downloaded Games Week

I’ve been playing a lot of downloadable titles this week with a mix of Rock Band 3. I’m working on getting better playing keyboard, but that gets mixed in with my normal gaming most of the time anyway.  This week has been heavy on Xbox Live Arcade and Indie Game titles.  Harms Way release on Xbox Live Arcade for free this week so I checked it out a little.  I played some of the single player mode and I’d like to try the multiplayer but every time I try it tells me there are no rooms available.  I tried hosting my own room but after 15 minutes no one had joined and I gave up.  I’ll try it again over the weekend and hopefully can find some people to play with because it seems like it would be fun against actual people.

Costume Quest for a DLC pack titles Grubbings on Ice. It release Wednesday for $5 and I finished that night.  It was only about 3 hours but I had a lot of fun playing it.  The new costumes were fun and the story was a nice addition.  I really hope they release more DLC like this for it. I’ve got a review on XBLA Ratings: here.

I also have been playing Commander – World 1, Epic Dungeon, Decimation X3 and Score Rush on Xbox Live Indie Games.  All are $1 each and well worth checking out.  Hit any of the links for my review of the game on XBLIG Ratings. The Xbox Live Indie Game devs have been really stepping it up with great $1 games recently and I’m taking full advantage.
