It's a fantastic game alright, one of the best I've played. Defo pick it up corcaigh, and we shall build a kingdom for the ages, with cookies and such :P

cool, whats it all about? some kind of God/Theme Park kinda game? i wont be picking it, xbox is packed and ready for repair but ive always been somewhat curious about that game. Also think this thread should be kept alive, XBLA provided us with some of the best games of last year like trialsHD and shadow complex.

Well if a mod wouldn't mond changing the title to Xbox live arcade discussion, I think it should be kept open.

What happened to your xbox?

A kingdom for keflings is a construction/rpg game. You're a giant in a world with small human-like creatures called keflings. They wish to build a city, and you have to help them. You have to gather materials, turn the materials into structures, then use these structures to create buildings. As you progress further you obtain more blueprints, allowing you to create more buildings. The keflings are there to help transport or to mine, chop or shear resources for you, so you're not doing all the work. Online play allow for up to 4 - player Co-op, giving the game endless time as you or your mates build a kingdom. Hope this was detailed enough

That already began with Soul Calibur.

But more Dreamcast games would be great.

and if you missed out on this news, i know i did, afterburner climax is coming to consoles. its a new afterburner that was released a while back in arcades and its stunning looking, should suit XBLA very well with leaderboards and such and any sega fans are going to love it as well. plus only 800 points, could have been a lot more, if we were still in Sega from Dreamcast days, this would be getting a full release.

Turtles isn't great. Fun for a playthrough, but thats it.
Played the demo for invincible tiger when it came out and it was a button masher.
Not pushed about MvC2.

Played Darwinia a few years ago on the PC. Might be worth a look.

Battlefield 1943 will be 800 points in the deal of the week.

The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom will be the new XBLA title, out tomorrow for 800 points.

corcaigh07

like others have mentioned, Duke Nukem is 400 points in the deal of the week.

other news:Fret Nice(1200),Greed Corp(800) and Lazy Raiders(800) will be the new XBLA games tomorrow.

also if you buy Toy soldiers on march 3rd for 1200 points, scrap metal for 1200 points on march 10th and buy perfect dark for 800 points on march 17th and download the free Games Room app on 24th march, you will receive a free 400 points and a free 1 month XBL sub, all provided you already are on XBL gold.

Great deal because all three of those games look like they will be worth getting anyway.
