    Is anyone else getting Marketplace errors on Xbox.com? Keeps saying “Xbox LIVE Marketplace is temporarily unavailable” when I try to add it to my download queue.

  • A Place for Us

    ‘Page unavailable’

    @wolfzero01,
    Here is a email I got from TP yesterday:

    Regarding the avatar, you know what they say, good things come to those who wait. We know you’re excited for in-game awardables and so are we! Through no fault of our own, we’re all going to have to wait a little bit longer but Splosion Man will still be the first game to support this exciting new feature. Stay tuned (and thank your Avatar for their patience!)

    So it looks like we have to wait a while longer.

    and it will be a shirt.

    I have tried this game and it’s one of the neatest games I have played. The timing of the tricks the way you have to center the bike in the jumps (unsuccessful you end up with a broken neck). I gave it five stars and will be getting it by the end of the week.

  • AndyW360

    The download is now working, I added it to my queue at 16:06, hopefully it will work for the rest of you now as well.

  • ImaginedBug

    JoJoStarFire… wrong post perhaps? ;) I downloaded it straight from my 360 when I saw the RSS feed for the EU Playstation store mentioning the demo. It’s a nice demo, but I won’t be picking this game up until it’s really cheap.

  • Mr Achievement

    Hopefully the demo can convince me this should go on my Gamercard… since I don’t see this being a big time Multiplayer Game and many of the Achievements appear to require serious grinding in Ranked Matches.

  • Sneeches

    this game sucks bad!!!! Dont waste your money on it!!!!

  • Rahul Duggal

    play the demo & decide yourself

  • NICK982002

    The demo was pretty good i probably will be buying this one like i bought the first one graphics are better than most games out right know.

  • Joergen8

    Have to say that the graphics are pretty awesome in this game. As soon as the first real time cut-scene plays (where you choose your character) my jaw dropped. Gives a nice sense of next-gen so late in the gen. If it werent for the tearing and some sort of FOV issue that makes me nauseous, this would be the best looking FPS game this year.

    Games like this and Red Faction give the likes of Halo3 a run for their in certain respects. H3 has/had an unfortunately glitchy/stuttery graphics engine which will unfortunately return in ODST.

    Also I liked the dynamic cover system where you can ACTUALLY peek up and around cover. Something similar was seen in MOH:Airborne and I wish it would be seen in more FPS games. But nope, its Quake all the way for most devs.. nothing new for 14 years.

    For those on the fence, get the demo, it is worth a go.

    I bought Bound in Blood day one, and the varying play mechanics are neat, but not worth playing through the game twice for, though the game is short, so its not a huge time sink to play through twice if a player wanted to. Is is a fun game, the story gets pretty lame (though the characters kind of make fun of the plot holes at some dialogue sequences), and the coolest sounding feature, the quick draws, turned out more frustrating than fun.

    Still, a solid old west shooter that will tide people over until the (hopefully) better Red Dead. An improvement over the original, its worth a rental at least, and with the recent price drop ($39.99) definitely a buy if you were on the fence at $59.99.

    I tried it and the graphics aren’t that god in some places although it looks fun and it’s nice it’s just not that interesting and it’s repetitive
