Can’t wait! Hoping to win a free code, but either way I’ll have this game as soon as I can afford it.
I chex mix ho I

i will have to check out the demo to see if its worth the 1200 points. the extra 400 points and one free month of live is somewhat tempting as an incentive to get this.

Really excited for these next few days. Block Party has my full attention!

I’ve been curious about this one for a while now… I can’t wait to try the demo and decide it it’s worth $15 or not.

I’m glad the developers put effort into this game, but I’m just personally not interested, especially consider I feel it’s a bit too expensive.

Perfect Dark has the right idea, as they’re releasing it for only 800 points, which is going to get tons of sales.

BTW Major, do you know when Mega Man 10 is coming out on Xbox Live Marketplace? It just got released on Wii today.

I don’t understand the “I don’t buy 1200 point games” nonsense. If it’s a good game and you enjoy it, buy it! Support indie development on the Xbox!

I’ll take a quality original title like this that costs $15, as opposed to most of the $60 stuff…

This looks so awesome! I love Tower Defence, this looks incredible, I wanna fly that plane around

I’m completely willing to pay the 1200, I want to encourage the developers to keep making awesome games like this.

I don’t think ill pick this game up since I don’t like RTS games in consoles. Ill play the demo and if it the controls are good I might change my mind.

I’m one of few who got the game before the release, I got it on Sunday since i must say i changed my mind since i heard of the game, Its not easy but isn’t that what you want anyway, I would get this game if i could, but i already got it xD 4 free!
