Where is the free Arcade game?

Come on eAxis Emir, you need to be more patient.  MS can't give us the free game until they fix all the Live problems.  It's only been three weeks!

If you want a free Arcade game, download the Yaris game or Carcassonne.

why. just. why.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP

damn y no good arcade games im just glad this isnt the free arcade game i hope the rumor of goldeneye 007 coming to xbla is true if so make that the free arcade game pleasssseeeeeeeeeeee

Looked interesting from a vid I saw a bit back, but needs to be really good for 800pts. Still waiting on the Club demo and the freebee game.

These comments need to stop rabbiting on.

I find this game rather bunny-looking.

You must be hopping mad to release this!

I hope this game car-rots in hell...

And so on...

Why would anyone make this? This is just a waste of a week and it delays titles people really want.

Off topic but any word on the content for overlord and pinball fx tables that were due last year?

Looks like it could be fun but 800 points?! you've got to be joking. You've got to stop with the inflated pricing on marketplace. You're better off with a volume business which while still generating profit, also engenders positive brand associations and brand loyalty. yes you still make a proffit with premium pricing but the benefits aren't nearly as good as with a volume business model. I understand that you (MS) are not 'responsible' for what publishers choose to charge and merely offer 'guidelines' but... well .... come on.

Now all we need is Goldeneye Major :p

I know theres all the licensing issues but with all that work put in it would be a complete shame to can it forever.

Maybe even make perfect dark for the arcade while you sort out the issues with nintendo.

Is it just me or has the quantity and quality of marketplace stuff gone down drastically as of late, not to mention the work on this site? (no offense Major) I used to be able to go on almost everyday and find something interesting, an addon, a demo, a free tv show, something. But for the past few weeks, it's just been crap, crap, more crap and Rock Band/Guitar Hero downloads. Now that Major doesn't seem to be posting any marketplace updates, I have to check and waste time going through the menus looking for a tender morsel of gaming goodness, while waiting for obnoxiously slow load times that I thought the last dashboard update was supposed to alleviate (unless the slowness is just being caused by the whole XBL wonkiness). On a different note (something else that has been on my mind), I used to be one of those people that blew off the tons of comments that were people complaining about the DRM issue and not being able to access their stuff. I always thought that, "hey, I'm always on live, so it doesn't matter that I can't use them offline" up until christmas that is. Since then, I've been hit by that harder than I expected and I finally understood the beef that people had with it. I too wish there were an easy way to fix this issue in the event that Live decides to take a break again. (Please fix, k thnx) In any case, it's just kinda sad that we are paying for a service that hasn't been stable, the content seems to be drying up a bit, the support for it is falling away, and they keep pulling perks (Xbox Live Diamond Card = not free anymore). I've been a huge 360 fanboy, and will continue to do so (have 2 360's - one for me, one for the gf - the wireless racing wheel, headset, chatpad, 25+ arcade games, hd-dvd addon, etc), but my next gaming purchase is going to be a PS3. With the new stuff that they keep pushing out, I'm tempted to check the grass on the other side of the fence even if its online network may not be as seamless as the 360. Couple that with the whole Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD thing and I may have to consider myself an equal opportunity gamer (might as well complete the set - ds, wii, 360, ps3, psp). I know this was a long rant, and it's kinda disorganized, but it bums me out to see something that I could hardly ever talk negatively about make such a drastic turnaround and I had to say something. Anyone else feel the same way? Hit up the comments or feel free to send me a msg on Live.

I won't be buying this or any other xbox live arcade game until the DRM policy is changed.

YOU KNOW THE SCORE MAJOR, IT STINKS.

terrible

@Mister Switch - actually, in this case, Microsoft does have a say in the pricing on Marketplace content, since they get a cut on every game that goes up, and it's their network to put things on. Plus, they wouldn't want some company to offer a 400 pt offering that makes all their 800 pt offerings look really bad, y'know?

Also, won't buy or even play until DRM is fixed.

Goldeneye, Free Game, Goldeneye, Free Game.

Key to every gamers happiness!

Just pay the money and get Goldeneye MS. GIVE US SOMETHING!

PS: I still drop out of every 5 or 6 Halo 3 matches. No warning, just red ping, then drop. Never happened like that before the problems.

I'll pass.

Still waiting on Rez HD.

Blogging is the worst thing ever to happen to corporate policies. Nelson is the sacrificial lamb that has to spin. You can only spin for so long, man.

Geometry Wars was supposed to bw free, as were the maps for Gears of War, and those multiplayer Marble Blast Ultra maps... People remember and talk about things.

A volume based business seems like a better idea to me.

A. I'm still on the bandwagon about not touching a damn thing on the marketplace until the DRM issue is fixed especially after these holidays and Live being such a piece of donkey crap, and

B. Shut the hell up about Goldeneye already people. I guarantee that most of you that have your nuts in a twist over it aren't really going to play it as much as you think you might if it does actually get released. Christ, if you're all clamoring for that, why not bring better old FPS games to the console like Duke Nukem 3D? Sure, Goldeneye was hella awesome in it's time as being the supreme FPS shooter on a console, but really, this late in the time and day? If it came out, it would end up being about as populated as Doom is these days after a few months of being out.

Yes, finally this game came out.  I've been waiting for this one for a long time.  Now I can get my boogie bunnie action on all night.  Or maybe I'll just save my MS space bucks for Rez HD.  I think i'll wait.
