Xbox Live's Major Nelson

This week on Arcade: Poker Smash plus a Crystal Quest update

Poker Smash will be available this Wednesday for 800 points.

Additionally, Crystal Quest will receive a free gameplay update this week.

According to the press alert, here are the update details:

Developer Stainless Games has added a fresh twist to the puzzle action by incorporating a score multiplier. This update will make the game slicker and faster than before and opens up the possibility of even higher scores!

The score multiplier increases every time gamers pick up a crystal, but failing to pick up a crystal or getting zapped negates the multiplier. To keep a level playing field, old Leaderboards will be retired after the update, but will still be viewable for posterity’s sake. The update also includes improvements to downloadable content, which is part of Stainless Games’ ongoing commitment to constantly improve the player experience.

Will Crystal Quest get more achievements?  Anyone know of a site that has a list of all games that are >200 or >1000?  I just found out Phantasy Star Universe is now 1250.

Poker Smash does look good.

I think he's just playing sick to catch up on all the games he wants to finish.  Come to think of it, I think I'm coming down with something as well...

Poker Smash looks really good. I've heard many good things about it, definitely a neat concept.

also it's good to see a Crystal Quest update. It's rare companies continue to support an XBLA title this late in it's life, especially a retro remake.
