What is screen tearing? All these puzzle games are the same thing. Why are there so many Egytian themed puzzle games? Or Aztec-y?

Actually - and admittedly this is a plug - the Switchball patch appears to be already up! Maybe it was released last wednesday?

WTF is up with all this shovelware!!? This is the best XBLA can do? Really? Nobody wants this game. No one. Why is it here?

You guys occasionally come through with some gems (Rez and N+) but for some reason I've seen this surge of pure s*** games and it's embarrasing because I know how great XBLA can be. And this is not even close. I'm not expecting a home run each week, I don't want XBLA to be my own personal fiefdom where I determine what's good and what's not. All I am asking is look at TiQal and ask yourself "Is this the best we can do?"

If this Switchball patch updates the V-Sync. I will probably then Buy it, I enjoyed the Demo. Had a lot of fun but the screen tearing bugged my eyes out too much to warrant a purchase.

Funny, one of the things that put me off switchball was the tearing on the graphics.

Looks like i'll end up getting it now.

I guess the switchball update will include V-Sync to prevent the screen tearing present at launch and possibly speed up the leaderboard loading (they are so slow I assumed they didn't work at first). Was still a great game, shame I only just played through it before the update.

Agreed. Sierra has been good to XBLA buyers. Glad to see they're supporting Switchball. I hope we get new levels someday too, suvh a good game. They supported Carcassonne a lot too (I'd still like to see the other expansions though.).

As for TiQal, it actually looks kind of cool. I'll check out the trial.

Less puzzle/Zuma type games and more originals please (Castle Crashers) and classics like DOOM II. Funny thing is I have become addicted to DOOM again when I bought it for 400 points (great price).

Welcome back Major. Nice to see the update for Switchball coming. I'll be playing that one again.

Glad to see your posts again and I hope you had a great vacation with the family!

As for the arcade game, definetly gonna have to pass 800 points looks like a lot for a game like that plus it is not really my thing!

Good to see a developer continue supporting a product way after release and not forgetting it for the next one.
