    True, too much information already posted elsewhere and a sure sign of laziness. Those who want to know what achievements are in the game CAN Compare Games with a friend (or a friend on a friend’s friend list) on NXE (and on xbox.com) and look at all Achievements on ALL games. The ONLY achievements that can not be viewed are the SECRET ones (i.e. Too Human, Ridge Racer 6, etc).

    Reminds me of: http://www.biteycastle.com/biteyWindow.htm for some odd reason.

    Nice work – colors, controls, animation and details (on the guards armor – NICE).

    Please can someone tell what so good about Peggle?

    Everytime there’s an XBLA post, someone brings it up. It’s been available for PC for ages now, And it’s really not that great imo.

    Great game and that is the way we should receive Premium Themes “for complete the game”

    I hope other games use this great way to reward us

    I’m totally stuck – can anyone please help?

    I’m at the stage where frank and his pet have flown (the pet is now able to float in the air with frank attached). I’ve reached a point where a power generator is positioned on a tall thin island that can only be reached by making use of the blower things. The generator is powering a large force field wall right along side and a large water fall is position nearby too.

    I have no idea how to ‘kill’ the generator – there are no objects available to hit with as is usually the case.

    It’s driving me nuts!

    The game is disappointingly short, but I still felt like I needed to buy the game, if only to support the developers. The game is extremely original and very fun, everyone needs to at least give it a try, it’s easily the best thing released on the Arcade since Castle Crashers.

    I really hope we can see more 3D platformers like this in the future.. Bring on Banjo Tooie!

    Major this game reminded me of an old Dreamcast game

    Check out this review http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pARffij0KaA

    I’d love for LOL to appear on xbox live arcade, seeing as it’s hard to find and more people should play it, who could resist not wanting to play it after a review like that?

    The demo didn’t sell me for sure, but I took a chance and was SO glad. I absolutely loved the game. The basic mechanic from the demo persists but just gets better and more developed. such a great game. Just a tad bit short but I think I can see myself replaying it in the future.
