There is an option to purchase it. However, I'm not sure how the Live Arcade handles previously owned games and redownloading them.

Everyone picking up GRAW this week may want to start looking and checking tomorrow. Even though the 9th is the official date I'm hearing different info, possibly the 7th or 8th.

Let me know how GRAW is. It looks so good, but I cannot afford it right now. Meh.. I started to enjoy PDZ with bots. It really grows on you.

Same here!!! I love the way it looks on the 360, but much prefer the gameplay of the PS2 version. I hate playing on live because people quit too much.

I'm trying to give fight night a fair shake, but I hate having to use the joystick for punching.

QFT. My EB says they are getting it on the 8th when I called them today. I'd hope that within 2 days they'd have their info straight (which EB usually does).

You don't have to use the joystick, y'know. Personally, I use Config3.

But then you don't get all of the different punches, or at least that what I thought. How do you throw the uppercut without using the joystick?

You can't, still gotta use the joystick for that punch, and the impact punches.

Yeah, I usually get people hooked with Config3. You can throw anything but the impacts and uppercuts with the face buttons.

The impacts and uppercuts are half of the punches though. You make it sound like impacts and punches aren't that important and only account for 20% of what you can do.

Burnout Revenge Review

Review #2

Review 3

The Bottom Line

Burnout Revenge is just about everything you expected from a next-generation SKU of this famed franchise. The gameplay is as solid as its predecessors, the online support is some of the best out there, and the graphics and audio rival most other Xbox 360 titles. The bottom line here is if you love the Burnout series, it?s hard to imagine you liking this game, super-mega HDTV and surround system or not.

I?m sure Criterion will admit that it is hard to continually reinvent the wheel. Lucky for them, they can skip the whole reinvention process and stick to smashing the wheel into a completely different shape. Burnout Revenge

March is the month.

You can throw uppercuts by hitting both the jab and hook at the same time (A+X or B+Y).

Not sure about impact punches.

I was playing "The Outfit" demo, but I'm kinda confused as to how to be effective in it.

It seems like I can't actually hurt people with anything but the bazooka or flame thrower. One time, I spent what felt like a full minute shooting someone at distance with a hunting rifle (and the reticle was spot on), and had absolutely no effect. While it was certainly an intense firefight, it felt a little pointless. Maybe I should have called in a stationary gun of some sort?

Also, my defensive options seem a little... limited. Are there any "automated turrets" or similar defensive mechanisms I can set up to at least give me a little time to react to enemy attacks on points of interest?

I'm guessing the demo would have been better received if they had put out instructions for it. I can't just magically know all my options in a game like that...

Hmm are you buying troops to man your defences as well?

I swear i saw the dev movies with him buying guns and troops and they would man his defences..

Is there a way to buy troops? I must not have noticed it. I only played it for half an hour or so before my wife and I ran off to a class. I noticed that I have some men with me, who seem at least reasonably competent, but buying more would be very, very nice, especially if they can man static defenses I buy. THAT would make for an interesting game.

I think I'll be messing with split-screen to get a better feel for my options tonight...

Yah you can buy troops when you pressy Y and see one of the options. I forget exactly what the name of it is. I think it's something like "Reinforcements" and has a picture of a few guys.

I could see buying it for $15-$20 used. I think it has some potential, but the learning curve is steep, and the initial presentation is not very appealing. WHERE'S THE TUTORIAL MODE?! Could be that it's in the single-player campaign, but it should have been stashed in the demo somewhere, too. Now, even if you get the picture, you're stuck playing with clueless newbs...

The gameplay is pretty damn fun. When I played it a Zero Hour it was single player only and I quickly got off of it. But the multi is fun,.

However the graphics and framerate need a MAJOR overhaul. I also was hoping you could play w/ONLY human people and no AI, but i'm not sure if thats going to happen.

I doubt that's even possible. The AI plays a rather major support role, from what I've seen. Without it, it's just lame WWII team deathmatch, with some heavy weapons interspersed.

I personally thought the graphics were fine. What happened to "graphics don't matter, gameplay does?"
