    I like how the "note from the developers" in the store for Contrast refers to the "sweet 1000 g" in the game. laugh

    Are there people who played Contrast on the 360 recommend this game?

    Never heard of it before, but the PR message in the discription sounds tempting laugh

    I forgot about Contrast - looked very interesting! Might grab this one!

    EDIT: Scratch that, just read some exceedingly mediocre reviews... I'll wait for Games With Gold.

    Already played contrast on 360, personally I thought it was pretty average but an easy completion at least. Be careful with your money, I smell a future GwG title.

    Speaking of, July GwG has been announced -
    360 - (1st-15th) Gotham city Imposters (16th-31st) Battleblock theatre.
    One - (July throughout) Max (again!!) and Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition.

    Guacamelee! Isn't available outside of US so I don't know if they're going to release it or give us something else.

    Quote from major nelsons blog - Some regions may offer different titles depending on market availability.
    I went outside once, the graphics were amazing but the characters and storyline were truly awful.

    IGN are reporting that it's Max: The Curse of Brotherhood that will continue through July. I'm in the UK so maybe it's region specific? No idea...

    It's true, look at major nelson blog post again, it has like this huge picture of Max laugh
    However, it did mention Halo:SA so that might be why he thought that.

    facepalm

    I'm a fool! I did indeed write the wrong game, I edited it though so it wouldn't mislead anyone else.

    Still, I wonder what will happen for the second game outside US

    I regret buying Zombie Driver for $15 now. I wish I would have paid more attention to Contrast coming out today.
    Does this smell like chloroform to you?

    The puzzle mechanics using the objects' shadow adds some flavor to the genre, not so much as using them to make shapes, but to traverse the landscape to reach high ground and places out of reach. I quite enjoyed that aspect.

    Also should add that there's some really good mellow jazz that sets the mood so well. Love it!

    Tough call on the Sudoku... those medal achievements are so frickin' annoying but I love Sudoku.
    Ha ha, Charade you are!

    I'm tired of Arkadium's pattern of achievements whereby 12 months of your time is required: Taptiles, Microsoft Minesweeper, and now these...
