    not saying you hacked it or anything, just curious. Howd u get it early?
    I'm a game journalist/reviewer so I tend to get access to games ahead of the general public. I was actually a little late with Breach as I was dealing with a family death, but I started playing around Friday so I've had a decent bit of playtime.
    Sorry to hear about that and my condolences.
    I'll have to give it a shot if you're saying it's fun. What's the downside to Breach?
    Thank you.

    Downsides are a slightly picky cover system, weak feeling guns and a fairly small weapon selection.
    My main concern about the game is that people will just see it as a standard FPS and try to play it as such, and when played a straight FPS Breach wouldn't have much to make it stand apart.

    PASS

    not taking a chance on any original XBLA FPS' anymore. Plus the hype for this is smaller and quieter then it was for Blacklight, which doesn't bode well for those hoping to find many multiplayer games.

    I'll pass and wait for the price to go down... 1200 is a little steep imo.

    Is it possible to join matches in progress or do you have to wait for a certain number of people to join before you begin a match?
    Is it really an achievement if it's easy or everyone has it?

    Why am I still a bunch of swamp-ripples?

    Sorry, on topic; I will be downloading the demo, but I probably won't buy it unless it's superb - I'm not tight, but I really hate the 1200 price point!

    The marketplace says "Gold Exclusive", but my dashboard don't have anything special and it's selling for 800.

    EDIT: Ok so, I went in with a silver account, and I just can't buy the game. I think the price is 800.

    EDIT2: The price is 1200 on the US and the GB marketplace. The 800 is probably a Canada thing only.

    No. Points are region coded. Only a Gold membership works worldwide. You'd have to buy Canadian points, and Microsoft made it so that you cannot play other region stuff on your 360 anyway.

    Thanks for the info on the points.

    What do you mean 'other region stuff'? Surely it's the same content, just at a cheaper price? Or have they implemeneted something new?

    After a bit of research, I'm wrong, the only region locked thing on the marketplace is the Video Marketplace.
