For the record, my impression of Game Room is "hey I'm Game Room der der.."

There hasn't been anything on it yet that makes me want to even download the Game Room thingy.

I downloaded it a couple days ago, being so late to it, there were quite a few updates to download. Seeing that I had to keep game room on to download and couldn't turn off my xbox, I said I'd do it later. Still haven't done it.

Sounded awesome when they were talking about "an everything emulator". Too bad it's just 2600 and intellivision, and some Atari-like arcade games. Has been a complete disappointment.

It will be abandoned by the end of the year and left to die.

Not tried it and Im not planning to.

All I want is Marble Madness... that's all I ask for.

Could of worked if MS had fixed the issues before release. And gotten more games out. And allowed more then like three Groups in the game room. 

Iunno. Makes for fun quicklooks.

even the best games on game room can only be played for a few minutes if you don't want to lose your mind.

It does not appeal to me personally. If it had some more worthy titles i would purchase them.

I've forgotten about it, so I guess that's my impression.

GameRoom 2011: Got Nexts

if it only could get some games from the 90's i might buy some of them, my gameroom is so cold and lonely.

Most games are too old to be interesting.

Lol 0% have voted " It has exceeded my expectations." ^^

I have spent maybe 5 minutes in there in total. For what it is, the games cost far too much. They cannot possible hold my attention for more than 10 minutes at a time without resulting in me going mad. Hell, I wouldn't even play them at all after those 10 minutes. Sorry, MS, but you should've spent your money on another season of 1 vs. 100

I'll admit that I dabbled with MAME and other arcade emulators for CPS-1, 2 and 3. Those were also the games I encountered at arcades for the most part.
 
And honestly, a lot of the stuff on Game Room so far has been stuff I wouldn't even bother to look.
 
Hell, I buy games that I played on emulators just because of that fact I can play them on a proper console. I buy DS ports of SNES games. So the issue isn't because I need to pay money. 
 
I don't care for Game Room because, A. Some look fun but most look basic or down right terrible. B. That's not my arcade scene, I went to the arcades throughout the late 80s and most of the 90s, current GR games would usually be in a small dinky corner at best. C. Four Companies with only a few hardware, and one of em is the Intellivision, who cares about that sucker.

It's overpriced. And how the fuck do they expect people to know about Game Room!? That thing is AWOL on the dashboard.

I personally enjoy the weekly videos documenting Jeff's slow, tortured descent into an abysmal 8-bit Hell. 
 
Also, every time I go to an arcade, I walk to the middle of all the machines and stand stone-faced with arms outstretched. 
 
There has been much gained.

I bought quite a few games over the first few gamepacks. However my interest has torpedoed lately. They HAVE to get back to releasing arcade games, not obscure Atari 2600 games. If they would just focus on arcade games from the mid to late 80s Game Room would be great. 

I only downloaded it for a few quick achievements. The games on there are too retro for me. I got into video games with the Sega Master System and Genesis, not Atari and Intellivision stuff. 

Game Room never seemed sustainable to me at all. Sure there are a few old arcade games that would want to be able to own again, but after those games were released it always seemed, to me, that it would fade to obscurity.

I have no idea why they keep porting 2600 and Intellivision stuff.  Most of that looks like garbage (based on what I've seen in the Quick Looks) and plays lousy too.  Are they actually considered "classics"?

Where the EFF is Marble Madness?  I thought I heard that would be out sometime...  sheesh.

HI IM GAMEROOM I COMPLETELY IGNORE THE 90S ARCADE SCENE EVEN THOUGH THATS KIND OF WHAT PEOPLE WANT 
 
Im still working on the impression.

Where the hell is Marble Madness?!
