Yeah what the hell. 10,000 people? That seems excessive, considering that I thought less than 5000 even had game-room installed any more, or at the very least checked it even semi-regularly. 
 
Oh, so 3000 bought it? Alrighty then.

SNAFU looked pretty bomb, and Seaquest didn't look half bad either. That said, Game Room needs some real arcade games right quick.

Snafu looked pretty fun, but i maintain my opinion that the best version of snakes is the bonus game in time splitters 2.

They need to find a way to create ranked modes for games that don't have an obvious score to tally.  For example, in Tower of Doom (an Intellivision dungeon-crawler), there are maybe ten different areas you can explore and just as many classes to play as.  However, in ranked mode everyone plays the same mode with the same class.
 
So in a game like Freeway, for ranked mode, lock it to one player and create an outside time limit of, say, five minutes, and tally the score.  Granted, as has been pointed out the problem you encounter is when a game's leaderboard has twenty people who all have the same high score, because there is a theoretical perfect score.

Oh god it just keeps getting worse. Those two broken avatars symbolize the low life scum that hang out in empty arcades full of decaying crappy games; creepy uncomfortable places...

I currently own every release for Game Room.  Thinking about stopping. 
 
Update:  Just checked the release list for next week's Game Room releases.  Only 4 next week.  Checkers, City Bomber (Arcade), pinball, tennis.  Is the end of Game Room fast approaching?

I have no idea what's up with your GameRoom because I see different videos every time i load rather than the demo video that you see every time, and I have never had ANY broken avatars.  Very strange.

We're headed down the Virtual Console path of 3 games a week, then 2, then 1.
 
Considering Microsoft Game Studios promised something like 1000 titles at some point, and they've just recently passed 300, are they having trouble getting content deals?  They need new publishers or platforms if this service is to continue, and its surprising nothing new has come since the service's original launch.

Hehey, I had Freeway for the 2600. Sounds of that game brings me back. If they release Commando for the 2600 I'll buy it.

I'm disappointed there were no Yellow Submarine jokes from Ryan while playing Seaquest.

Also, having never actually owned an Atari 2600, Maze Craze looks like it has a crazy amount of difficulty modes. Is that normal for 2600 games?
