Jeff, I will top score battle Jungler with you. Crazy that XBLA is going so niche. I figure people into these games just have maim machines.

I'm a little surprised that Jeff doesn't play in Cabinet mode. I LOVE that they even include some screen glare!

While I haven't bought any of the games. It's kind of cool for it's novelty factor. 
 
And a reminder of just how far games have come since the 1980s.

I would probably be all over this if it was 200 points. 400 seems a bit much.

Are any of these games even worth getting? I'd rather save my points for when XBLA games go on sale for about the same price

Am i the only one who thinks that this is even worse than home? (Yes i do realize that game room basically has nothing in common with home except the fact that both are very boring).

Oh come on, Jeff. Astrosmash is a GREAT game. Games take too long to ramp up difficulty, maybe, but if you didn't find it any fun near 100,000 points, when the game gets both intense and freakin' insane, then I cannot stress how sorry I feel for you.
 
Yeah, I'm an obviously biased party, but geez. That's a heck of a slap in the face for Intellivision fans.

Game room would have been cooler if you can deck out your room with the XBLA games YOU previously bought.

On most games you can zoom in on the cabinet and watch the game through cabinet view. Hit start then change the graphical options from "Arcade" to "Cabinet" and it makes some games like Red Baron significantly better.
 
Filters cant be messed with as much though.

I played a bit of the PC version of Game Room; seemed alright, if only a way to squeeze money out of people by buying each game individually. Plus, at the moment, none of the games on offer for purchase are particularly great, even if they are "classic". I played a tiny bit of Adventure for the 2600 and was instantly lost and eaten by something.

Shaolin's Road and Finalizer are both excellent old school games, infact most of the Konami stuff is worth getting.

The way you make this work is by making all the games free and putting advertisements around the room and next to the games themselves. I'm not paying 90 bucks for games that are 2 decades old.  it's not like you can't emulate these games on even the most basic of hardware.  
 
This is a clear case of NosCon

@99X:  The era of banner ads being effective advertising is pretty much over. On the internet people either block them, resent them or ignore them.  On the 360 people would probably ignore them and they couldnt click through like on the internet.  Basically, everyone says they want things like this to be free with ad support because we like free things. But companies like microsoft are wise to this.  They know we have no intention of buying the things they advertise, so i dont think you are going to see pure ad support much anymore. And that is the right thing to do. They cant make enough money just doing ad support.

Those games are a bit too old school for me. I hope they eventually get to some 90's stuff like Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA.
