    There's apparently one game left in pack 12 that has yet to be released.  Sunset Riders.  But considering that they skipped its release in favor of pack 13 and still have yet to release it, I think it's safe to say that Game Room is done and Sunset Riders will probably get a $10 XBLA release.

    I haven't really been paying attention to Game Room. Is it finished because there's no more games to be released? Or is it finished because not many people care?

    You're probably right about it being an XBLA release, that game's probably gonna sell well and they might as well get 10 bucks a pop instead of 3. It coulda been the only good game room release, but no...

    I would murder the makers of game room slowly with a pair of pruning shears, but they're having hard times as it is. I'll let it go. The failure of Blade Kitten was punishment enough. 
     
    I agree with the speculation on a 10$ XBLA sunset riders release. X-men and the TMNT 1989 arcade game were both great candidates for game room, which of course means they can't be released there. Jeff was saying in one of the QL's that dreamcast games were going to be released in Game Room as well, and we all saw how that turned out too. 
     
    Its a shame. Game Room might be dead, but the idea of Game Room was a brilliant, poorly supported light. 
     
    EDIT: If they mess with Sunset Riders or alter the audio for Boss Greedwell's  "bury me in my moneyyy!" I will call blasphemy.
