Oh well... XBLA Double MISS


It was bound to happen eventually.

I have to say Gyruss is pretty much everything that is wrong with the coin-op classic side of the XBLA. The horribly outdated control set up is likely perfectly accurate to thew classic, but sucks all the fun out of the game. Instead of letting you spin around the "tube", you get stopped on the sides and have to reverse your direction to use the top half of the screen. Also the game features the typical screen size issues. Basically this was a no buy instantly.
BTW checkout the artiest of that Gyruss picture here.

Minigolf was close, but I just didn't really get into it, and the problems with this developer were enough to make me save my points.

Meanwhile I spent all morning addicted to Boom Boom Rocket. I cannot believe how much I am playing this game.
