XBLA Is Going to Eat my Money
The Xbox Live Arcade, quite possibly one of the best things to ever come out of Microsoft, is going to slowly bleed money out of me over the next four years. At 10 bucks a shot for mini games that are just sweet and arcade like, this can only lead me down a terrible path. Last night, I bought Cloning Clyde:
The video doesn’t do it justice, but it’s sweet. I’m looking forward to getting back and playing a little of this. So how much was gone? 10 bucks. Well spent.
So what else, well, I’ve been hearing a lot about this game, Small Arms:
And clearly, I’m going to need this, Especially since they’ve been asking for help testing it at MS and keep asking for people with Smash Brothers experience. So once again, I’m out anothe 10 bucks.
Then I saw this:
I have to have this. Nuff said. I’m now out…another 10 bucks. So far, that’s 30 bucks. Then there’s Street Fighter 2, Sonic the Hedgehog and this funky car game. Another 30 bucks. So 60 bucks, in 10 dollar micro-payments, all back to my employer. Well, at least the games are good.
