Have a lot of you 360 owners gotten this yet? I know a few of you from my friends list have tried it. What are you thoughts on it so far? Its still new and there are bugs in it. Between not being able to load, buy games and the game server not quite on its feet yet, but how do you guys like it?

I like it. Being able to see all those cabinets standing in the arcade, seeing the 80s motifs on the walls, its about the next best thing to going back in time 20 years and walking thru my old favorite arcades.

It's pretty good, I've bought to cabinets so far. I find I can sit for hours on one “machine” and enjoy myself…which is the whole point of games. I know I've visited your arcade, played your Lunar Lander for a game (just for the cheevo really). I can see it being something that i'll keep building up.

I just download it last week… but haven´t bought games yet… so sad that the games you already bought aren´t compatible with the game room.

It certainly is shaping up to be an awesome application for 80s nostaliga of arcades. I can just leave the unit turned on for a while, not even playing, just letting the game sound effects take me back to the awesome local arcade we had.

one of the guys on my friends list, Shwank8, said there were supposed to be releasing 7 games every week. However the last news I heard was that new games won't be released until sometime after April 15th. Im guessing just to give them time to fix the bugs so far.

There were about 4 or 5 games I was really tempted to buy already but I know i have to save my money until those new games are announced or released. I was really tempted to get Centipede, Red Baron, Shao-lin Road, Tempest or maybe Adventure.


Just a quick warning though to anybody thinking of buying either Combat or Outlaw or Football. Those games aer 2 player only and the only way to play 2 player is a local game. Meaning two guys on 1 tv, not the standard game with 2 guys over XBL.


Anybody got any favorites they want to see added to the library for Game Room? Or a favorite game that you already have put in your arcade? Cmon, I know we have more Xbox 360 gamers who are of age who would really appreciate this.
