Reminder: Flock! and Puzzle Quest: Galactrix on XBLA

The Steam version of Flock (and probably all PC versions) have SecuROM with a 5 machine activation limit.

Just a warning, I'm not buying it cause of that.

I liked Flock better when it was called Sheep.

I didn't really like the PC demo for Flock. It was pretty dull and I didn't like the controls. $15? Eh, no.

This new trend of $15 and $20 as an average price for Live Arcade is ridiculous, what happened to the $5 or $10 games that were dropping at first and now it's the average, reasonable entry level fee to dish out $20 for a game that usually is only played for an hour at most and then rots on the hard drive and marketplace servers. Granted, this week does look different with Flock and Galactrix looking to be solid releases with very large replayability factors, especially for the multiple galaxy-spanning Galactrix, which I'm assuming like its PC forebear is addictive as all hell.

Okay, I guess I picked the wrong week the bitch about Arcade prices but any other week this argument would be valid because half the games getting released suck.

Although,I WAS excited to see Hasbro Family Game Night free! With 1600 gamerpoints to achieve no less? Then it was all a sham upon entering the fancy interface with each half a century or more old game being priced at $10 or more a pop? WTF?! So much for that... Release it for $10 (800ms points) for all of them and I'll definitely get it.
