Xevious (link!)

OK that may not be such a big deal but it's always nice to see another shmup come on the 360, espeicaly for 400 M$ points. Anyway I just thought I let you guys know but for more info check the link given at the top of the post.

I love Xevious, but without tate... Instead get Xevious 3D/G for the PS1. Hard to find, but not expensive and worth every cent.

All of the Xevious games in Xevious 3D/G also work great on PS2, unlike the port of Xevious in Namco Museum 2.

I tried it out tonight and I just thought I'd let folks know that if you have a hi-def set, it looks pretty good despite the lack of tate. The increased resolution kills any sign of scaling artifacts, as far as I can tell from my couch. You can also adjust screen size, to some extent.

It's better than most, worth trying the demo at least.

I agree.
It's definitely playable, though I don't know how good of an experience it will be for owners of small standard def TVs

I think I'm ranked like 300th on the leaderboards at the moment.

Ah whatdoya people want? This is a casual gaming service and to be honest for £3 or whatever 400 XBL points translates to, it's not a bad deal even with a standard TV. I've been playing it a little and I am enjoying it a lot. I also picked up Gryus as well, should be a good weekend!
