LUMINES LIVE – NEW DOWNLOADS MAKE IT EVEN BETTER
Here’s a rubbish update about something being good:
Next Wednesday’s Xbox Live Arcade download is something good for a change – new skins and modes for Lumines Live. They look pretty. Look. We’ve done something about them they’re so pretty:
We nearly did something about Lumines Live when it came out – but sensationally didn’t.
We should’ve, as it’s a very, very good game, just like Lumines. It’s ruined by the Xbox 360’s rubbish d-pad quite a bit and is all jerky online, but is still very good if you play it obsessively to score a high score and don’t mind that it resets the scoreboards every week.
And we played it for 50 hours more than we played Gears of War, so all the cocks who moaned about it being too expensive are incredibly wrong. In total, Lumines Live costs less than half the price of a ‘normal’ game. Yet it is better. That’s not a rip-off in the slightest, it was just badly organised.
Now there are more bits to download, some of which are free, some of which are only 100 points for the time being which is practically free. So there. This sounds like a press release, but we felt an urge to redress the balance and ‘do something’ about Lumines Live, seeing as it’s great.

At first I used the analogue stick but realised that was wank and moved to the D-pad which actually improved my scores alot. Still, it’s not the best!
Lumines is awesome and not at all a rip off and people that say that it is are the probably the same retards that don’t watch Battlestar Galactica!
