Told you so #5 - NOTHING this week!


Although Microsoft have the right to say what gets released on the XBLA, developers have the right to say when (well... mostly) and I don't think ANYBODY would want to be released this week - being the release of Grand Theft Auto IV. You can bet your dashboard will be filled with GTAIV advertisements (in another case of advertising for a game that doesn't need it)

Still need your XBLA fix? Go back and buy Switchball or Gripshift, because I know damn well you didn't buy either of them damn it! Do it!

Switchball gets update, fixes many problems


To my knowledge this was unannounced, but I went back to the game today to try and finish it and lo and behold - an update appeared!

The update seems to have done two things - It's fixed all the Leaderboards now - which were pretty much unviewable and would usually hang - and it seems to have fixed a lot - if not all - of the bugs related to screen tearing! Awesome!

If you never got around to buying the game - which you SHOULD because it's one of the best games on XBLA - or were put off by the screen tearing - definitely go have a look back at it. It's the best looking game on the service.

The Switchball website doesn't mention any update - and currently the Atomic Elbow website seems to be down, but it's there. Check it out now!

PS. Holy hell the final level of Switchball is so god damn hard. I spent 30 minutes on the final part of the level and just gave up. Will try again tomorrow.
