great job, for some reason I thought you had already done weapon of choice but I guess I am wrong. Keep'em comin

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks for watching anyway, I guess I can't just start publishing re-runs can I? You guys are too quick, lol.

Man blazing birds is awesome, i played the demo when it first came out, little hard to find a mode i could actually play but when i did.. it was FUCKIN HARD! XNA made games seem to have the nack for being extremely hard, which is great cause you have to actually learn how to play the game. Its a shame blazing birds is 800 points and gives carpel tunnel like no other game can

[nicktheduderino]

I'm thinking it might be because a lot of the guys who write xna games are uber hardcore gamers themselves, maybe?

[CGMossa]

As usual, top notch quality YT. Love it, digg it, rated it 10^6 stars, yet YT only allow 5.

Just wondering, will you review the games which is sponsering you?

WE WANT MORE XNA ROUND UP!!!

Weapon of Choice boss at 2:47 is pretty amazing...

[slucchi723]

I have bought Blow and Carneyvale showtime and are fuckin awesome.

Artoon is awesome too.

[codeMonkey546]

Blazing Birds looks kinda cool.

[TledgEs]

O wow, price decrease? Because i couldve sworn on my life it was 800 points in yet i am staring at it right now at 400 points Either its changed, or I am just stupid I am probaly just stupid, sorry bout that Its even more of a shame its not doing better Its a great game and quite cheap at 400 points, dunno why its not on the most popular list, probaly cause its not getting the same spotlight any other games are getting

[DavidFlook]

Blazing Birds is only 400 points.

[TledgEs]

Yes I assume that, its also that they develop for people like themselves rather than companies that set out with the intentions of pleasing the market. I went back to the blazing birds demo quite a bit more and it is fantastic fun, Even though i find myself yelling at the screen constantly, its a good "You bastard cheating son of a b*tch" you know the good kind where you feel like your playing against a friend on your couch. The AI has crossed that artificial barrier.

[matthewdoucette]

it is??? i didn't think it was, but who knows....
