Kind of off-topic . . . but since TRON.dll mentioned the Tron Xbox Live games, I thought I'd mention it.

Microsoft is planning to delist underperforming games from Live Arcade. Games have to score at least 65% on Metacritic, and have a conversion rate of 6% or greater. Conversion rate means how many people buy the game after trying the demo.

Considering how poorly the Tron games did on Metacritic, it looks like they're threatened with being delisted in the near future. LOL. You reap what you sow, BVG . . . er, DI. About time they faced a penalty for doing a lousy job with most of their games. :twisted:

Their latest big title, Turok, also received a pretty crappy score.

pardon my ignorance, but when you say delisted, is that tems to suspend multiplayer modes? or something else, like advertisement, ect. I planned on buying T2 Killer app, but I haven't bothered, since I don't know anyone who plays it. Tron.dll just told me he liked it, so I thought I'd buy it.

I was referring to the Live Arcade games you can download from Xbox Live on the 360. Microsoft is going to stop listing games that do poorly. Effectively killing sales and interest in the titles that get delisted. (They'll still be available, but without promotion they may as well be discontinued.)

Kiler App is for the original Xbox, and long out of print/discontinued. Finding a copy to buy is already difficult. It doesn't work on the 360, either. Multiplayer still works on Xbox Killer App, but as much of a ghost town as the PC version is: the Xbox version is even more dead.

The things I really liked about the XBOX version was the new weapons. Particularly the Rod Rifles. Awwwww yeah, I can hear the sound of me whippin those things out in my head right now. :-)

Ball Storm was pretty kewl, too. :)
