07/21/07: And
some car cables for dessert
M:
Sorry about the delay. It took me roughly two hours to change the first
screen shot, so that it wouldn't contain any actual information. Of course,
none
of it is readable in web resolution, anyway. The next day, we had some
company binge that rendered me completely incapable of doing anything
the
next morning. Hence the update on a week-end. Oh well. Better late than
never.
On
a completely unrelated note: I played a few rounds of the full version
of Carcassonne on Xbox Live Arcade, and I'm not too impressed. Sure, it's
got
all
the bells and whistles you'd expect, with a nice animation for built cities
and everything. But apart from that, our 2002 PC conversion and especially
the
Collector's Edition with all expansion sets totally blows it out of the
water. AI was considerably better back then, the isometric view had the
original
tilesets
and didn't obstruct the view of the playfield, mouse controls were wayyy
superior, there were score predictions, you could show blocked fields
as
well as remaining tiles and save replays of your games... oh, and did I
mention that you could freely combine all expansions, making for huge
games?
So, yeah, I'm glad everyone's enjoying this, and I still think it's a better
game than Catan, but next to Worms, this is my second big
disappointment
on XBLA. They better not mess Sensible World of Soccer up, too. |
