Just more catching up with the 360 today, mainly with all the Marketplace stuff I missed. Saw a few trailers, but nothing particularly memorable.

There are a bunch of XBLA games of which I have yet to try the trial versions, but I only got around to two tonight. Super Puzzle Fighter was a bit of a twist on the block-dropping formula, but not really enough to grab my attention. People seem to love it, though. Space Giraffe was more interesting; it’s gotten a lot of criticism for its trippy graphics and difficulty to learn, but I thought it was a bit fun. The main problem with it is that it’s probably more ‘hardcore’ than my skills can handle, and is one of those that would take a ton of practice to master, and I don’t really have time for that. With a huge backlog of games to go, I’m trying to focus more on games that can actually be finished.

And I knocked off a few more Eets levels. It’s getting to the point now where enough new elements have been introduced and you’re given a big enough quantity of placeable items that the solution is rarely straightforward, and you really have to start thinking about it. I’ve at least managed to hit all of the par times and scores so far, at least.
