Game Diary, Monday's game play

Back again with the game diary. Tuesday was an exciting day in the world of Xbox360. With E3 kicking off, there was a ton of big reveals at the Microsoft conference. One of them was the new Beta testing happening tonight of a new XBLA game called 1 vs. 100.
I had to rush home and set a reminder? for the game. I got in some Guitar Hero : Aerosmith and Fallout3 before the Beta kicked off. It was kind of neat. A group of 4 of us were private chatting and just kind of hanging in the dashboard, when 1 by 1 we all got an invite to play. The first game kept our party together, but we got separated for the remainder of the night. Not sure if that was on purpose or a technical glitch. Either way the game was a ton of fun. The "live" host did an adequate job. No complaints. Super simple controls and pretty detailed stat tracking will keep players coming back. Another beta test this Saturday. Then we sit and wait for go live. Should be soon as the game appeared polished. Pretty slick how they force fed us commercials during "break" time.
I will definitely play again once they actually start handing out prizes or G's at least. Short one today....it's late!!!

Stay tuned for details on E3, especially news of L4D2 due out in November.
Thanks for reading.
