the olympic arcade of cowboys

jizzlobber · Post by **jizzlobber** » 09 Jun 2007 06:46 pm

I have all these XBLA games I don't really play that much, so I had a bit of a think and...

I think we should have a big XBLA tourney, I ask for participants, everyone provides a list of the games they own, we put our heads together and come up with a bunch of 'events'.

the winner will be crowned '#1 Cowboy of Arcadia'.

good idea or not?

A good idea in principle. Depends on what games are more common, and you could still do challenges based on trials too (eg highest score in timed demo).

I thought this was going to be about the upcoming release of Track & Field on XBLA.

Tomby wins contest over. Unless it is Geometry wars then Gamma wins.

Make Catan one of the games.

jizzlobber · Post by **jizzlobber** » 14 Jun 2007 03:37 pm

it depends on what the most common games are so everyone can carticipate.

i'll get to work on this soon btw

GreyWizzard · Post by **GreyWizzard** » 14 Jun 2007 03:44 pm

carticipate?

jizzlobber · Post by **jizzlobber** » 14 Jun 2007 03:50 pm

woops, my finger must've slipped off the P and hit C

The leaderboards tell us how many tags are against each game. That can be a good starting point.

I'll look into it tonight.

GreyWizzard · Post by **GreyWizzard** » 14 Jun 2007 04:40 pm

I'm definately carticipating then! The greater the carticipation the greater the competition.

Come on everyone! Be a carticipant!

carticipate is the sweetest typo ever.

If Worms and/or Texas Hold 'em are on, then I am in!

Here goes. From the leaderboard. Note that this is the total people who have played, not necessarily owned. Stupid XBLA demos being shown on your profile.

I've included everything for interest, because some challenges could be score based, and because I can't be ratsed working out what's multiplayer.

And Catan is too low. Just stating a fact.

Funny... when I was making the list I thought 'who the hell has that'?

Turns out it was me. Also you, but that's it.

I am the lone Hardwood Spade.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 14 Jun 2007 09:23 pm
