I can't shut up about it!

So I went onto Xbox 360 Live Arcade to see about downloading Tetris. I kick ass at Tetris and thought it would be a good way to up my gamer score. They only had something called Tetris Splash, which seems to involve underwater Tetris or something. Anyway, since I didn't really want to play $10 in microsoft points for it, I just got the free demo which lets you play for 5 minutes at a time. Lame, right?

And then...

It gave me, for free, a game called Hexic.
Apparently, it is by the same people who made Tetris. It's kind of a cross between Teris and Bust a Move, which I also loved.

Anyway, Hexic is awesome!!!

I can totally see myself getting addicted to it. It's turny and puzzley and delightful. And I can't beleive it was FREE!

BTW, anybody know why it was FREE?

Indeed, it is a riot. Ryan and Katie came over last night and we played Scene It! It was pretty close, but I beat them!!

I found that one and Geometry Wars Evolved as a freebie, but I didn't like Geometry Wars as well.

Hey, David told me that you're new to the world of Xbox, too. I just discovered GamerchiX today. It looks like you're ready for January 14th's event!

Nice. I don't know if I'm accomplished enough to join others online, but I could give it a whirl.

I'll have to give Geometry Wars a lookin' at.

Oh, I don't feel accomplished enough yet, either, but maybe it's something to work toward.

Geometry Wars reminded me quite a bit of an 80's arcade game. I think it might have been, but I don't remember it from back in the day.

Hexic is the one thing I miss about my ex's/former roommates' xBoxes. I <3 Hexic.

What a great sentence.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexic

Hexic was originally released on the MSN Games online service in July 2003. Hexic HD was later developed by Microsoft Game Studios and Carbonated Games for the Xbox 360, and comes preinstalled on all Xbox 360 hard drives as part of the Xbox Live Arcade service. This version features online leaderboards and support for high-definition.

Like Dorothy and her route back to Kansas, you were carrying Hexic with you the whole time!
