Scramble stumbles

By Tim Surette, GameSpotPosted Sep 5, 2006 5:55 pm PT

Xbox Live Arcade game pushed back to next Wednesday to correct "minor issues"; PGR3-themed Uno will be released instead.

Microsoft has designated the middle of the week as Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays, a regular schedule for the company to release new games for its online gaming service. However, this Wednesday has apparently hit a bump in the road.

Scramble, the arcade shooter from Konami, was scheduled to be released tomorrow morning at 1 a.m. but will now be released at the same time next week.

Microsoft offered the following explanation: "During the final testing and certification of [Scramble], we discovered some minor issues that should be addressed. Therefore, we are going to take an extra week and fix these items to ensure a high quality game experience for all when the title does launch on its new date of Wednesday, September 13."

However, Xbox Live fans won't be left completely empty-handed. Microsoft will release a Project Gotham Racing 3-themed Uno deck for 100 Marketplace points ($1.25). Details on the new deck were not disclosed.

    Better to wait then release a rushed game that needs patches (ie-Saints Row)......

    I agree with SithLord...."micro"transactions are only a good idea for micro$oft and other publishers......just wait until they start charging us for patches to fix their games......

    ...and what the heck is Scramble?? I've been gaming longer than most people here, but if Konami's going to bring something to XBL it should be the games that were released for the first Nintendo system....although that might be coming to the Wii, which I wouldn't mind either...

    You think they would have tested it earlier than they did to insure quality.

    "Hey, why don't we think of ideas of killer new Microsoft-themed cards that sponsor games like Halo or Gears of War? I'm serious! Something cool, like a plasma grenade cards that reshuffles the entire deck and redeals your cards to the same amount that you had, but not the same cards."

    Dude. Seriously. Go get some sleep.

    Glad to see that bugs are being fixed prior to release......instead of releasing with a patch.
