(I've played a few games with strangers, and the connectivity works just fine, but I've gotten schooled). Which makes me realize I just don't understand how Xbox Live development works. I always just assumed that MS provided an entire library of networking code, and you just drop in your message format.

For eight bucks, it was a definite must-buy. But 10 bucks? That's outrageous! Ah, well that changes everything. For eight bucks, it was a definite must-buy. But 10 bucks? That’s outrageous!

But you do play as somebody in your mid-to-late 30s who's given up on the idea of finding a perfect soulmate, and your objective is to find somebody who's boring but dependable. Actually, it's one of those German-originated only-available-in-game-stores games, but it's accessible enough to be up at the front with the family games, instead of in the dark corner at the back of the store near the D&D manuals and the lead figurines and so-pale-they're-translucent guys sitting around sorting their Magic decks. Word on the street is that they had to take down the free trial version temporarily, but it'll be available again soon if you don't like spending 8 bucks on it. Don’t let the title throw you off.

Is this one of those games you get at those creepy game shops that noone ever goes in? Ps. My Pokemans......let me show you them.
