All Signs Point to Mad Tracks Next Week

The folks over at GamingTalkHQ have added more fuel to the rumor that Mad Tracks will arrive next week. Thanks to their diligent stalking coverage of the original story broken by Xboxic, we now have the following clue:

Denis Bourdain's (of Load Inc) most recent IM away message reads "Save Your MS points for next week."

Another "rumor" coming true? Who woulda thunk it? Now that all signs point to its release next week, are the signs also pointing to "buy"?

You know it.
Even though I buy all arcade games (Given that I will also be buying this) - It looks really incredible. Looking forward to it.
Why do you buy all arcade
Why do you buy all arcade games? Some are rubbish, while others are ok, but not worth 800 or even 400 points?
Many reasons.
I only find a couple of the 60+ arcade games below average... but other than that, I enjoy each and everyone. I collect, and like to show my support for the XBLA as well.

Plus, I have the bread to spend. :-)
This game is definately

This game is definately worth it, I've been excited since the PC demo I played, but wanted to wait for the XBLA title. This is finally it!

Wow, Klutch, every single

Wow, Klutch, every single one? I'm quite certain that nobody in the world, outside of MS employees, has more Xbox live points than me.

Even so, I don't see the point of rewarding the companies that make games I don't like or won't play.

I'm trying to vote with my wallet to, in a tiny way, help evolve the XBLA in my preferred direction.

As for mad tracks? 8-way multiplayer on XBLA? has that even been done before? I'm all over it.

8-way multiplayer

"8-way multiplayer on XBLA? has that even been done before?"

Novadrome! Also, Marble Blast Ultra.

who cares
who cares how many XBLA games Klutch86 has. If he enjoys each and every one of them why the heck do you care. I make good bucks and also have most of them. If you think you are making some sort of statement or are manipulating how MS conducts business on XBLA by not buying a game you dont like, your in a world of your own.
No, i'm simply voting with

No, i'm simply voting with my wallet. I don't feel i'm manipulating the system any more than when I vote for president.

I'm just saying, a better strategy than buying every game is to avoid buying the games of the kind that you don't want to see on XBLA. This will make it less likely that that kind of game will keep being made.

Actually...
I do not own Soltrio Solitaire. I forgot.
I have also gotten quite a few free points as well - But nevertheless, I believe money well spent. Oh, and trust me, there are plenty of people that have 60+ Arcade games outside of Microsoft. I can name off a few just from my friend's list... if you'd like?
Oh, and once again, I collect. I am a somewhat of a completist.

But once again, Mad Tracks looks awesome. :-)
Yeah, I've thought about

Yeah, I've thought about going the completionist route, but just can't get myself to feel good about paying for games I'm not going to play anyway.

I never said I don't know people who own all 60 games... and I beleive the admins at this blog have a duty to own them all, or at least hire someone who does that can give good reviews...

But as a buying strategy, even though I have virtually unlimited points for the next several years, i don't see why any crap posted to the XBLA should be rewarded just because it's there.

Well go and buy Soltrio
Well go and buy Soltrio Solitare to keep upto then! it's pretty good imo anyway...i just cant afford 800 points at the min, plus i'm a little pissed as in microsoft are giving away 1500 points for free if you buy 12 months live, pity i got it 4 days to early...sods luck!

You tell me, Denis. (^_^)

Well, I'd love to do an extensive preview/review or whatever. But since I haven't seen the game yet (too bad I don't live in your neck of the woods) I must wait to play it like the rest. Maybe we'll do something post-release?

LunarDuality -- "Indie is where it's at!"

We really should start...

... doing previews, and definitely reviews.
