We have had so far Coop Night, Arcade, Racing, Fighting, Music and next week will be Sports.
On rotation i was gonna keep all the above and split Arcade into: Arcade Shooters and Party.
SO it would be:
Sport
Arcade Shooter
Coop
Music
Party
Fighting
Racing
Ideas? Shall i cull any like Party, Sport(see how it goes), coop(usually L4D).... or better add some
I think sport will fall on its arse but we will see.
Keep arcade as one choice, then i have one week less to wait for music night ;D
I love the rotation idea and we should definitely give sport night a shot i would love to play fifa with everyone. Markav is right though, although i do like the idea of arcade shooter and arcade party night, i think music night should get at least two spots. That's a testament to how much fun me and fizz had last night! Plus fizz will only be able to join in on left 4 dead 2, gears 2, or rock band 2 as i think they are the only games we have that we can play online together while on the same xbox. At least until fizz has her own. Fighting night was awesome too as was racing but i think i am gonna need some more of those games as i only have MvC2, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and street fighter 2 turbo arcade (not the hd remix) and Forza 3, PGR 4.
It may be a good idea to drop the "Arcade" theme, and simply incorporate XBLA games into whatever proper genre they belong to. Like we did with Fight Night (SF2 and SF4 were both options).
Just an idea, though. There's always the possibility that XBLA games will never win votes if they're competing against retail games.

get rid of sports and racing i dont have any ;D
well thats a hard one to figure out maybe try that idea mixing xbla and retail see how that works for a week if it dosent work go back to the list you have listed im content either way javascript:void(0);
How about the last Wednesday of every month is Music Night. A lot of people turned up to play B1943 when it was Arcade night though, so i think we should give Arcade Shooters a chance and alteast Sports night a couple of goes, once next week and once the week after FIFA 11 is released.

Awesome idea :) Music games are way more fun online with friends. Also definitely keep arcade shooters and sports night for at least a couple of go's, see what the turnout is like.

In Failed we trust. You can do no wrong as far I'm on concerned. :-*
Mix it up however you think best. Whatever nights have too low of turnout can be re-evaluated next month.

I will always be there for race night, if i have the game that is. On that note i just received split second on a rental from lovefilm, might give it a go this weekend (if i can stay of rock band for long enough) :)
i enjoyed Split/Second it was great, not as good as BLUR though.

Still won't matter :)
well i am getting fifa 11.
we will do a FIFA 11 night after it is released, but other than that, no more Sports Night.... and the crowd goes wild!
This is how Theme Night will rotate for now:
Coop
Arcade
Racing
Fighting
and every last Wednesday of the month is Music Night. There will also be special nights involving the latest and greatest games, so far i'm thinking Halo: Reach, FIFA 11, CoD 7 all to get their own Introductory night.
If you would like to suggest a theme or a game that deserves it's own Introductory Night, spam here!!

depends on how many people are getting it, if it's 5 or 6ish then yeh, sounds good. Except the 15th isn't a Wednesday ;)
ok then, the 20th?
I'll pencil it in for the 20th, aslong as other people get it, which im sure they will.
Sounds great to me, an excellent schedule! And all those lovely music nights too, can't wait!

Does anyone think the 'Introducing ..... Night' should have it's own day? Perhaps the Monday after release?
thoughts?
permitting that everyone has the game, but the monday after the game's release seems a bit soon make it atleast 2 weeks after the game comes out.. Other than that it seems pretty cool.

I love the schedule. Since I usually buy AAA titles on day one, I'm ready whenever.
Since not everyone buys a game on day one, the Wednesday of the week after release is probably a good idea. That allows time for mail orders to arrive and whatever other delays people may experience.
Personally, I'm not a fan of gaming on Monday night. But if there's a turnout for it, don't let me stop you. ;)
hey guys its only 24 days till i get my xbox, but am still not sure what games to buy/download as its going to take bit to sort everything out,so any help on what to get will be very much appreciated, also does anyone know how to safely transfer my pfofile to my shiny new elite x
