Anything out their tickle your ivories? I can't wait to play Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia, so that demo's a definite download for me. Plus I'm still waiting on the 4/10 promised MUA Heroes and Villains packs. And if you haven't played Boom Boom Rocket yet, you don't know what you're missing. There's a feature in the full version that renders the Jeff Minter-helmed visualizer that ships with your console useless -- it's a fireworks display that goes in time with your streamed music! If you ask me, that's worth the 800 points alone.
