Maybe you could make it so only members can post comments to these thing?
I wonder if I can get same, jonny, kitten and jaffa to buy my ipod game. By clicking certain buttons and moving the wheel you can create the music from your favorite artists. Just upload your favorite songs and for $40 I’ll send you a text file that tells you how to play them! LOL

Is this really a game?
Or just a bunch of text files neatly organized in different folders?

Same IP?
Heh.
All posted within a few minutes of each other, too!
I was considering buying a game from XO Play, but this type of BS has changed my mind.
Same, jonny, kitten and jaffa ...You just lost a customer. Probablly MANY customers.

Totally been looking for something other than the included games to help pass time on my bus ride into work. But XO’s tactics seem O so Xtremely lame. Lost my trust. Peace

Progress != spamming your product as different users (same, jonny, kitten, jaffa)

This game rocks! It’s better than Halo! I’m a 18 year old girl, and when I’m not swimsuit modeling or giving massages, I love to play XO’s games on my iPod. Now if I could only find a boyfriend who loves this game as much as I do.
Hugs and Kisses,
Cheri in Cali

wow jk is not a member either! Who would have guessed?
Oh and since when is a choose you own adventure game progress? I have nothing for respect for the guys who discovered a way to add games to the iPod for the use of their brethren, and nothing but disdain for the guys who would try and prophet (lol profit is how I would spell it) from some one else’s hard work.

Cheap, very cheap trick. Forget it XO, that
“strategy” sucks.

You guys lay it off. Game looks interesting. I am also getting a little bored of brick. So this is a breath of fresh air. Also this should get Apple off their ###!

I owe a slight apology. None of the name highlited above will tell you if the person is a member or not. jk might be a member. If so I apologize for that part of my comment.

so, will ipodlounge stop posting the press releases for these losers? It almost gives credibility to a company that:
a-is trying to profit from someone else’s ideas
b-spamming fake praise about the product and company
