Ilomilo doesn’t officially release until January 4, 2011, but someone figured out that if you download a trial code from this site, it’s possible to then unlock the full game for 800 Microsoft points. It’s tough to say whether this is simply a mistake or a sneak preview for attentive gamers, but either way, the leaderboards are already rustling and Microsoft doesn’t seem to have a problem with that. I have yet to explore all of Ilomilo’s features (or, for that matter, complete its story mode), but whether you want the game immediately or are holding off until its official launch, I have no trouble giving it my highest recommendation. Plenty of full-priced games could drop to ten bucks and still not be as worthy of the entrance fee as Ilomilo is.

Carlos writes - "Whether the idea of dusting off that library of Xbox 360 games for a spin once more is for you or not, the fact that there are now almost 400 titles available to play through backwards compatibility is certainly impressive. Nevertheless, for many gamers, more is better and now we see five new titles made playable on Xbox One.
But are they worth heading back to once more, or should we stick with the abundance of new titles gracing the Xbox Store in recent weeks."
So extremely happy about ilomilo finally being backward compatible. Absolutely LOVE that game.

A look at the gaming friendships which go beyond mere chumminess and stray into altogether more emotional territories.

Windows Mobile is often overlooked as a gaming platform in the favour of Android and iOS, but that is only a misconception, as the platform has some good offerings. iLLGaming digs deeper to see whats good on Windows Phone. Last week, we published Part 2 of the series, this week, we have Part 3. More on the way.
