Weird Go Game

Post by hailthorn011 »

http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/609689-go


I was looking for Go games on the 360, and I came across what's in the link. I'm not entirely sure what it is, and I can't find any information on it. It probably doesn't help that I don't have a clue how to search for games like that.

My question is do any of y'all know anything about it?

I don't know much about that one other than it has a fairly decent user rating online. However, I did get the Path of Go game to try and teach my friends Go. It's a pretty good program although not particularly strong I guess (hard for me to tell since I'm not either :D). The main "campaign" does teach the game pretty well though and was fun, if cheesy. A thing to point out about that game though is no one plays on Xbox Live or at least not anytime I checked.

Path of Go is an English game and its looks like the game posted by the OP is as well. The screenshots on xboxlive.com all show English tutorials and games.

The one just called "Go" is one of the Indie games that is decently put together, but no one plays.
The Path of Go is a much better made game that no one plays. I've managed to play one successful game online and it was a lot of fun, but it's pretty dead.

Well, thanks for telling me all y'all knew. I guess I just wish I could find something like KGS on one of the consoles. It's a shame that they don't have a quality go game (with online play) out there. So far the only good Go video game I've personally discovered was Hikaru no Go for the GBA. Only problem there was that it was in Japanese, but I still played it anyway. ;)
