XBOX LIVE for Vista details with images!

Lately some people has taken notice to certain individuals on their friends list playing a game called "Bug Bash" but no one knows what that game is.  Well today, an Xboxic reader by the name of David sent Xboxic images and all the detail's about the game "Bug Bash".  It turns out that people playing this game are actually Beta testing the XBOX LIVE for Vista and the game is just a very generic button mashing game so people can test the service. 

Below, David explains the beta test and the features he got to play with in the XBOX LIVE for Vista:

Bug Bash is basically a PC version of the old video arcade games that had an alligator or a mole pop out and you whack it. That’s essentially all that’s going on. The bug pops out of the hole, and then you have to whack it. You can use your Xbox 360 Controller for this or you can use the letters on your keyboard.

Here, David has nothing but good things to say about the features in LIVE for Vista: 

The Live Service on PC is incredible. Pretty much every function that you can do on Xbox Live, you can do through the Live Service. This includes voice chat, listening to voice messages sent from 360 or a PC using the Live Service, recording & sending voice messages from your PC to other PC & Xbox 360 users, and even sending game invites to a PC user or a Xbox 360 user. The only thing I noticed that you cannot do, at least as of yet, is any kind of video chat or sending pictures. This service is showing a lot of promise and while the game Bug Bash didn’t get my rocks off, the Live service & the promise it shows do. The only other complaint about the service is the fact that the Live Service isn’t built into your computer. It’s not a separate program on your computer, it’s actually running through the game itself, possibly to make sure that you don’t play more than one game at a time.
