However you can only play each game once before you have to buy it. You can either use your game tokens (20 are awarded when you launch the game for the first time), or you can buy the game, which also allows you to place it in your arcade. Your arcade has three levels and you can change the theme of each room as well as decorate it, which also awards achievement points. In total Game Room has 1000 achievement points and you can get 80 for just a couple minutes play. The rest however, will require you to purchase items with Microsoft points.
Because it has been launched today, there are a few things which still need working out and tweaking. Currently the server is unavailable to connect to but, Microsoft are aware of these issues and are in the process of fixing them.
