    [Xbox360] Hexic.

    This litle gem comes free on the hard drive if you have a Premium.

    Has anyone ever made a black pearl? I've made about 10 flowers, 5 of them in the same game, but a black pearl seems pretty much impossible. Getting a flower, at least with my basic understanding of the tactics of the game, is still 80% luck - 20% skill.

    Anyone got any tips? You need 3 black pearls to win the game, and I've got no chance of making 1!

    Oh - if anyone is ignoring this game in favour of more flashy Live games, play it. You'll love it. Its so addictive.

    I have been plugging away at this and have made tons of flowers, but a black pearl looks impossible! It is very addictive and rather pretty.
    Not around too often!

    It's a great game and have been playing in my spare time when I get a chance. I'm hooked on the Fight Night demo.

    My brother's got all the achievements except the black pearl flower. He's got quite good at making the black pearls. It seems to be all about the location you create the stars at.

    Oi

    I managed to get one, \o/

    The only achievements I have now got left is the bunch of black pearls in a 3.

    100 games of hexic and also making the flower with the black pearls.

    Best advice for this game is to play the game on the marathon setting and take your time and think about the moves and locations of the gems after doing this for bout 20 mins it seems a lot easier to pick the moves up.

    This is really a thinking mans game. I just get too impatient and randomly rotate blocks.

    I agree this seems the best method, but how annoying is it when the stars move and you get 3 together which makes them disappear

    Comes preinstalled as a freebie with the 360 HDD. You just play it from the downloaded arcade games list.

    I always find them harder to manouver though it they are right at the bottom. Ive never actually created a black pearl (not even come close to be honest).

    I was so close to creating one today, had 7 stars, was just trying to find a way to align them all.... Then a sodding bomb came and destroyed my hopes and dreams. Bugger.
