A while ago, I mentioned how good Trine looks. The PC version came out at $30 and only supports hotseat coop. So I waited for the PS3 or Xbox versions to be available only to find them delayed. Then, no mention of the 360 version at all. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3175872 It’s still coming, perhaps a bit later than the [ READ MORE ]
Next week, XBLA and PSN will have BF1943; and Xbox Live enforces a trial be available. I would suggest grabbing that trial and giving it a shot. It will probably be an excellent multiplayer shooter with 4 maps. Expect future map packs to cost as much as the full game. Thanks, Evilavatar [ READ MORE ]
SDP posted at Cheapassgamer of a TMNT truck going around for the 25th anniversary. A truck containing a demo unit for a remake of Turtles in Time. Hit up CAG for some additional screenshots. One more up close below… [ READ MORE ]
Early Wed morning, Lode Runner was released to the marketplace for 800 points. All of the advertising and announcements pointed to another 1200 point release, including the page on xbox.com. But the marketplace had it for 800. I decided to purchase through the marketplace on xbox.com and add to my queue. Account charged 800 points. **Price was determined [ READ MORE ]
Well, for as good of a game as it is, Castle Crashers has one glaring flaw: you can lose ALL of your progress. This occurs when you play the game on multiple consoles, and when you load the 2nd console you find your characters aren’t there. Loading the game up and exiting will then Save, [ READ MORE ]
I finally beat: Braid Well, finally may not be the right word. I played through this one pretty quick. My initial impressions held up throughout, and exceeded in terms of story. Very similar to Portal in both story presentation and gameplay. Platforming that requires perfect timing and precision, but a gameplay mechanic that makes what seems [ READ MORE ]
don’t tell me the ending to: Braid Braid is simply a marvelous game. One could think ‘Mario Bros with Time Control’ would help give an idea, a glimpse of concept, as to how it plays. But it doesn’t. Time control was revolutionary with Prince of Persia. It allowed the game to be brutally difficult, slaughtering your character left [ READ MORE ]
N+ is fucking hard Seriously. It’s very hard. Call of Duty 4 on Veteran? You have AI friends to help you through the hard parts. You have a GUN. In N+? Your only weapon is a self-sacrificing friend in co-op to blow themselves up on some mines. That, and you [ READ MORE ]
I finally beat: Prince of Persia Classic Delayed, I know, but I did beat it a couple of months ago. In short order, even. It came out. I played it and had it done in just a day or two. … Shut up. I know it is “just an hour long.” … Well, Prince of Persia [ READ MORE ]
I just bought Rez. You should, too. On Xbox Live and PSN, there are a few must own games. Undertow was free, and I hope you all already got that one. Alien Hominid packs a ton of value into its $10’s of classic Contra-like action. Everyday Shooter is probably the best top-down shooter, [ READ MORE ]
