Now that the 360 has been on the market for a number years now, we’re starting to see some big name titles come down to single-digit prices. And as long as you willing to go digging around in the used-game market, you can starting building an impressive game library for much less than the console cost you. Now, I haven’t played all of these, but I’m going mostly on critic’s reviews and word-of-mouth from gamers with similar tastes. I figured [...]
There is no denying that there is a great deal of buzz going around about the upcoming release of Street Fighter IV. Even though some of us long-term fans would have liked the game the feature hand-drawn animations in pure 2D, SF4 looks to maintain much of its heritage in terms of overall style and gameplay. We have learned a great deal since the games official announcement back in October. Even though I can’t quite keep up the pace of [...]
I like like shooting games. I love fighting games. And I adore hybrid games. I’m thinking I will enjoy Senko no Ronde. Senko no Ronde is a hybrid 2D shmup fighting game from G.Rev (of Border Down and Under Defeat fame) that originated on the NAOMI arcade hardware, but for some incredibly strange reason, never received a Dreamcast port (I’m still terribly bitter). Instead it was brought to the Japanese XBox 360 (go figure). Videos of the game’s unique gameplay [...]
As one of my all-time favorite games of my childhood, I was glad to see the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game come to the XBox Live Arcade. It isn’t a deep game by any means, but it is filled with nostalgia and is loads of fun when whacking Foot Soldiers with a bunch of friends. Since one of the great advantages the XBox Live Arcade has over the Wii’s Virtual Console (so far) is that developers usually throw [...]
While most of the guys in my dorm in college were playing Warcraft 2 and Half-Life, I was filling my free time with Worms Armageddon fire-fights. Whether it was a multiplayer tournament with my neighbors or a one-on-one battle with my soon-to-be-wife, Worms was always good for some intense strategy and lots of hearty laughs. After a stint in the 3D world, the Worms franchise is back to 2D Land and is almost as good as ever. It is still [...]
Between the fact that I have been waiting years for a new game like Guardian Heroes and my love for The Behemoth’s artistic style, Castle Crashers is the most highly-anticipated XBox Live Arcade game in my book. (see my initial Castle Crashers post) I didn’t have many doubts about the game after seeing early versions in action, but I was still anxious to see how the game progressed after further development. Joystiq was at the GDC ’07 Conference and was [...]
As a child of the 1980’s, I was all but obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was a kid. (Fortunately, it didn’t make this much of an impact on me) So imagine the nostalgic thrill I’m having with the new wave of Ninja Turtles goodies resurfacing to coincide with the release of the new Turtles movie. I know in the forum, we have had some mixed opinions about if the style of the new movie is as [...]
In case you didn’t believe me when I told you Sonic was going downhill, X-Play gives us all the reasons the avoid the new Sonic the Hedgehog for the XBox 360 in its finely-composed video segment. I’ll go back to playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on my GP2X and try to forget that this game exists. Similar Posts From These Categories: Sega, XBox 360
