Geometry Wars was awesome. Something about the simple game play was incredibly addicting, and the graphics were pretty cool, too. I expect Geometry Wars 2 to be 2 times as awesome. We’ll find out soon as it will be available on Xbox Live Arcade August 6. In the mean time, you can look at a bunch of new screenshots.
I remember playing the 1942 arcade game when I was a kid, it was awesome. Now we’re getting a HD remake of the original. For years I thought this was exactly what the Pacific theater of war was really like.
So, I got this email from Capcom stating that the long-awaited Rocketmen: Axis of Evil will be released on XBLA and the PSN. 800 points on LIVE, $10 on PSN. But, I’ve never heard of this long awaited game… (more…)
Normally, I’m not really into puzzle games, they just aren’t my thing. Ever since Tetris and Dr. Mario I just haven’t been able to get into them. So, when I picked up Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I knew it had RPG elements, I just wasn’t sure how it would all come together. Well, it all came together awesomely. In fact, so many people liked it that a sequel is now headed our way. Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is set in the future. Instead of round pieces like in the previous game, Galactrix uses hexagonally shaped pieces which play differently then in the original. Also, gravity plays a large role in this game, affecting how pieces move.
Bionic Commando: Rearmed looks sweet as hell. Seriously, I don’t understand why there aren’t more 2D side scrolling games released on the latest consoles. Once everything hit 3D, it’s like there was no real going back. Imagine how cool a 2D Castlevania, Mario, or Sonic game would look if they did something like this on a current gen system. But no…it’s like most companies have relegated 2D to handhelds.
I think way more people are excited about Rearmed then the 3D one. I don’t even know what the 3D Bionic Commando remake is called, because I don’t even care. I know it won’t be as sweet as Rearmed, especially with the two player co-op.
I really liked Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers looks just as awesome. Multiplayer beat-em-ups are always good, and I love the artwork in the game. I’ve been wondering if Castle Crashers was ever coming out, actually, it seems like it’s taken forever to develop. Well a release date has been set (sort of) for summer 2008.
Also, we have a couple of new screen shots that look really nice.
Yeah, 1 million times. That’s like 25,000 downloads a day. I’m one of those 1 million people. I haven’t played it yet, but that doesn’t matter. What does matter is I downloaded it, I helped. The whole press release is below:
Howdy Michael,
Quick email to let you know that on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2008, Capcom’s Devil May Cry 4 demo on the Xbox LIVE service passed its one millionth download, and is still going!
According to Microsoft, not only is this the first demo of the year to hit a million downloads, but it’s also one of the fastest downloads to hit the one million mark in the history of the LIVE service. The demo appeared on the network January 24, and has been averaging over 25,000 downloads a day ever since. Additionally, the game has been a huge hit at retail, with reorders coming from major retailers within days of the game’s release.Email with any questions regarding DMC4, Capcom or any of our other games. As always, assets, information and images can be found at http://press.capcom.com.
Thanks, hope this didn’t hit your Spam bucket!
It didn’t hit my spam bucket Capcom, it didn’t.
Rez HD will be coming out soon for XBLA (January 30th), and if you don’t want to spend the 800 points on the game, head over to the official Rez HD site, sign up, and be sure to check the “Do you wish to participate in the drawing to win a prepaid code for Rez HD?” I had Rez for the PS2, and it was cool and everything, but I don’t know if I need the HD version of the game, too. I also happened to have a headache one day while I was playing the game a lot, so I think I negatively associate Rez with headaches. Sort of like how I got food poisoning and continued to try and play Mass Effect…I can’t play Mass Effect anymore.
If you don’t know what Rez is…you basically fly around and shoot stuff to music…for a more detailed description see below:

Bionic Commando for the NES is basically totally awesome. The Japanese version placed the character in a battle against futuristic Nazis. The final boss was Adolf Hitler, who had been resurrected by evil scientists. Unfortunately, the U.S. version had all of that removed, but it was still a fun game. I remember playing this a lot as a kid and loving it.
This new remake, Bionic Commando Rearmed (available on PC, XBLA, PSN) looks really nice. Seriously, from the video it looks very well done, the graphics look totally sweet. I wonder if it will have all of the future Nazi stuff included. It is scheduled to be released in Spring of 2008. Here’s the whole press release:
