xerocube — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:22:34 +0000

Did you play Prince of Persia for the XBOX 360? Did you have a good time with all the acrobatic goodness the game allowed? Do you want to know what happened AFTER you were forced to make a huge mistake in the game’s final moments? If you answered “Yes” to the above, then you’ll probably be interested in hearing that the DLC “Epilogue” for Prince of Persia has been discounted on the XBOX Live Marketplace.

The content retails for 800 Microsoft Points, but is available for 560 MS Points through October 10, 2009.

In order to partake, you must be a XBOX Live Gold member.

Shadow Complex Achievements

xerocube — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 18:58:17 +0000

Shadow Complex, due August 19, 2009, looks to be a fantastic XBLA game, paying homage to the great Metroid and Castlevania game of days past. The achievements for this game have just been announced and one I find interesting is the “Minimalist” achievement. I am used to seeing rewards for finding everything in a game, but rarely do I see a game reward the player for completing a game with the bare minimum of items contained in a game.

Shadow Complex Achievements arrive with a handful of screens, new trailer

LET’S GET PUNCHY: Melee 5 soldiers (15)

BOMBA PUNTER: Punt 20 Bombas (20)

MY HEAD A-SPLODE: Get 50 head shots (20)

MAKE ‘EM SCREAM: Get 100 soldiers to scream (20)

TO KILL A BLACKBIRD: Destroy the helicopter attacking the Vice President (15)

LOOK OUT!: Kill a soldier with a Bomba (5)

WALKIN’ ON WATER: Make it from one end of lake to the other in hyper-speed (5)

HERO: Complete the game on any difficulty setting (50)

COMPLETIONIST: Complete the game with 100% of the items (20)

MINIMALIST: Complete the game with less than 13% of the items (10)

PROVEN GROUNDS: Complete the Proving Grounds (10)

SERIOUS COMPLEX: Level-up to experience level 50 (10)

Dead Rising 2 information (via Kotaku)

xerocube — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:52:57 +0000

Apparently, I am hungering for more Dead Rising 2 information. Here is a snippet from Kotaku’s impressions of the game.

Kotaku – Dead Rising 2: 7,000 Zombies and Plenty of Chainsaws – dead rising 2

The original Dead Rising may have been a technological breakthrough, a wonder of body count and open-world exploration, but what really sold it for me, and for many, was the game’s heart.

It had personality, most of it packed into gruff photojournalist lead Frank West. So when the curtain was raised on Dead Rising 2 last week, I was hoping for a glimpse at the game’s soul. What we got instead was a detailed run through of its engine.

Dead Rising 2 wasn’t built on the shambling corpse of Dead Rising, instead Canadian developers Blue Castle started from scratch creating a new engine written specifically for the new game.

“What we are showing you today is something completely new,” said Dan Brady, CEO of Blue Castle Games. “It is not based on the engine used in Dead Rising one, this is a completely unique and original engine written specifically for Dead Rising 2.”

This article talks more about the technology of the game, so don’t expect much about the plot. But it is still an interesting read.

I loved Dead Rising. I thought it was a fantastic game, great story, fun gameplay, and, most of all, good zombie killing times. And now, the sequel. I had my doubts, but it this trailer can be believed — I think I have found my first must have game of the year. Check it out!

Fallout 3 Release Date

xerocube — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:23:26 +0000

Great news from Bethesda! They’ve announced the release date for Fallout 3. I have always been a huge fan of the Fallout IP and have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new installment. From the press release:

Bethesda Softworks

Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, announced today that its highly anticipated title, Fallout® 3, will be available on store shelves and online in North America on October 28, 2008 and in Europe on October 31, 2008.

More information comes from Amazon.com in terms of pricing and editions. There will be three editions to the game: Standard, Collector’s, and, the Amazon.com exclusive, Survival editions for the XBOX 360, PS3, and the PC. I can’t tell you which to get, though I know the 360 and PC versions has been confirmed to get DLC expansions later on. I can only guess that it will be available for the PS3 some months later.

[XBOX360] Lego Indiana Jones

Archbishop Xero — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:37:26 +0000

I have just completed my run through Lego Indiana Jones for the 360. I admit that I love the Lego series of games. The interpretations that they gave the Star Wars series was fantastic, so my expectations were high for the Indiana Jones treatment.

What I got in Indiana Jones was another solid entry for the Lego series. The cut-scene humor was exactly what I was expecting and was quite amusing. The gameplay was very much similar to the other Star Wars games (break stuff, collect studs, find secrets, and beat bosses).

My compliants are minimal. They deliberately strayed somewhat from the movies in the more graphic of details (no faces were melted or hearts ripped out during the game); however, there were frequent (though funny) decapitations. Curious. And no mention of the Nazis, though the blonde-haired, blue-eyed grunts were a dead giveaway.I will say that some of the levels ran a little longer than what I would have liked – sometimes taking as long as an hour to complete a single stage.

During my run through the game, I ran across the normal camera issues that have been commonplace in the Lego series. I found several of the boss fights to be extremely difficult to figure out without having to reference an online game guide. The Mola Ram battle glitched a few times be never sending me thuggies with swords… talk about frustrating. Finally, where was the online co-operative play?

All in all, I enjoyed this game. It didn’t deliver anything particularly innovative in advancing the Lego series, but it did provide a lot of fun gameplay, especially with the local co-op mode. I’d recommend playing this game, but make sure you have someone to enjoy the game with, as the multiplayer where I had the most fun.

Wii Review: Ninjabread Man

xerocube — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 14:41:29 +0000

Candy Land is under attack by evil cakes, bees, and jellied monsters. This sounds like a job for Ninjabread Man! So goes the premise of the action platformer for the Wii.

The concept of the game, a gingerbread man with mad ninja skills, hooked me from the advertising. The game title alone warranted a rental. Sadly, in the 20 minutes I devoted to playing, this game has not lived up to my expectations.

Upon starting the game, I immediately note that the music does not fit with my Asian inspired expectations. I was greeted with some disco-pop soundtrack that kept my foot tapping while attempting to control the Ninjabread Man.

The graphics, while not outstanding, are decent for the Wii. They will not knock your socks off, nor be considered for any type of award. They could be much much worse. The level design is decidedly uninspired and looks like any other genero-platformer, only with a sweet candy coating.

What ruins this game for me is the control scheme. The nunchuk analog stick is a bit sensitive and the Wii remote is not senstive enough when attempting to swing the character’s sword. I found myself flailing around the living room trying to attack a bouncing chomping cake and died to my inability to actually swing the sword. Using the nunchuk to move the character led me to running 90 to nothing off the platforms on which I eventually jumped. This could be a great platformer for the young ones, especially with enough patience to get aruond the control scheme. Unfortunately, I couldn’t overcome it.

In the end, I wanted to like this game. I’m sure the developer’s worked hard to publish a great game, but this just fell flat. Perhaps it couldn’t live up to my much imagined hype revolving around all things ninja.

Score: 5.5/10

Weekly 360 Game Night #4 – Recap

xerocube — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 20:16:34 +0000

Week #4 of the Weekly 360 Game Nights. Here we are a month later and still going fairly strong for our group. This week’s game was Burnout: Revenge. Three members of our group joined the festivites: DirtpileFox, PelicanSteve, and Archbishop Xero. Archbishop Xero hosted the bouts.

The ranked goodness began with a series of 1 Round matches. PelicanSteve boosted his way to an easy victory the first match. Dirtpile won the second match with a .2 second win over Archbishop. And in a stunning turn of events, Xero pulled out a win on the third match thoroughly disappointing PelicanSteve. We raced and wished for a new car: The Krispy Kreme Racer (hot doughnuts NOW!).

Then things took a turn for the more interesting. The room piled up with random racers from around the world. Spyder888, ThwartedVash, and (ironically enough) BagODohNuts (and others) competed throughout the evening. Once Vash was cleansed with a little ointment, DohNuts found out that we weren’t actually out to get him.

There was no Takedown Fest tonight… and no achievements awarded, that I am aware of.

For those keeping track, some statistics:

PelicanSteve:
- Matches Played: 10
- Matches Won: 3
- Total Takedowns:<10
- Medals: Team Rankings Leader
- Memorable Moment: Breaking into the Top 10,000 in the World Rankings.
Archbishop Xero:
- Matches Played: 10
- Matches Won:1
- Total Takedowns: <15
- Medals: Captain Obvious
- Memorable Moment: Krispy Kreme Racer…
DirtpileFox:
- Matches Played:10
- Matches Won:1
- Total Takedowns: <10
- Medals: The “A for Effort” Medal
- Memorable Moment: Cleaning up his $#@^ing foul mouth, $#% Damm!#

On a sidenote: Bran started her own game night this evening. Branching out with the Wii, she laid some cooking smack down in Ratatouille. Being a single player game, there was not mucht rash talk, but suffice it to say that the TV received quite the verbal beatdown.

For those keeping track, some statistics:

BrandyWine:
- Hours Played: 2
- Slides Dominated: 2
- Stars Collected: > 250
- Medals: Sous Chef
- Memorable Moment: Finally learning how to survive the drain pipe slide.

See you next Wednesday. Game of the Night: Halo 2. Backup games: Gears of War, Bomberman Live, NCAA Football 2008

What games do you want to see in the coming Game nights? Leave a comment and let us know!
