To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, LucasArts is releasing a selection of fantastic new outfits and accessories for your Xbox Live Avatars.
The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition is out today for an extremely cheap 800MS Points! I say cheap because this is one of my favourite game (series) from my youth, revamped with new graphics and sound for the youth of today! (Although there is the option to play it as it was in the old days). When compared to many other games on the Xbox Live marketplace, you are definately getting a great deal for your money.
I tried downloading it during my lunch break today but only got to about 75%! So I will have to wait until tomorrow to play it. I am very excited about this Monkey Island remake and hope it is the beginning of something wonderful; a re-release (and revamp) of a selection of classic Lucas Arts games such as Monkey Island 2 and “Day of the Tentacle”.
So, Sony/Playstation have temporary “exclusive” rights for the Ghost Busters retail game in Europe. Annoying huh? Well, for those of you who are a bit impatient you will be pleased to know that you can still play it now! (well, shipping takes 24 hours but you can play it before the UK/Europe release date).
Ghost Busters on the Xbox 360 is “Region Free”, meaning that if you buy a copy from, say.. Canada, it will work on your European Xbox 360 console. Woohoo!
Damn, I just can’t get enough of this game at the moment. Whilst I’m not great at the online skirmishes, they are incredibly addictive.
Since I got back from my holiday last weekend (and just before I left) I have been pretty hooked on this game. Whilst it isn’t as deep as “Command and Conqueror” and other PC-based RTS games, Halo Wars is still very entertaining. For some reason it reminds me of when I used to play Warcraft 3 over and over and over again.
So, what makes it so good..?
This weeks “Deal of the Week” is actually something worth talking about. Yes, for 400 MS Points you can get your hands on the excellent re-make of Bionic Commando; a fantastic challenging and addictive game that originated on the NES about 20 years ago.
Bionic Commando Rearmed is a platforming game where you must use your bionic arm to grapple and swing about the levels, avoiding enemies or using gun upgrades (or barrels) to take them out. The game also features hacking mini games and numerous challenge maps to add some extra variety and replayability.
