Xbox Evolved writes: "Zeno Clash was first released on Steam in April 2009. More than a year later, and after some high praises, the game now sees release on XBLA in the form of Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition. In this new edition the game has received some improvements, new modes, and new content. So should fans of the PC game be willing to invest in this new edition, and should players who haven't experienced the original be interested in this title? Let's find out."
Abyss Odyssey is a great looking new multiplayer 2D side scrolling action-platformer (whew!) with impressive fighting mechanics, roguelike elements, and randomly generated environments.
The enemy characters all feature complex AI and a fully featured move-set equivalent to your own; meaning that the enemies are akin to a roster of fighters in a fighting game, requiring different tactics and skills to be vanquished. Once defeated, the player can capture the souls of their enemies, then use them as playable characters, each with their own abilities, combos, and special powers.
With it’s mixture of side scrolling platforming, plus action and fighter mechanics, this could have everything Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero so badly failed to deliver, and more. Stay tuned for details about release date and platform availability.
This looks great! If it has co-op, is a must buy for me - my gf just love anything side scrolling (she's currently in a love affair with Dragon's Crown). And I, obviously, love playing with her. :D
OMG This game looks awesome.
I've always wanted a Double Dragon or Streets of Rage type of game mixed with Street Fighter 2, and this is about as close as it gets.
Even if it ends up being just "ok", it's ideas like this that excite me about games.
These guys are actually trying to do something different, not just saying they are.
I wish them the best of luck. It's a cool concept.
Dealspwn rounds up ten brilliant XBLA games that you probably haven't heard of.
Dealspwn: "The Xbox Live Marketplace has gone from strength to strength over the last few years, becoming nothing less than the Xbox 360's unique selling point. It's the ultimate equaliser and a source of innovation that frequently puts retail releases to shame - but the only flaw is that it's easy for XBLA games to go unnoticed without even making a splash.
So here are ten of the games that fell through the media cracks, that languish near the bottom of the best selling lists yet provide plenty of bang for your buck."
This weeks deal of the weeks is a mix of arcade games. All the titles below are 50% off, some of them are worth the price and some are still questionable. This is a perfect time to grab Comic jumper, Hard Corps Or even Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.
