PixlBit | "Can you remember being at the arcade and spying a strange Franken-cabinet offering a game you’d never seen before? Perhaps a black spray-painted Pac-Man with a generic marquee above the screen with a name you’d never heard of and would never remember. You peered into the screen despite the bland trappings and ended up spending a wonderful afternoon trying to conquer a B-tier action game you would quickly forget. This is certainly not an experience Cinemax was trying to recreate with Commando: Steel Disaster, but it’s what they’ve done and I love them for it."
NWR: Above all else, Commando: Steel Disaster takes precautions to match the style and gameplay of the Metal Slug series. As much is initially obvious from the game's visual style, and immediately confirmed through gameplay. In fact, precautions is far gentler a term than Steel Disaster's abrasive, surprisingly boring imitation job probably warrants. The game does a fairly convincing Metal Slug pose, but can't hold it long, or even well.

With the dogs days of summer upon us, the next seven days offer only a scant number of retail releases, with Atlus’ Persona 4 Arena being the most notable. However, on the digital front things are are bit more varied with Hybrid, a exceedingly secretive third-person shooter from consistently creative developer 5th Cell and Commando: Steel Disaster, a portable title which draws undeniably inspiration from the Metal Slug series.
Wow a japanese game that put a broke 360 game out and will patch it. This is so obviously done in retaliation to the multitude of broken ps3 games thathave been released. @mediastudies ...its been reported that the online portion lags.
Sound Scapes has my interest, but I doubt it will get my money this week.
Just too broke right now.
Too bad Hybrid isn't $10. Summer of Arcade should offer deals, not just a marketing slogan.
