From Ophelea,
I'm going to come straight out and say it. I hate the title of this game - PowerUp Forever. It just screams mundane at me. But there's this test that simple titles should be able to pass: it's the "duh test?" Unlike a Mass Effect which requires explanation (and mystery) or a Call of Duty which at least tells you what the setting is, but not the gameplay, the simple title tells you everything you need to know about the game in the title. PowerUp Forever pretty much says it all... get those powerups and just keep going and going. The thing is, it was pretty cool.
Cubed3's Mike Mason recently got the chance to speak to Andrew and Philip Oliver - the Oliver Twins. The pair, creators of Dizzy the egg and co-founders of Blitz Games Studios, were happy to speak about their company's plans and divisions.
Ironically, they both seem to look like Dizzy as they got older on the header image.
A look at PowerUp Forever, an under-selling arcade shooter on Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network from Blitz Games Studios.
A look around tells me it was added in March this year on EU PSN...but I don't have access to it to check on a PS3 itself, unfortunately.
Hmm, I'll go check if so, must've been uploaded when I was busy and had no access to the internet. Sounds like an excellent concept!
EDIT: Yeah, it's there. Gonna go try a demo on my 360 though.
GiantBomb:
"OK, I'll stop harping on the name. It's not that big of a deal. PowerUp Forever is a pretty good dual-joystick shooter that stands out, even though there are now around a billion of these games available on various digital download services. If you felt that Flow was too soft, or that you wanted more guns in the first stage of Spore, you'll certainly dig it."
