Ripten writes: "Double D Dodgeball feels like you're playing dodgeball with a bunch of mutinous aliens from Space Invaders; who, tired of seeing wave after wave of their brothers marching to their deaths, go M.I.A. and play dodgeball, a game that the entire Alpha Centauri cluster can play in peace. Oscar run for sure!
If you're not familiar with the rules of dodgeball, well, I'm a little sad for you. Two teams. Rectangular playing field split down the middle. Grab the balls. Use them to rape and pillage the other team. One hit and you're out."

Wanted isn't even out yet. And it's Grin doing it, and it's not been delayed for the movie - could actually be really good.
The Legend of Zelda. She wasn't even in Majoras Mask. Who's telling legends of Zelda? They're too busy telling children about the heroic adventures of Link, or the "unnamed" hero.
YUKE'S Company of America, the U.S. publishing arm of Japanese game developer YUKE'S Company Limited, today announced the release of Big Bang Boom, a new downloadable content pack for Double D Dodgeball on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. The new DLC package includes Barrier, a player that creates a protective barrier around itself after catching a super shot for some added defense. Additionally, a new Bomb Ball can be thrown into the fray, a ball that explodes when it hits an opponent and causes a blast radius that knocks out any other players nearby. Finally, heat up the competition with a Fire Line, a flame-laden baseline that sends players to the sidelines when touched.
