Looking forward to giving this one a try.

I saw the title and briefly thought 'what the hell is EA doing with 360 fanatic trolls now?'

There was another game like this on PSN from 2007 I think that had you inside the human body fighting stuff. Can't remember the name but it was kinda fun. This looks like it'll be too.

Arcade games on Live always come out on a Wednesday.

RonyDean5288d ago

Microsoft lately has been releasing them at a weird time. Not sure why...

Godmars2905288d ago

If they happen to be before they're out on PSN, which use to do it on Thursdays, then you've got your answer. MS probably changed release times w/o announcing it.

Looks pretty cool, going to try it out after work today.

Edit: Don't know why, it reminds me of "Innerspace".

This game has 100% less Martin Short in it! and that is a good thing.

antz11045287d ago

Lol, I don't know man, every game could use "de cowboy".

madpuppy5287d ago

AH! but "De Cowboy" was actually played by Robert Picardo the "doctor" from Star Trek Voyager.

CrzyFooL5288d ago (Edited 5288d ago )

Game is MEH.

You fight Spermbots inside your own body. Not even kidding. It's like that family guy episode, except with bad Level design. :-)

Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....

This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.

Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
