Gaming Irresponsibly writes: Recently, I had a chance to play Kalypso Media’s new Xbox Live Arcade title, Boulder Dash-XL. After spending what felt like ten minutes playing the arcade mode, I looked down at my watch to discover that more than an hour had passed. Disregarding the possibility that Kalypso Media had invented a time machine, the hours spent in the addictive arcade mode must have been the result of time unaccounted for. The gripping game play Kalypso has created will leave you glued to your system for hours on end saying the same thing I have been saying over the last few days, “just one more cave”.
AR: 1984 was chock full of good stuff. Michael Jordan. The Mac commercial. Miami Vice. It was the year of the unforgettable Icon.
It was also the year of Boulder Dash. Y’all remember Rockford and his timed adventure hunting for diamonds. Well, Rockford is back in HeroCraft’s remade retro Boulder Dash-XL.
PadGadget: There is nothing sweeter than being able to go back to your childhood for a few wondrous moments. Not the bad part of childhood, where you dad takes away your skateboard for a week because you were out past sundown. The good part, the times when you spend long, lazy summer days playing video games on your Atari. Well, you can relive those sweet bygone days again with Boulder Dash-XL.
AppSpy: While the variety of choice is nice, Boulderdash is a game of its time, and this does little to revamp it for a new audience.
Nice review!
I guess I'll put my 800 msp into this
Hmm. Better score than I would have thought
