Rock of Ages review at Gaming Nexus
Rock of Ages has one of those baffling concepts that sounds too crazy to work. Yet here I am about to spend a thousand words explaining why everybody should rush to their systems and download this charming action/strategy game. Even with a short campaign and repetitive levels, Rock of Ages is one of the most refreshing Xbox Live Arcade games I've played all year.
Believe it or not, Rock of Ages is incredibly easy to describe. Think of it as a mixture of Marble Madness and Rampart, two of Atari's very best arcade games. You play a large boulder whose sole purpose is to speed down a hill and crash into your enemy's castle door. At the same time there will be a second boulder trying to do the same thing to your castle. The first player to successfully break down the stronghold wins.
