A review of the first Laughing Jackal PSN title Cubixx HD. Cubixx HD is a challenging title that is perfect for a dip in play style.
Vaughn.H writes: The premise is simple: you have a cube and a laser, and you must use the laser to cut the sides of the cube up, to clear a certain target percentage of the level so you can finish. In reality its difficult: you have a cube and a laser, you use the laser to cut the sides off the cube, but then a god damn square gets in your way and you lose the line, and lose a life.
Years ago, Qix was a neat puzzle game. You were on a 2D level where you had to cut out the environment while avoiding enemies. Then, years later Cubixx was released as a PSP Mini, a title that could be played on both the PSP and PS3. Cubixx was so successful that the developers were able to remake the title on the PS3 as Cubixx HD. Now, the title has been ported to Steam and it mostly holds up, but players may find the release somewhat unneeded.
A PS3 remaster of a PSP Mini makes its way to Steam with surprisingly few changes. However, whether or not that is a bad thing remains to be seen.
Defunct Games reviews Cubixx HD, out this week on Steam. This is a fun update to the Taito arcade classic Qix. Originally released on PSP in 2010, Cubixx HD finally brings the fun to Steam.
The concept of the game itself sounds interesting but I would much rather play a new Tetris for consoles.
Hmm, it does seem like a pretty cool game. : )
