XBLIG IMPRESSIONS: "Fatal Seduction"

Fatal Seduction is a new XBLIG title that was released by the developer 'Silver Dollar Games'. During my recent search for games to review I actually found the foreign trailer of this game on youtube. I believe it was in German, but I can't recall. I passed up asking the developer for a review code, because I wasn't really sure what the game was about. This morning I decided I would check out the trial just out of curiosity.

XBLA IMPRESSIONS: "Galaga Legions DX"

I'm a fan of both oldschool, and new shmup shooters. In my gaming past I've actually played the old Galaga game, and to be honest I enjoyed the newer shmup titles much more. Recently I heard that NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. was going to be releasing a DX version of Galaga in response to their very popular PAC-MAN Championship Ed. DX. I was very excited about the news. I used to own PAC-MAN C.E. DX for the PS3, and I was very impressed with it. Namco really went the extra mile with that game, and I couldn't wait to see what was instore for Galaga. This morning I was checking the latest XBLA game releases out, and noticed Galaga Legions DX was at the front of the list. I didn't hesitate in downloading the trial version to see what it offered.

XBLA IMPRESSIONS: "Half-Minute Hero SMNC"

I recently decided to try out the XBLA game 'Half-Minute Hero -Super Mega Neo Climax'. The game was developed by 'Marvelous Entertainment Inc./Opus Studio Inc.'. What drew me to this game were the graphics, and the art style. It reminded me a lot of 'The Legend of Zelda: WindWaker'. Some of the characters in the game actually appeared to be inspired by such a game. After I finished downloading the trial I decided to see what it was all about, and if it was worth the 800 msp price tag that was placed on it.

Mechanoid Army (XBLIG): "Tiny Terrors In A Cute Metal Package"

Recently the developer of the upcoming XBLIG zombie title called 'Zombies Ruined My Day' was kind enough to give me a code to his previous game. The game is titled 'Mechanoid Army', and was released as an Xbox Live Indie Game in 2010. It's a cute little space platformer with a serious back story about the possibility of Earth's demise via robots. After playing through the entire game this morning I have to honestly say I was very impressed.
