In total you could scoop up all five games for just under $30 and, since this is a 50% off sale, that also means you'll have saved just under $30. That's math.

1942: Joint Strike E3 shirts now available for purchase

Fun fact: Yoshiki Okamoto created both 1942 and the Street Fighter series, so the shirt's image with Cammy isn't an entirely random cross-promotion.

Go! Go! to the XBLA for Break Steady & 1942

1942 out tomorrow in the US; 'a couple of weeks' in Europe

Europeans will, sadly, have "a couple of weeks" to wait before they can get their hands on the remake of Capcom's classic top-down shooter. Unless you have a 360, that is. It seems SCEE's PSN department still needs a bit of straightening out. Sure, they're aiming for simultaneous worldwide releases, but we hope it won't take another year before we actually see some results in that department. The estimated price? £6.99. Don't get us started.

This Wednesday: Go! Go! Break Steady and 1942 jointly strike XBLA
by Randy Nelson { Jul 21st 2008 at 4:50PM }
Capcom continues its retro revival on XBLA this Wednesday with the release of 1942: Joint Strike. Developed by Backbone Entertainment (Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 and the upcoming Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix), the game is a classic two-player, top-down shooter set against the backdrop of an alternate WWII where laser cannons and building-sized tanks are commonplace. It's landing at 800 MS points ($10).
Go! Go! Break Steady is a rhythm puzzle game set against the backdrop of an alternate WWII– er, actually it's a breakdancing themed puzzler from indie dev Little Boy Games. We first checked out this XNA-to-XBLA success story at GDC '08. You can pop and/or lock to your heart's content for 800 MS points ($10). If you don't care for the trial game, you can always use the $10 to support your local youth center, which was likely saved by breakdancers in the '80s.

Go! Go! Break Steady and 1942: Joint Strike make their way to the XBLA this Wed.

And just in case you wanted to know a bit more about each title, developer Little Boy Games' debut title Go! Go! Break Steady is a mix between the music and puzzle genres utilizing 20 original tracks. As far as 1942: Joint Strike goes, it's a Backbone Entertainment developed remake of the original top down vertical shooter Joint Strike featuring co-op gameplay and plenty of explosive goodness.

1942: Joint Strike arrives on PSN 7/24

It only seems like yesterday that Capcom released another shooter onto the PSN. Well, their assault on digital downloads isn't over yet. 1942: Joint Strike will be available on PSN later this month -- the 24th, to be precise.
Joint Strike continues the gameplay found in the original 194X series of arcade games from the 80s. Gamers should know exactly what to expect: tons of fast-paced vertical rails sooting. Developed by Backbone Entertainment, Joint Strike will feature two-player online cooperative play and a new score created by Norihiko Hibino. That guy? He's just famous for making music for this "Metal Gear" thing.
New screens have been uploaded to our gallery. Check 'em out:

1942: Joint Strike set to deploy 7/23 to XBLA, 7/24 to PSN
by Ross Miller { Jul 9th 2008 at 9:30AM }
The game is yet another HD remake for Capcom, after giving similar treatment to Super Puzzle Fighter II and Super Super Street Fighter II. Developer Backbone Entertainment went the extra mile, however, in creating new backdrops, levels and enemies. The game features a new score by frequent Metal Gear Solid contributor Norihiko Hibino. What hasn't changed? It's still a shoot-em-up, so for better or worse, you know exactly what to expect.

Joystiq impressions: 1942: Joint Strike (XBLA/PSN)
by Zack Stern { Mar 13th 2008 at 12:30PM }
I recently checked out an alpha version of the game on a 360. The graphics looked sharp, with light sepia effects evoking a news-reel quality at times. Other times, colors popped against high-definition backgrounds. While the 3D world exists in a top-down angle, tall buildings leaned with the perspective, adding another visual hook to the shooter.
