X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Shadow Complex

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 19th 2009 at 3:15PM }

This week's XBLA in Brief is a little different. Normally we only take the trial version for a spin, but we were lucky enough to get our hands on the full version of Shadow Complex last week, so we've spent quite a bit of time with it. We've already handed the game a great review, now you can see what all the fuss is about.

The full version is 1200

($15).

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Trials HD

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 12th 2009 at 4:15PM }

The Summer of Arcade continues this week with Trials HD. Probably the least talked about game in the Summer of Arcade, we're happy to report that it seems like a solid title. It evokes the simplicity of Excite Bike as well as the zen state brought on by a perfect run in games like Tony Hawk. It also includes plenty of broken bones and explosions. So, something for everyone, really. Check out the latest XBLA in Brief and see what you think. The full version is 1200

($15).

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: TMNT Turtles in Time Re-Shelled

by Richard Mitchell { Aug 5th 2009 at 3:15PM }

Break out your old Ninja Turtle Halloween costume -- you know you have one -- because today is the day that TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled hits Xbox Live Arcade. If by chance you don't have a TMNT costume lying around (or a pile of action figures), this week's release might not be for you. Even at a reduced price of 800

($10), Turtles in Time is really only for those with a glint of nostalgia in their eyes (and wallets). Watch the latest episode of XBLA in Brief and see if there's enough turtle power left in the franchise to inspire one more purchase.

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Battlefield 1943

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 9th 2009 at 5:35PM }

First, we couldn't actually play Battlefield 1943 yesterday, so please forgive the tardiness of this, the latest episode of XBLA in Brief. Now that EA's servers seem to be in order, it's time to look at the new, download-only installment of Battlefield. In short, it seems pretty damned solid. Watch the latest episode and see if it deserves your 1200

($15).

XBLA in Brief: King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match, Worms 2: Armageddon

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 1st 2009 at 6:15PM }

Another twofer this week, as XBLA adds a fighting game and a turn-based strategy game to its ever-growing ranks. From SNK's huge library of fighting games, we have King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match. The XBLA version includes online play and will set you back 800

($10). Meanwhile, Team17 has dropped the sequel to the XBLA version of Worms, which is titled, appropriately enough, Worms 2: Armageddon. The game brings lots of new features to the table -- as well as some old favorites -- and also costs 800

($10).

Watch the latest episode of XBLA in Brief and see which one is screaming for your hard-earned cash.

XBLA in Brief: Droplitz, Garou: Mark of the Wolves

by Richard Mitchell { Jun 24th 2009 at 3:30PM }

This week on XBLA in Brief, we take the trial versions of both Droplitz and Garou: Mark of the Wolves for a spin. Droplitz is a puzzle game that involves turning lots of dials so that the game's titular droplets make it safely to the bottom of the screen. Garou -- known as Fatal Fury outside of Japan -- is a fighting game from the fine folks at SNK. Watch the latest episode of our XBLA series above and decide if either game is worth your 800

($10).

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Yosumin Live, Wallace & Gromit episode 1

by Richard Mitchell { May 27th 2009 at 3:00PM }

This week on XBLA, we've got a new puzzle game and the first in an episodic point-and-click adventure series. First up is Yosumin Live, the Japanese mobile phone game turned XBLA puzzler. Next is Wallace & Gromit in Fright of the Bumblebees from TellTale Games, creators of Sam & Max and the Strong Bad series. Watch the latest episode of XBLA in Brief and see if either is up your alley.

Oh, and Boggle was released this week for Hasbro Family Game Night as well. We didn't include it in the video, because we're guessing it's an awful lot like Boggle.

by Richard Mitchell { May 13th 2009 at 2:45PM }

It's Wednesday once again, which means it's time for a new episode of XBLA in Brief. We take a look at both Texas Cheat 'Em and Star Trek D-A-C. To sum things up, there's nothing spectacular this week. There might be something there for diehard poker or Star Trek fans, but the rest of us can probably save some MS Points.

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Zombie Wranglers, Arkanoid Live, Space Invaders Extreme

by Richard Mitchell { May 6th 2009 at 3:30PM }

Seemingly determined to force us to upgrade to a larger Xbox hard drive, Microsoft has again foisted three new Xbox Live Arcade titles upon us. We've got two retro remakes in Space Invaders Extreme and Arkanoid Live, and then we have a co-op zombie rodeo (more or less) in Zombie Wranglers. Watch the latest episode of XBLA in Brief and see if there's something for you this week.

All three titles cost 800

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Sorry!, Banjo Tooie, Virtual On

by Richard Mitchell { Apr 29th 2009 at 5:30PM }

We've got three new games on Xbox Live Arcade this week covering a pretty broad range of tastes. We've got a board game in Sorry!, the latest addition to Hasbro Family Game Night. Then we have the classic platformer, Banjo Tooie. Topping it all off there's Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram, an arcade mech fighting game from Sega. All in all, it's a pretty full week, and an expensive one too -- both Banjo and Virtual On clock in at 1200

.

Check out the latest episode of XBLA in Brief and see if any of 'em are worth a spin.

by David Hinkle { Apr 22nd 2009 at 4:15PM }

This week, the highly anticipated Lode Runner finally blasts its way onto Xbox Live Arcade. Your regular host isn't available, sadly, so you folks will have to make due with me.

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Puzzle Quest Galactrix, Flock!

by Richard Mitchell { Apr 8th 2009 at 5:30PM }

It's an XBLA double puzzler this week with both Puzzle Quest Galactrix and Flock! landing on Microsoft's download service. Galactrix is a traditional puzzle game laced with the trappings of an RPG, while Flock! is more of a logic-based affair that has players herding animals into a spaceship. Both seem to be decent games and both will cost you significant scratch, with Galactrix costing $20 and Flock! clocking in at $15.

Watch the latest episode of XBLA in Brief and see if either one piques your interest.

Download the trial version of Puzzle Quest Galactrix
