XBOX Live has invited us to a block party! and by block party I mean they have 5 new Arcade cames being unloaded on the masses next month and wanted a hip and snappy name to commemorate such a milestone. for 5 weeks we will be treated to some nice titles on Live spanning several genres so there is something for everyone.
First up is the HD remake/update to cult hit Beyond Good and Evil. Personally I have never played the game but it's niche following has been constant enough over the years to convince Ubisoft to work on an anticipated sequel. If you ask me this HD remake is a way to get new people to experience the original before the advertisement train starts rolling in for part two.
Next we have
3rd party member is Hard Corps Rising, which is a remake of the Sega Genesis title Contra: Hard Corps. It gets the fresh coat of paint that is HD graphics, keeps all the nice little power ups, and health bars! It does also seem to have a more futuristic Anime look to the game with ninja running, Akira cycles, and Dynasty Warriors style rock music! Should be a good pick up for any fan of a good Shoot'em up.
In case you hadn't had enough of it on FACEBOOK (yes... a facebook game is getting released onto XBOX Live and NO it's not Mafia Wars) Bejeweled Blitz is coming to live during the 4th week of the block party (Man..Microsoft really knows how to throw a party). You all by now should know what the hell this game is but if not it's bejeweled...for 60 seconds at a time...with power-ups... there is probably some way to load your score onto the facebook game.. moving on.
To close out the festivities we get a little
