What a strange game. Despite reading universal praise and several reviews, it's still tough to figure out what exactly Journey is. Most of the elements of the actual game stuff do not seem to be very impressive, yet once again, everyone loves it. So it's about emotion, the question is, will you be drawn it? $15 for a mere hour seems like a lot but HEY we'll see I suppose. I pretty much have to buy it at this point.
Shoot Many Robots XBLA/PSN $10 (800 MSP)
2D shooter with a borderlands vibe. Doesn't look great to me but WE'LL SEE.
Defenders of Ardania XBLA $15
They must have a lot of confidence in this tower defense game to release it for $15. The big twist is apparently you can be on offense too, but no good way to tell from trailers if it'll be fun
------------also "Warp" is coming out to PSN this week from XBLA. Here is my review if you are interested.
-Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team, Torchlight, The Baconing, and Dungeons and Dragons; Daggerdale all 50% off -Looks like almost every Konami dlable game is 50% off also.
Microsoft will allegedly raise the Gamerscore and number of Achievements allowed for Xbox Live Arcade titles shortly. Xbox360Achievements.org reports, via an inside source, the base Gamerscore allotment will be raised from 200 to 400, with a max of 30 Achievements available per title instead of 20. Downloadable content will also receive more flexibility, doubling the potential Gamerscore procurement to 100, with up to eight Achievements allowed per quarter, with a max of four packs allowed over time.
The new rules will apparently go into effect between April 1 and May 31, with titles launching during that time having the option of going by either the old or new system. According to the site, all games after June 1 will be required to follow the new rules. We've contacted Microsoft for confirmation of the details.
