IGN writes: "Peanuts and Snoopy don't quite hold the same cultural cachet that they used to. While Charlie Brown and Snoopy will always hold a place in the hearts and minds of American culture at large, they're throwbacks to a different era. Other developers have tried and failed over the years to take the Snoopy/Red Baron gag from the comic strip and make it a premise for a decent game, so when Smart Bomb announced they were revisiting the formula, no one really paid attention. Unable to secure funding for an open world Snoopy adventure, they instead stripped their idea down and focused on the aerial combat aspect of the license".
This week's VS brings you Ray vs. Lindsay!
Today starts of Microsoft Game Studio game sale on Xbox live marketplace. There are bunch of items up for sale some for 33%,or even 50% off. Below is a list of the items that are on sale, some of them are great games that most people should buy. If you didn't have a chance to snag any of these good arcade titles, some DLC, or even these avatar items now is your chance. So stock up on those Microsoft points and get your game on.
I'm not stuck up with my points. I spend them freely as I wish.
lol
Splosion man is fun so I will be getting that one.
Splosion Man, Braid, and Perfect Dark for $5 each is an awesome deal. Too bad I already own all of them.
Just picked up Perfect Dark and Splosion Man. Good time to grab the last Alan Wake DLC if you haven't already.
From the PlanetXbox360.com feature article:
"This year was a huge one for Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade game service, with hundreds of titles to choose from, including arcade games (After Burner Climax, Crazy Taxi), original titles (Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1) and some quirky ones that found their way into audiences’ hearts (Costume Quest, DeathSpank). However, only ten could find their way onto our final list of favorites for the year 2010, and after a long, painful process of elimination (Shank was THIS CLOSE!), we’ve come up with our contenders. Let the countdown commence!"
2010 could possibly be the best year in XBLA history, as far as quality new releases and remakes go....nice!
... from this list: ilomilo. It's absolutely fantastic. Easily in my top 2 XBLA games of the year, together with SMB!
@Yi Long
I believe ilomilo doesnt officially release for XBLA until Jan 5. There was a secret trial you could download back in Nov, and a Win Phone 7 game, but the official release isnt until next year.
... it wasn't just a trial you could download. You could unlock the complete game, which I've been enjoying for well over a month now I believe, so as far as I'm concerned, it's a 2010 release... :)
Fantastic list.
this is somthing that MS has excelled at and have not been given enough credit. Xbox Live is perhaps the reason why the 360 is so popular.
Would have bought the game already but I'm 100 MP short :(
Well worth the 800 MS points. The planes control very well and the multiplayer is tons of fun.
