Starfire Studios first game, Fusion: Genesis will be available to purchase on Xbox LIVE Arcade on November 9th for 800 points.
Starfire Studios is an Independent Development Studio set up by 4 ex-Rare industry veterans Chris Tilston, Mark Edmonds, Philip Dunne and Ross Bury. Having been key contributors on games such as Goldeneye, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark and Kameo they are now focused on bringing something hugely ambitious, innovative and unique to Xbox LIVE Arcade with their first release, Fusion: Genesis.

A handful of Indie Games kick off the show with Beep Brrp Bing Bang Bosh, Chompy Chomp Chomp, 5MinRPG, Mambo, and Rocket Narwhal. Craig rocks out with JAM: Live Music Arcade, everyone is unmoved by Dragon’s Lair, and Craig revisits some past looks with Haunt and Fusion: Genesis. Craig whips the troops into shape with the Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor demo, Jeremy gets sidetracked from Game of Thrones, Sean and Jeremy get sucked into the world of Dragon’s Dogma, and Craig and Jeremy shoot a lot of folks in Max Payne 3.
Is Fusion Genesis the start of something great?
Here is a snippet:
"With a bevy of ex-Rare devs at the helm, is "Fusion Genesis" the start of a new space opera? Part dual-joystick shooter, part Elite, part RPG, Fusion Genesis immediately struck me as being fantastically ambitious, but yet with a mostly simple core gameplay mechanic. Do all these elements stack up?"
That sounds really cool! Will check it out for sure.
