Screwjumper: XBL Review gives 7.9/10

Visually the game is fun and there's always something going on around you. The game has no real need for super slick state of the art graphics but what they've given is a fun look to the game and made the layouts (be it long vertical tubes) look consistent and smooth.

The most audio you'll hear is some quiet bass music which is drowned out by the explosions of you throwing bombs and ploughing through platforms, luckily, if you really need your tunes, it's Custom Soundtrack compatible.

Castle Crasher is one of the worst games on XBLA? Is this guy on crack?

vgn244783d ago

I agree that he'd have to be on something, but maybe you should have read it. Doesn't appear that the guy said Castle Crashers was the worst.

Derekvinyard134783d ago

Castle crashers isnt even on there!!

darthv724783d ago

some of them are indie games. Yeah there are some stinkers on the indie side as there is on the regular side.

Not all indie games are bad though. Diamonds in the rough if you will.

guitarded774783d ago (Edited 4783d ago )

He/she just put the pic to get hits Raichu50 is a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!

antz11044783d ago

LOL at the total flamebait pic to get people to read,CC wasn't even on there.

Low tactic author, very low indeed.

B1663r4783d ago

He should have chosen a Yaris logo instead of Castle Crashers, because Castle Crashers is one of the best games this gen.

READ IT! The pic was meant to get attention at most, Got mine.

Neko_Mega4783d ago

Castle Crasher isn't on this list, I think this person used it to get hits.

Other then that I think I list is right on the dot, but using Castle Crasher pictue was kind of bs.

BeaRye4783d ago

How in the F is that Doritos game not on there? It's absolute garbage.

oddexarcadia4783d ago

You have to keep in mind that this is from someone who used the Castle Crasher pic to get attention for their article.

darthv724783d ago

i have the first one but never really played it. The crash course one is pretty fun though. Sort of a mix of ninja warrior and wipeout.

dash of destruction...had to think a minute. Seeing as i never played it i cant say one way or the other. It was free and for a free game that is better than Yaris it cant be all that bad.

antz11044783d ago

Dude for a free game Crash Course is pretty fun and addicting.

IDK, did Doritos have another game I didn't know about?

darthv724783d ago

crash course is the latest one with avatar support. The first one was called dash of destruction and it was some kind of trex running around breaking stuff in a top down type of view.

It might still be on xbla for free.

antz11044783d ago

I did not know that, thanks Darth!

KaBaW4783d ago (Edited 4782d ago )

I don't know of the game you are talking about.. but, if I'm not mistaken, they (Doritos) had another game, for XBLa. This game was played with four(4) teams of two players, or with bots, where one player drove a vehicle around a track in a race, using a select of 4 vehicles. The other player controlled turrets, that were placed around the track, to shoot at and destroy the contending teams vehicles or gunners. Whilst the driver tried to avoid the gunners, and to remain in first place (obviously) while picking up 'abilities.' Such abilities were that of one giving your vehicle a shield, one that upgraded your gunners turrets, one downgraded the contending gunners turrets, and one for a boost (I believe).

Fun game, I say. It's called Harm's Way. It's free.

Tikicobra4783d ago

Wow, that's the most pathetic attempt at getting views I've seen in quite a while.

4783d ago
BeaRye4783d ago

I think (at least hope) that it's a "contrast" thing meaning Castle Crashers is awesome.

ThanatosDMC4783d ago

Weirdest exclusive game on 360 that you can get for $1 is Sneak King... Burger King game and you play as a creeper.

Currently in open beta, InstantAction is a platform designed by Garage Games that is said to deliver "console quality" videogaming experiences streamed through a standard web browser.

Interesting Bethesda rumor, if true.

BloodySinner5993d ago

It will occur. Why? Because the OXM's Rumor Mole (yes, that's what it is called) rumors have all come to pass.

RadientFlux5993d ago

It's probably as simple as that Bethesda is looking 4 to 5 years down the road. MMORPG often take a long time to make and a lot of developer resources.

BloodySinner5993d ago

That's correct. Besides, when you look at The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, I believe it it took 3 years to create.

vgn245993d ago

New changes for Sam Fischer? Stop the presses.

Elder Scrolls rumor is cool, but makes me worry more that OXM thinks the 360's life span is that short. So that one is doubtful

Ghost Recon moving away from War Fighter? Wow! Again, that's an educated guess.

Sounds like Surfer Girl BS to me.

Lord Cheese5993d ago

no more graw would be a damn shame - love those games.

ukilnme5993d ago

8/10? I might have to pick this up for parties.

Saint Sony5993d ago

I bought it just because it is the first and only party game for 360. It is fun indeed, but can't say yet if there's enough questions. So far good.

AliC5993d ago

So they plan to make Sam Fisher not suck like he has in the last few games.
