Just reviewed it for UnnamedGaming.com

He sees you

If there is a genre that MS has almost ignored(Banjo port doesn’t count) it’s platformers. MS has certainly not turned down any opportunity, that I am aware of, to provide gamers with twin-stick shooters but platformers are few and far between on XBLA. It is for that reason that I am looking forward to trying The Maw(developed by Twisted Pixel). You control an alien named Frank who is armed with a leash device of some sort and must attempt to guide the Maw through levels. The Maw is a cyclopsed blob-like creature. Sounds intersting doesn’t it? Sounds like a downloadble game for the other two current gen systems, doesn’t it? All the more reason to look out for it on Jan 21st.

This one takes me back to the time when a popular genre consisted of gameplay where you walkedto the right and hit things. Castle Crashers is a lot of fun and well worth the 1200 MS points. Although the online portion is buggy I still had some good games. Bottom Line: Good Buy

I know I am late but here it is.

They’re coming:

• July 30: Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

• August 6: Braid

•  August 13: Bionic Commando: Rearmed

• August 20: Galaga Legions

• August 27: Castle Crashers

As exciting as all this is one can’t help but wonder will we be returning to Double D Dodgeball status in September? Why should I care? There is plenty of gaming goodness in August for us to forgive a lackluster September.

Gaming Goodness Coming next week, $80 worth. Bionic Commando has not been confirmed for the US but if the Japanese release date is the 31st, it’s a safe bet that we’ll get it too. I will have a lot of reviews to do next week.
