I am debating buying Puzzle Quest. But judging by how 'Lucky' the CPU is at times I have a feeling this game can be filled with frustration.

You will figure out how to take out the CPU in a few turns....

Step 1: Buy all the "gain back +5 health every turn" items.

Step 2: ?????

Step 3: Total victory.

I'm sure most of you have already heard about the SF2 HD beta coming out with Commando 3 (I forgot its new name) but now Capcom is bringing out a new 1942!

1942: Joint Strike coming soon to xbla (and psn)


Looks good!

I don't know who Backbone Entertainment is, but that does look good.

Oh shit! That looks to be the jam.

Now I just need Feeding Frenzy 2 and Ikaruga to come out and I'm all set.

AW FUCK!

I didn't want to buy another XBLA game until SF:HD was released but fuck I loved/hated this game as a kid. I used to call my brother's godfather to help me beat some parts in this game when I was super young. There's no way that I'll be able to say no to this game. I mean how can they really fuck this up?

Please don't say something like that.

That article is misleading. Backbone is an umbrella with several developers under it. Their quality ranges from Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix to Bomberman Live and Shrek-and-Roll.

Which one did this game?

*Edit: Assault Heroes 2 is also coming this spring.

Confirming an earlier ESRB listing, Sierra Online has announced a sequel to its popular top-down arcade shooter, Assault Heroes. Promising to "expand its horizons into outer space," Assault Heroes 2 will feature cooperative gameplay, hi-jackable enemy vehicles and, by the looks of things, at least one robot mammoth. We rather like those.

Developed by Wanako Studios, Assault Heroes 2 is scheduled to arrive on Xbox Live Arcade this Spring. Be sure to check out IGN's preview for further details.

I dug Assault Heroes so I'm interested in the sequel for sure. I only didn't care for the slow scrolling and the music which was barely there anyways. Pump up the tunes for the sequel please.

[Rumpy]

Oh man, 1942 was one of my favorite games as a kid! Count me in for the remake.
