Prince of Persia releasing on 13th June for 800 points

OOOOoo... I just realized something.. the game is rated 16+ so I'm guessing that's more or less an M rating..

GOOD!!!

Cause it wouldn't be Prince Of Persia without....

THE JAWS OF DEATHHHHHHH!!!!

PoP vets should know what I'm talking about.

Not really a fan of POP because last time when i was kid, the game is too hard for me!!!!

Anyway...this game however, is what i will be waiting for!! Band of Bugs, from the creator of Outpost Kaloki X (one of my favourite XBLA)

Band of bugs is one of the quality XBLA I am looking forward too after POP and Bomberman! For more details of Ninjabee and Band Of Bugs click on Lunarduality Blog, its very informative and with a candid view Ninjabee's work culture from another Xbox360 gamer.

As for POP, I believe they have simplified the game with save points at all levels and you even get an optional butterfly guide to show you where to go. Hopefully it will reduce the frustration level and make it friendlier to a wider audience!

Anyway I liked the original game which took me a couple of weeks to finish, which is long for a supposedly 1 hour game, hopefully this update will bring back fond memories. I will definitely post a full review instead of just a rating, once I finish it.

I would just like to say one thing about POP.

WHERE THE FLYING @%$@#$* IS MY @#$@# GORE!!!???
Mother %@$#@$@#$ when I jump between the jaws of death I expect to be disembowled, I expect my self to be split along the appropraite sector which the blades cut through and then I expect to see FRESH blood taint the blades, instead I get this shit... my body is just thumped around instead, like some lazy servant boy didn't bother sharpening all the blades in the dungeon so instead of slicing they just blundgeon people to death!

Other things..

I hate the fighting system! In PoP original, every press is instanteous, in PoP classic your key presses are buffered.. so if you press attack,block, attack, attack. The prince goes through all the motions.. the block doesn't seem to work well as a cancel button. And it's VERY hard to switch positions with the enemy!

And I think the opponent cheats!

Anyway cool things about the game.. the hidden moves..
- You can jump to a ledge diagonally above and away from you
- You can jump back off the wall to climb platforms faster.
- run towards an enemy WITHOUT drawing your sword, press attack and the prince will draw his sword, and do a jumping attack into the fray!

Band of Bugs on XBLA this Wednesday
yay baby...Ninja Bee's Outpost Kaloki are the only arcade game that i spend alot of time on. I think it will be the same for Band of Bugs. I like strategy oriented game

Btw, the two 'demo' games i normally show t friends are GOW and Cloning Clyde... surprise surprise sometimes cloning clyde gets more playtime! Hehe we auditors are a funny lot

Oops, i left out Cloning Clyde.

In other Arcade news, Carcassonne will be released today for 800 MS Points hopefully it will be as good, if not better than Catan.

Oh Band of Bugs was good simple fun for me too, my only gripe is that its a bit too easy (achieved 200pts already too) . I have always favoured turn based over rts. Maybe I should sent an invite to PJ for a challenge and find out who is the better bug ha ha ha.

After so long.... I finally got........










GEOMETRY WARS!

Anyone downloaded the Lumines Booster pack? Is it worth it?

Haha.. welcome new GW pilot!!

I really suck in GW!!! arghh for the longest of time i cant even break the 100k mark..sigh..

Hope they nail the gameplay part! Look interesting...
