Live Arcade Wednesday - 'Splosion Man

[Queasy]

Now this is what I want to see in games. Unlocakable themes, gamerpics, and avatar accessories. I like it much better when this stuff is added as extras to games (especially the avatar accessories).

Looking forward to this--it looks like a lot of fun.

I just played this for a bit. Got to level 14 or so. I like it, it is a nice change of pace from the games I usually play. Nothing too complicated yet, but I'm sure there will be some challenges in the higher levels.

I played the trial last night and then immediately purchased the full game. Played for about an hour or so and completed the first chapter (took me too long to figure out how to defeat the 1-16 boss 😱). This is a great, straightforward side-scrolling platformer / puzzle game. Definitely worth checking out the demo. I don't own many XBLA games but this is now one of them.

Heh, I know what ya mean. I came back to it last night and got to level 2-4 or 2-5. But yeah, that boss was annoying for a bit. Then once I figured out how to do it, he flicked me off the level. :/

He and Trojan Man really know how to party.

And it sounds like something I should just get/play.

Funny you should mention that, as I had the Trojan Man jingle in my head yesterday but instead I was imagining it as "SPLOSION MAN!"
