Two games kick Live Arcade in the face this week. Scott Pilgrim vs the World: The Game (800 points) and Shank (1200) are those games, and they involve beating people up while the screen scrolls. In 2D.
Do you like punching people in the face? Then a night out in Plymouth is for you. Those who prefer digital pugilism can pick up Fatal Fury 3 for 900 points instead.
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (1200 points) shoots some endangered creatures, fits cogs into ancient machinery, swan dives and lands onto Live Arcade this week.
Summer of Arcade continues with flower arranging title Monday Night Combat (1200 points). The game pits you against the world’s deadliest florists or something.
Well, it’s Friday, and there’s actually a game for the VC. For 800 points you can grab Aero the Acrobat 2 from today. Or not, it’s entirely up to you. Make your own decisions!
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair is this week’s release for the sum of 1200 points. It’s more of the classic Dracula bashing 2D goodness, but with six player co-op and stuff. Cracking! (Sorry, couldn’t resist).
Summer of arcade is upon us again, last week we had Limbo and this week we have Hydro Thunder (both 1200 points). Next week we get Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.
There is more Ron Gilbert madness this week with co-op RPG Death Spank making its way to live (1200 points). Deadliest Warriors is also out for 800 points.
This week brings us the much anticipated release of Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck’s Revenge Special Edition. The game is a classic will set you back 800 points.
