• The Price Drop: Family Friendly Edition!

  PATIENCE PAYS OFF! Whether you passed on paying full retail, or have arrived to the party late, welcome to 'The Price Drop'. This week we have four noteworthy video game price drops to report. To kick things off, we are happy to report that the regular edition of Saints Row 2 (PS3/Xbox 360) gets a price drop of $10 to $49.99.  While Grand Theft Auto IV sold more copies, many consider Saints Row 2 to be the more 'fun' game of the two.  Saints Row 2 was developed by Volition, and published by THQ.  It initially released on October 14, 2008 and scored a respectable 81-82 on Metacritic. On a side note, apparently rapper 50 Cent is in interested in working on a 'Saints Row' movie in the future.  Perhaps this will provide Hollywood with a much needed 'video game franchise translated to movie' blockbuster?  Um no... The next price drop to report is Call of Duty: World at War for the PS3.  It is now availble for $49.99 ($10 price drop).  Interestingly enough, it is not a cross-platform price drop as all other versions are still at their original launch prices.  This fifth installment in the series was developed by Treyarch and published by Activision.  The game was released worldwide on November 11, 2008.  The PS3 version of Call of Duty: World at War scored an 85 on Metacritic. A 'family friendly' alternative to playing a pimp or slaughtering Nazi's is Scene It? Box Office Smash Bundle.  The price on the game bundle with 4 big button controllers has been dropped a healthy $20 to $39.99.  If your grandmother can't operate these big button controllers, then perhaps some peanuckle at the Moose Club is more in line. The game was developed by Krome Studios and released on October 28, 2008.  Typically these types of games don't perform well on Metacritic, but it scored a fairly respectable 75.  Finally, our last price cut to report is on Ubisoft's Far Cry 2 (PS3/Xbox 360).  Far Cry 2 is now available for $39.99 ($20 price drop).  Far Cry 2 released on October 21, 2008.  Although marketed as a true sequel to the original Far Cry, it's game play more closely resembled Grand Theft Auto's open sandbox, versus the approach of the original.   Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Far Cry 2 have a rating score of 85 on Metacritic.     Posted Thursday, February 26, 2009 1:52 PM from Cheap Xbox 360 - Gamer News | 0 Comments

• Commodore 64 Titles Highlight Wii Shop Channel Releases

  The Vic 20 had nothing on this beast! This week on the Wii Shop Channel is full of firsts....  The first FPS is available with the WiiWare title Onslaught.  In addition, the anticipated release of Commordore 64 titles makes news as three titles are released on the Virtual Console. Full Details: WiiWare Onslaught (Hudson Entertainment, 1-4 players, Rated T for Teen—Animated Blood, Violence, 1,000 Wii Points): Onslaught is an FPS that puts you in the middle of a futuristic war between humans and insectoid aliens. Become part of the Elite Interstellar Strike Force and fight against an overwhelming onslaught of alien life forms. Enjoy the rush of mowing down wave after wave of aliens with machine guns, grenades and more. Feel your heart pound as you battle gigantic boss aliens. Beyond the normal game, Onslaught includes additional modes that let you play with rivals from around the world using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Team up with as many as three other players in Free Battle mode, or compete on special maps to see who can get the most points by killing enemies before time runs out in Ranking Battle mode. (Router and broadband access required for online play. For more info, go to http://www.nintendo.com/.) Virtual Console The Last Ninja™ (Commodore 64, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older—Animated Blood, Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points): The evil Shogun Kunitoki has long envied the powers of the Ninja brotherhood and would do anything to acquire their knowledge. To this end, he has sworn an oath to their total destruction. Once every decade, all Ninja must travel to the Island of Lin Fen, where they pay homage to the Shrine of the White Ninja and receive further teachings from the Koga Scrolls. Seizing the opportunity, Kunitoki summoned forth all the spirits from the depths of the Nether World and flung their full force against the amassed Ninja. None escaped the wrath of Kunitoki. Word of this unnatural disaster soon reached Armakuni, the last Ninja. Gathering all his courage, he has sworn to wreak a terrible revenge on the Shogun and all his followers. What unforeseen hazards await him? INTERNATIONAL KARATE™ (Commodore 64, 1-2 players, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older—Mild Violence, 500 Wii Points): INTERNATIONAL KARATE is a simulation of a karate tournament in which one person can play against the computer or two players can compete against each other. During the game, you'll fly to various locations around the world. In all stages of the game, a wise old judge will watch over you and award you either a half-point or a full point, depending on how successful a hit has been. Pitstop II™ (Commodore 64, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Pitstop II was the first game that brought serious auto racing action to the computer screen—the thrill of battling an opponent, the excitement of fighting for the lead out on the track, and the suspense of struggling to be the first out of the pits. Third-person graphics and a split-screen display allow one or two players to experience the challenge of car racing head-to-head. Six of the world's toughest tracks are waiting, from Brands Hatch and its hairpin turns to the mile-long straight of Vallelunga. You can practice against the computer, but nothing will compare to the fun of racing against another person. Indeed, Pitstop II proves that car racing was never meant to be a solo sport.

• Xbox LIVE Arcade Update for Feb. 4, 2009

  R-Type Dimensions is available for download starting today on Xbox LIVE Arcade.  This updated version has both arcade classics R-Type and R-Type II overhauled with new 3-D graphics, but offers the ability to switch back to the original 2-D mode. The game supports full co-op support locally and over Xbox LIVE as well, and will set you back 1200 Microsoft Points for the full game. Full Details: We love the 80’s this month with “R-Type Dimensions” on Xbox LIVE® Arcade …sans cheesy love songs and fashion mullets Despite releasing during an era characterized by unfortunate haircuts and glam rock, 80’s arcade game “R-Type” managed to define the shooter genre – which is why Xbox LIVE is bringing this classic to our own Arcade with “R-Type Dimensions” on February 4. Coin-op classics “R-Type” and “R-Type II” come together as “R-Type Dimensions,” with original 2D and new, fully-enhanced 3D graphics. The classic game play remains untouched, while the all-new “Infinite” game mode allows even novice pilots the chance to complete both games in either solo or co-op play via Xbox LIVE. Published by Microsoft and developed by Tozai Games and SouthEnd Interactive, “R-Type Dimensions” will be available for 1200 Microsoft Points worldwide on February 4.  The game is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.  For more details on “R-Type Dimensions” please visit: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/r/rtdimensionsxboxlivearcade/default.htm Posted Wednesday, February 04, 2009 7:15 AM from Cheap Xbox 360 - NEWS | 0 Comments Filed under: Microsoft News, Xbox Originals Deals, Xbox LIVE Marketplace Deals
