Best Xbox Games of 2011 – So Far

July 14, 2011 | | Xbox 360 Features

This has been a bad year so far for the Xbox, at least when compared t the first half of last year. In early 2010 games like Mass Effect 2, Bad company 2, Bayonetta and Red Dead Redemption were all released to huge critical acclaim, and massive sales. Alas, only a couple of big games this year have lived up to their hype and they’ve been multi-platform releases. Struggling to redeem our platform of choice, our Xbox team of Charles Battersby, Curtis Bloomfield and Alex Martinet look back at the best Xbox games of the first half of 2011.

Ms. Splosion Man – Review

July 13, 2011 | | Xbox 360 Reviews

Ms. Splosion Man packs a tremendous amount of fun into a downloadable ten-dollar game. Perhaps that high-pressure fun is what makes her so explosive? Actually, she’s splodey because she was developed by Twisted Pixel, the madmen behind the 2009 XBLA hit Splosion Man. The Girl Power sequel is not only better than the original game, but it will also teach you everything you need to know about women.

Dead Block Review

July 12, 2011 | | Xbox 360 Reviews

Dead
Block is set in the U.S. during the 1950s and takes place when a gallon of gas
cost a few pennies, when movies were in the “golden age” and when rock ’n
roll swept the nation and causes the decease in the walking
dead apocalypse. The campaign tells a story through a TV series, which portrays the fight for
survival of the three protagonists in several episodes. Every time you start a
new mission you get a short fifteen second intro that summarizes what you need
to do in that mission. It’s very original and I really like the approach to
this since the story isn’t the main focus. That’s a good thing because the
combat is horrible.

Ms. Splosion Man – Pink Death Awaits

July 12, 2011 | | Xbox 360 Features

Those horrible, evil scientists at Big Science are at it again. Back in 2009 they created an insane, mutated exploding man named Splosion Man, but this time around they’ve mixed sugar, spice and everything nitroglycerin to make the exploding woman called Ms. Splosion Man. Note the neo-feminist “Ms.” instead of the old-fashioned “Miss” like in Miss Pac Man. Yes, Ms. Splosion Man is one of them liberated dames, and she’ll probably blow you up if you call her a dame to her face.
