NO MAJOR NEW RETAIL RELEASES THIS WEEK
And a happy new year….
BOOM.
OOOHHHH: ON THE DLC TIP
DEAD RISING 2: CASE WEST
Capcom
XBox Live
12/27
800 MS pts
Dead Rising‘s still not a good series, but I suppose if you were more willing to suffer through another 20 hours of broken combat system just for the joy of beating a zombie upside the head with a combination Swiffer/Chainsaw/Mrs. Field’s Frozen Cookie Dough Gun, then the idea of getting to do a few more hours in a co-op plot-tying DLC with DR1‘s Frank West and the return of the photo system might be right up your alley.
RASKULLS
Halfbrick Studios
XBox Live
12/29
800 MS pts
Basically, it’s a glorified Mr. Driller clone, with little guys that look like Sackboy’s X-Ray shooting their way around colorful maps. Anything wrong with that? Not a thing.
ROCK BAND TUESDAY
Celebrating Band On The Run Pack ($6.99/560 MS pts)
- Maybe I’m Amazed
- Band on the Run
- Helen Wheels
- Let Me Roll It X
Inhabited – Open My Eyes
Siouxsie and The Banshees – Cities in Dust X
$1.99/160 MS pts per track
X-Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansion available for 99 cents/80 MS pts
The entire pack should be a blast, but Band On The Run and Maybe I’m Amazed should be required purchases, though good luck to vocalists trying to FC that lentil soup recipe.
Cities In Dust once again reminds me I need to know a lot more about Siouxsie and the Banshees. Inhabited, however, reminds me once again that Christian rock is an oxymoron.
