Quackshot

As watching my 4 year old daughter play Sonic & Knuckles, the well known sequal of the quite legendary Megadrive game Sonic The Hedgehog, I remembered about Quackshot.

Quackshot was perhaps one of the best games on Megadrive back then. I hope they bring that on the Xbox Live some day, it would really be worth 400 points or maybe even a little bit more.

More about Quackshot on Wikipedia

Ps. There's something really different on those old games compared to new ones, since even my soon-to-be 3 year old son picked up controls on Sonic extremely fast. Maybe some games for children should pick some hints from the oldies and utilize only one button and the stick/d-pad.

Batman, Brutal Legend, all good

Played maybe a bit too late some new demos I got from Xbox Live. But don't get me started on those graphics on the Batman... Yet again Unreal Engine shows it's powers. The level of detail is mad, especially on the characters. Playability and controls left room for some improvement, but pretty neat package overall. Looking forward to it.

Second demo I tested was a game I thought was going to be not so interesting, sort of dull perhaps. But once the opening scenes from Brutal Legend started, and finally when I got feel of the heavy metal dude, I was sold. Now that is something different. A must get.

Finally, even the Ghostbusters was pretty good, but nowhere near those first two. Funny, that I think C64's version is more scary, but they managed to build up some moments there.

And my wishlist grows.

Fable 2 Downloadable in Episodes

I just spotted from Xbox Live that Fable 2 can be downloaded in 5 episodes. That is a pretty nice idea to offer a full length game in pieces, but even when the first episode is free the pricing is way off.

4 episodes is 1120 points each, which means 13,5 euros per episode. This sums up to total of 54 euros which is almost the same price as when the game hit the stores way back. A quick browse on the game stores gave me a price of 17 euros for a brand new game, so what's the point in this?

I could pay 5 euros per episode and just keep playing right now, but price tag on the downloadable is just too much. Hope they come to senses some time in the future.
