For only 400 MSP I think Space Giraffe is a must-buy. Gotta support original content at such a low price!

Super Puzzle Fighter releases next week

Over at Capcom's online blogging space they've officially announced that Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix has passed Microsoft certification and is ready at the gate to be released next Wednesday. The XBLA game, barring any unforeseen technical issues, will be available the morning of August 29th for 800 Microsoft points and should satisfy everyone's puzzle fighting hunger. And yes, we're so loving SPFIITHDR's pink color scheme for the main screen, because it reminds us of cotton candy and happy.

About time!

[PL_ Veteran]

Updated the list :D I know it's a bit infrequently updated, but there ya go :)

[neoadorable]

thx pure.

not sure about minter's efforts lately...yes indeed we need to support XBL, MS and the industry as a whole, but this game simply doesn't float my boat. price is right tho.

[PL_ Veteran]

Space Giraffe is awe-inspiring stuff. It's a mix of so many feelings at once :|

Looks like a great one to play when you're drunk :laugh:

[neoadorable]

maybe will give it a whirl...to be honest minter used to scare me when i was a kid in the 80's.

[PabUK Veteran]

Lol, did you have nightmares about llamas and such? :D

You should really give the game a go (well, a few goes) as it takes a while to get into. After that it's pretty good fun, and a steal at 400 points.

has wing commander arena had it multiplayer support reduced from 16 to 8? maybe i remember wrong but i thought when it was first listed it cliamed to be the first xbla game to support 16 players but now the description says upto 8 players only.

also anyone have a date/price for war world? that game looks quite interesting

[neoadorable]

PabUK: no i meant the guy himself! no offense if he's reading this, but that look of his in the 80's...creepy. does he still look like that?

and decided not to get Space Giraffe. Tempest 2000 was one of the most annoying games ever, as was Geometry Wars!

EDIT: and will echo please go online, way i look at it i'm like an hour of Condemned away from catching up to you.
