Jet Set Radio Hits XBLA

Image
One of my absolute favorite games for the Dreamcast was Jet Grind Radio .  Originally released in 2000, the game was groundbreaking with its use of cel-shaded graphics and revolutionary gameplay.  The game has been revitalized and given a facelift to transition to the HD era of games.  It's definitely not the prettiest thing to look at, but it's just as much fun as I remember.  Join me in this fun trip down memory lane.  It's on XLBA for 800MS Points ($10).

City of Heroes Freedom to Shut Down

Image
Earlier today, Paragon Studios' Community Manager, Andy Belford, made a post of the City of Heroes  site that Paragon Studios will be closing.  This decision comes from NC Soft "in a realignment of company focus and publishing support".  As such, all subscription billing and Paragon Market purchasing have been discontinued.  He goes on to say "I implore you all, fovus on the good things of CoH and Paragon Studios.  Don't dwell on the "how" or the "why", but rather join us in celebrating the legacy of an amazing partnership between players and the development team." City of Heroes  was launched in North America on April 27, 2004.  Over the course of its eight year run, there have been 23 free updates and two major expansions released.  It was my first MMO and I met @Shaihulude because of it.  I spent plenty of hours bringing down the forces of evil and just hanging out during the many incredible holiday events.

Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel

It's been a while since we've heard anything about Army of Two .  The last entry in the series, The 40th Day , was less than stellar and fans' hope for a continuation of the series was understandably low.  Since then, Dead Space  developer, Visceral Games, have picked up the series. They promise a more mature and darker story-line revolving around new characters, Alpha and Bravo.  Visceral Games won me over long ago with the first Dead Space , so I'm confident in their ability to give Army of Two  the treatment it deserves.
