17 days seems an odd amount of time for free trial though

It is an odd amount - but then the full thing will be launching fairly soon anyway. Goodness ahoy! Heres hoping the peer review chunk works as it should.

This is by Gearbox, so chances of it being well above average are high.

The Aliens Legacy forums are well aware of that game.

Whoever took the pics of the magazine needs to learn how to use a camera.

Not convinced on the first shot being in-game, but will wait and see.

That's 800 of Sickboy's spare points spent, then.

Ah man that looks great. Out of interest are any of the Atlus/Cave shooters coming to XBLA?

Not as far as I know. Ikaruga is the only other shooter I know about coming to XBLA.

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is looking interesting. Puzzle Quest gameplay this time set in space and with a Hexic twist?



Prepare to be addicted again.

[chub]

Oh yes. As I understand it, the blocks will 'fall' in six directions instead of just one as in the original. I've bought Puzzle Quest twice so far, as I played the XBLA one first, got addicted, then bought the DS one and played that even more. If this new one ends up being good, I might just go straight for the DS version.

Definately looks very hexic-ish.

[Flabio]

It still plays like Puzzle Quest, only instead of falling down the blocks 'fall' in one of six directions depending on which way you've swapped the gems.

No PSP version though, which seems odd, as that would probably be my version of choice.

Trigger Heart Exelica is just your average Japanese bullet hell shooter - thought it felt horribly dated with well below average visuals and audio, the relatively tiny vertical play badly needed optimising for widescreen or the game rethinking, the grab gimmick is just that, a gimmick, and let's be honest bullet hell is just shit and dated anyway. Wouldn't even consider buying this.

Thought the HD trailer for Bionic Commando looked excellent though, looking forward to that.

[Flabio]

Yeah, when I played it on partnernet it seemed like a below average bullet hell shooter. And I hate bullet hell shooters.

Has some rather nice 16-bit era chipmusic though, reminded me a bit of the music to Turrican 2 on the Amiga.
