New games. New ways to play!
There are few irrefutable truths in life, but here’s one: You can never have too much of a good thing – particularly when it’s brilliant new games for the Xbox 360 and exciting new ways to enjoy them.
Take Joy Ride for instance – and don’t call it a conventional racing game either; it’s a full-on wild-driving community experience! It’s totally free to download too, and lets you and your mates race in competition or co-operation or show off your crazy skills in the stunt park. Add to that customisable cars, unlockable extras and premium Game Add-ons, such as new cars, tracks and cool gameplay modes. Very tasty.
Meanwhile Shadow Complex, from fabled developers Epic Games Inc. is an old-school side-scrolling blaster with a very compelling twist – gameplay and graphics created using the legendary Unreal Engine 3. That’s the same technical wizardry that powers the action in Gears of War 2. With collectible power-ups, devastating weapons and evolving abilities you’ll become a force of destruction, as you wander lands inspired by Orson Scott Card’s novel, “Empire”.
Summer of Arcade makes a welcome return soon too, with five long weeks of unrivalled excellence on Xbox LIVE. We’re lining up some real beauties this season, including “Trials HD,” “Splosion Man,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled,” and the spectacular vintage beat ‘em up “MARVEL™ VS. CAPCOM 2.”
Finally we offer the last word in utter convenience with Games on Demand, and the ability to download full Xbox 360 games. We’re busy amassing a library of top games from the biggest publishers, all available 24/7 and at the touch of a button. Genius!
You can bet we’ll be shouting loudly about all of the above, and more, nearer the time. In fact – cough, cough – we’re already getting a little hoarse...!
