This amazing shockwave implementation of a first person shooter aims to be similar to Quake III or Unreal Tournament. The graphics are comparable to Counter-Strike but the gameplay is a little more fast paced. This game allows the player to challange others online.
Looks like someone sent out the press release a day early:
‘Frogger’, ‘Galaga’, ‘Street Fighter II’ Hyper Fighting’, and Pac-Man make their next-gen debut on Wednesday’s this summer – bringing exciting new retro content to Xbox 360 gamers worldwide
Today, Xbox Live unveils Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays, a new program that will provide a regular launch schedule of new Xbox Live Arcade games for gamers worldwide. Starting today, Xbox Live Arcade games will now go live worldwide on Wednesdays at 0800 GMT (Midnight Pacific) – hitting gamers around the world all on the same day.
Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays kicks off with a blockbuster summer schedule of eagerly anticipated retro titles. Gamers looking for a blast from the past can download ‘Frogger’ – the beloved Konami classic arcade title – today on Xbox Live Arcade. Other Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays titles debuting in the coming weeks include ‘Cloning Clyde’, ‘Street Fighter II’ Hyper Fighting,’ ‘Galaga’ and ‘Pac-Man.’ To date, Xbox 360 gamers have downloaded more than 5 million Xbox Live Arcade games and the release schedule sizzles all summer long, with the following titles arriving on Xbox Live Arcade:
July 12 – Frogger
July 19 – Cloning Clyde
July 26 – Galaga
August 2 – Street Fighter II’ Hyper Fighting
August 9 – Pac-Man
The only one on that list that I know I am buying is SFII. I wish Mortal Kombat and RoboBlitz were on that list.
Spending so much time on Xbox Live Arcade lately makes me think of all those old classic NES (and Genesis) games. Xbox Live arcade offers some great classic games on there, but the Wii is going to offer a ton of old Nintendo games. Heck, being able to play most of Nintendo’s old games is reason enough to buy the Wii. Think of all of those amazing NES games like Super Mario Bros. 3 and Star Tropics. There were so many amazing games back then. Of course not all of them were amazing. In fact some of them were pretty awful. Let’s hope we won’t be seeing games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles anytime soon:
Xbox Live Arcade has to be one of the greatest things ever invented. Today I have spent hours with a friend playing various XBL Arcade games. The system is just so well done. I just love how easy it is to browse the available games, download a demo, play the demo, and then buy the game if I like it. The library of games in the arcade is pretty good. I have been playing Marble Blast Ultra, Uno, and Geometry Wars quite a bit lately. All of those games are just so incredibly addicting even though they are so simple. With games on the way like Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Sonic, and RoboBlitz I am sure I will continue to get a lot of use out of the Live Arcade.
So I have been updating my site for the past few days and made some pretty nice changes. The first thing I did was upgrade the flash video player that I use. Besides looking a little bit different, it now has a volume control on it. Then I added ajax comments which allows users to post comments quickly without leaving or refreshing the page. Last I set up inline ajax comments which display inline comments on the main page using ajax. That one took a while to get working since I had to edit a few pages of php code to get it to behave the way I wanted it to and to get it to display on all pages. If you find any bugs please let me know.
