Double-header for XBLA tomorrow News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

17 June, 2008

Microsoft will be offering you a new pair of Live Arcade titles tomorrow.

The first, we like to think of as an underwater Afrika. You see, in Sea Life Safari the idea is to swim around and take pictures of crabs or fish or any one of 60 aquatic beasties and then put them in a scrapbook. You can paddle around coral reefs or explore sunken ships and even follow fish to hidden treasure. Perhaps you'll discover a chest full of Microsoft Points to replace the 800 (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) you've spent on Sea Life Safari.

The other game is Elements of Destruction. This casts you as a mad scientist who has lost his job, presumably because he is mad. He can control the weather, so your goal is to use lightning, earthquakes, storms, and all sorts to bring about revenge worthy of the Count of Monte Cristo.

Elements of Destruction also costs 800 Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).

Look out for our reviews of both very soon.

Saw the first screen of Elements of Destruction and was hoping for a bit of Blast Corps like action but sadly I don't think they have much in common.

So, with Sea Life Safari are we expecting a similar experience to Endless Ocean - only without the weird, stilted (but still oddly humorous) dialogue? I picked up EO for my young 'un but I think he got a little bored with it and I 'had' to finished the game for him... Maybe this will be more bright and cheery.

That Sea Life Safari is basically the same game that comes free with some Sony Ericsson phones, only with 3D graphics.

Both of them sound rather interesting, so I'm looking forward to trying them both out.

Sealife Safari looks like it's very much aimed for younger kids, Elements of Destruction looks okayish.
