Splosion Man on XBLA tomorrow News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

21 July, 2009

Microsoft has reminded us that following a Summer of Arcade switcheroo, it's Splosion Man that's due out on Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow, 22nd July.

It will cost 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60), and stars a man who blows himself up to conquer 50 single-player levels and 50 multiplayer ones. Check out the gamepage for more, including a trailer.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-shelled, which had been due out tomorrow, will now be released on 5th August instead.

Elsewhere in the Summer of Arcade, there's Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on 29th July, Trials HD on 12th August (hubba) and Shadow Complex on 19th August (hubba hubba hubba). We would have brought you hands-on impressions of the latter by now, but our debug Xbox 360 has red-ringed. Boo.

Turtles, MvC2, Trials HD and Shadow Complex will also cost 1200 Microsoft Points, by the way, which is GBP 10.20 / EUR 14.40 in old money.

Look out for our review of Splosion Man as soon as possible.

Review please. Been getting great reviews elsewhere. As there is naff all out on retail, XBLA will keep things ticking over nicely.

By most reports, the game is really good. I'm definitely looking forward to it, the Maw was awesome, and I'd love to see more old school platformers like this get released on all sytems. It also comes with more gamer pics, a premium theme and is the first game to have avatar unlockables :)

Should be well worth the price, certainly more so than more ports of old fighting games.

I can't wait for Shadow Complex, I really thought it was going to be 1600 point too!

1200 for TMNT and MvC2 are no sales for me. Trials HD is a must have though. Not sure about Shadow Complex yet strangely enough...

It sounds like a Borat Movie.

Trials HD does indeed look awesome, looks to be enough content in there to warrant a purchase, even for those of us who already have Trials 2.

1200 for Turtles and Marvel vs. Capcom, which are essentially a 15 and 10 year old button masher with tarted up graphics respectively, does take the piss somewhat when a brand new 10 hour game is the same price.

But then again that's just my personal opinion and I'm extremely excited about Shadow Complex because everything points to it being the spiritual successor to the 2D Metroid games.
