Marking the franchise’s 25 anniversary, everyone's favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is back with a brand new look in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled.” The arcade classic has been revamped with all new 3D graphics, but the same classic beat 'em up gameplay.

August 5: Splosion Man™ 800 Microsoft Points

wow... the prices are getting higher.

eck979 · 07-09-2009, 12:04 PM

Yeah, really... Nothing for 400??? And only one for 800.

Its because they are trying to release some good games for once(I know there are some exceptions), I cant expect any game to be worth a shit if it only costs $5-10. Its a lot to ask for any dev to release a game that plays well and looks good for so cheap.

It looks like they are just testing the waters, they are now giving us a game with more incentive and longevity albeit for a higher price..

True, finally some quality XBLA titles instead of the usual shovelware. BTW Shadow Complex is looking pretty sweet.

+ YouTube Video

whats that xbla game that glitched during its e3 presentation when cliffy B was presenting, i lolled hard at that one

MikeRox · 07-10-2009, 06:37 AM

I can see 1200 points in those titles (and definitely 800 points in Splosion Man).

It's great to see XBLA getting some fantastic content more frequently (it's very overdue!)

1200 points is less than a tenner (GP£) and I'm all for the idea of 4 games like that, instead of buying a single full price game that I'll likely get bored of half way through. Now hopefully PSN will retaliate as their exclusive content has been a bit slack lately.
