X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Battlezone and Rocky and Bullwinkle

Posted Apr 19th 2008 1:00PM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: X3F TV

It might not occur to all of our readers when they see the average episode of XBLA in Brief but, let us assure you, it is a public service. We play awful, awful games so that you don't have to. Rocky and Bullwinkle is just such a game. It is -- if there can be such a thing -- the perfect storm of bad game design. The license is used horribly, the graphics aren't good, and the game employs awkward (and unresponsive) vision camera controls. The misuse of the Rocky and Bullwinkle license is perhaps the worst offense. We hate to see a classic cartoon turned into something this awful.

Check out our video of us checking out Rocky and Bullwinkle (along with Battlezone) and be glad it wasn't you.

Available today (Wednesday or what we like to refer to as hump day) on the Xbox Live Arcade are two brand new games for you to try and possibly buy. First up is Atari's 400 Microsoft point remade classic Battlezone, which comes complete with a graphical overhaul, Xbox Live multiplayer support and so much nostalgia it'll make you get teary eyed. Also joining Battlezone on the XBLA today is the 800 Microsoft point Rocky and Bullwinkle that includes over 100 "micro-games" to enjoy with up to twelve players who can join the fun locally in the game's Hot Seat mode. Have a happy XBLA hump day!

Rocky & Bullwinkle and Battlezone this XBLA Wed.

Heads up XBLA fanboys, there's moose, squirrel and retro tank action headed to the Arcade this week with the release of both Rocky and Bullwinkle and Battlezone this Wednesday, April 16th.

For 800 Microsoft points, you can own a piece of cartoon history with Rocky and Bullwinkle, which was actually confirmed for release by Zen Studios a while back. There's a slight chance casual gamers will enjoy what moose and squirrel have to offer, but for us, we're thinking not so much. Who knows though, it could end up becoming an arcade classic. Speaking of classics, the 400 MS point Battlezone will also be available this Wednesday, complete with a visual overhaul, Xbox Live multiplayer functionality, Vision support and lots of neon green lines. Lots and lots of neon green lines. And while you're hear, dive into the Rocky and Bullwinkle and Battlezone screenshot galleries we embedded after the break.

ESRB reveals 3 new XBLA games

Posted Mar 5th 2008 4:00PM by Terrence Stasse

With their usual knack, the ESRB has recently released the ratings for three XBLA games that we had never heard of. The games are Battlezone, Warlords, and Lost Cities. Battlezone is an old but popular arcade game with vector 3D graphics and a first-person perspective. It was later ported to computer, where the game was incredibly different, and which is the version that Live Arcade is likely to see. Warlords is another game that shares both an arcade and computer release, only the XBLA release is likely to be the arcade version. Lost Cities on the other hand, is completely different from the other two. Lost Cities was originally a two player card game revolving around doing, (what else?) exploring lost cities. While it's always great to see new games on XBLA, these three games aren't exactly new, as all of them existed in some form or another, and it does make one wonder what will happen to original XBLA titles if if games like these can prove to be money-makers ....

Atari games on XBLA, holiday titles confirmed

Alongside the press release for Contra hitting XBLA, Microsoft sent another press release outlining a slew of Atari classics heading to Live Arcade next year. The six Atari games to be released are:

Centipede/Millipede
Battlezone
Asteroids/Asteroids Deluxe
Missile Command
Tempest
Warlords

All of the games will feature both original and "evolved" versions. The evolved versions, similar to Konami's offerings, will feature revamped graphics and sound. All games will have leaderboards and achievements, and multiplayer games will have Live support. Surprisingly, many of these games are receiving some pretty impressive new features, including Live Vision support for Battlezone and Warlords. It looks like many of the games will receive three dimensional upgrades instead of simply using high definition sprites, too. Finally, and this is not a joke, Centipede evolved has motion blur. Motion. Blur. In Centipede. If that's not worth $5, we don't know what is.

Also worth mentioning, the press release confirmed that the following titles should hit the Arcade before the end of 2006:

Small Arms
Assault Heroes
Novadrome (?)
Heavy Weapon
Defender

It should be noted that this isn't necessarily all the titles we'll be seeing by year's end (we're looking at you RoboBlitz). Full press release after the break.
