Free Vampire Rain and Project Sylpheed content

Just put onto the XBLM this morning is some free in-game content for both Vampire Rain and Project Sylpheed. The free content includes a new bonus level for Vampire Rain and six new missions, six new weapons and Xbox Live leaderboard support for Project Sylpheed. But, as of this posting, the free Project Sylpheed content has been pulled from the Marketplace due to a "technical problem", but we expect it to be up rather soonish.

In summary, if you're unlucky enough to own Vampire Rain then give the the free mission a download. If you're a Project Sylpheed owner, be patient because your free content will be back up someday.

Project Sylpheed locks on July 10th; costs $39.99

If you've gotten your hands on the Project Sylpheed demo that dropped earlier today, you may be happy to hear that the release date is less than a month away. Mark your calendars, as it'll be heading towards store shelves on July 10th. Also, the MSRP is a nice $39.99, which is interesting. Hopefully that's not going to strike gamers as an indication of the quality or quantity of content in the game. If you played the demo, do you think a forty dollar price point fits the bill?

Project Sylpheed demo warps onto Live

"Okay, outer space shooting games for the Xbox 360, raise your hand. What ... no one? Not one outer space shooting game? Wait, you there, in the back, what's your name? Project Slip ... sliph ... Sylpheed? What does that even mean?"

Yes, the space shooter is somewhat underrepresented on the Xbox 360 (along with platformers and RPGs). Thankfully, Microsoft has decided to rectify that situation by bringing the Game Arts developed title, Project Sylpheed to American shores (published by Square Enix in Japan). As such, Microsoft has deemed it worthy to release a demo on Xbox Live Marketplace. We don't know much about the game, other than the fact that it does indeed involve shooting things in space. The demo clocks in at just over 600MB and is available now. Has anyone managed to take it for a spin yet?

Shane Kim: Sylpheed to be MS published in US

After seeing our article speculating that Square-Enix's Project Sylpheed would be published by Microsoft in the U.S., Spencer from Siliconera dropped us a line. He informs us that he pulled Microsoft Game Studios' Shane Kim aside during the blogger's breakfast at GDC. Spencer then asked about Project Sylpheed. Kim informed him that Slypheed is coming to the U.S. and that it is being published by Microsoft as a second party title. The deal is similar to Microsoft's publishing arrangement for Tenchu Z. So there you have it, expect to see a Microsoft published Project Sylpheed sometime this year.

MS publishing Project Sylpheed in US?

A recent retail rumor roundup on GameSpot sees a listing for Square Enix's Project Sylpheed on GameStop. While that in itself isn't terribly shocking, the publisher and developer listed is intriguing. According to the GameStop listing, Microsoft Game Studios is the publisher and developer of the US version of Project Sylpheed (although the GameStop listing spells the title Silpheed). The game is listed for a July release with a bargain price of $39.99. Granted, product listings should never be taken as fact, but it would be significant if Microsoft reached a publishing deal with Square-Enix, especially in light of recent events.

Could Square really be cozying up to Microsoft?

Today's TGS Marketplace content

The first batch of Marketplace content has (mostly) gone live. For your downloading pleasure, the following is now available.

DOA X2 E3 Trailer (Japan)
Project Sylpheed Trailer (Japan)
Tenchu Senran Trailer
Half-Life 2 - Episode 2 Trailer
TGS Picture Pack
Tenchu Senran Demo (Japan)

There are also map packs available for BFMEII, though one of them -- Aragorn's Journey -- is supposed to be free, it's not working correctly right now. Don't download it or you will be charged. The other pack -- Northern Badlands -- is not supposed to be free so, you can grab it for 350 MS Points if you want. Also, as of this writing, the Half-Life 2 - Episode 2 trailer doesn't seem to be up.

We're not really sure if this counts as TGS content, but several XBLA games have been updated to take advantage of the Vision camera.
