XBLA Wednesday: Triggerheart Exelica

Shafnitz — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 22:14:07 +0000

This week’s XBLA release is Triggerheart Exelica, which is apparently a remake of a classic Japanese arcade game. Never heard of it myself, but I’m sure someone out there has been waiting for this game. From the media release:

“Triggerheart Exelica” on Xbox LIVE Arcade is an upgraded version of the original Japanese arcade game and allows players to take down or trap and toss enemies by controlling humanoid weapons systems known as Triggerhearts. Players will enjoy the smallest and newest model of Triggerhearts, which feature the perfect blend of artificial intelligence and an imposing arsenal. They are the ultimate weapon against the mysterious enemy ships of the Ver’mith! “Triggerheart Exelica” also features five stages of enhanced graphics, BGM sound tracks, three difficulty levels and a “Variable Boss Attack System,” which adjusts the difficulty level to match player’s skills.

Long anticipated N+ is finally coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wendesday for 800 points. Metanet Software has announced via their website that they have received approval from Microsoft and can now officially confirm the game’s release date.

Also available are some gamerpic packs, which Metanet is quick to point out will not be free, much to their admitted frustration.

Dark Messiah: Elements Demo on Xbox Live

Shafnitz — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:45:47 +0000

For a game I haven’t really heard much about, all of a sudden there’s a demo. I saw a couple of their teaser videos a while back, but they didn’t really do anything for me. However, I’ll give any game a chance if there’s a free demo.
