To go alongside this week's Xbox Live Arcade title Soltrio Solitaire, Microsoft have announced a free XBLA game. Aegis Wing was first shown a while ago and was made by three students during a summer internship at Carbonated Games (the team behind the mega popular UNO XBLA game.)
Now before you start shouting "Fantastic, We Love You Microsoft", there's some bad news. Aegis Wing will be available to North American Xbox Live users only. No Europe. No Asia. Just America.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
I guess is good to be in america, i dont really have high expectations for arcade games though, anyways its free so f%ck it
Why on earth do us Europeans never get all the theings the Americans get? We got the Ps3, wii, and 360 later (360 and wii were only a bit later i suppose, but still), and we don't get the freebies either! I don't understand it. Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't Europe the largest gaming community? Why do all the gaming companies assume they can screw us all over?
Why not Europe? That sucks!
..this does suck! I guess M$ want a turn at shafting Europeans. We pay more and get less i.e. we still haven't got Marketplace video like the US and so our perspective of Live should be different, and I bet we never get IP-TV!
However this game does sound a bit crappy and will only probably get minimal attention from people.
just make an american account, i heard you can still download it.
