Indie XBLA Release… Vagueries

By: Derek Yu

On: February 22nd, 2008

Braid, by Jonathan Blow, is slated for a Spring release.

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, by Hothead Studios, is slated for a Spring release. Be sure to check out the three gameplay trailers from January, if you haven’t already.

Castle Crashers, by The Behemoth, is slated for a Summer release.

This information was revealed in a Microsoft press release following their keynote. It’s really more of an excuse to post more screenshots. I want to play all of these games very badly.

A game based on the shittiest webcomic ever… sounds like a lot of fun

Obviously, Julius, you have not read a lot of webcomics, because most comics about gaming are so damn horrible they make PA look like heaven.

comics about games are just as good as movies about games.
Julius

As a fact Lorne Whiting, 99.9% of all gaming webcomics are pure shit.

00.1% seems too high. :u

I get sad when a regular webcomic so much as mentions vidyagames.

But seriously, the PA game makes me want to cry with the extreme amount of pure failure being radiated from it.

Castle Crashers = Hooray!

I’m not the biggest fan of Penny Arcade, but just the fact you can create your own character and it appears in their 2D style is worth a couple of points in my book.

And seconding the Hooray for Castle Crashers. It seems like that game’s been coming out forever.

Braid looks damn pretty.

I can’t wait to get my hands on that racist piece of equipment.
