I haven’t tried it out yet, but Fuelcell Games and illustrator Michel Gagné have just released Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet on XBLA. It’s a non-linear action game that features up to 4-player cooperative play (local and online). The price is $15.
Apparently the game’s music (including what you hear in the trailer) is by the Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir!

A trailer for Death Party aka Shotgun Ninja II aka the sequel to my favorite cactus game.
Finally, here’s a sneak peak Erin Robinson’s Puzzle Bots, the sequel to her popular adventure game Nanobots. The game is being made in collaboration with Dave Gilbert of Wadjet Eye Games (The Shivah, The Blackwell Legacy), and also includes pixel art by Ishi (Treasure Treasure).
Some wonderful news on ITSP came out last month:
Our first round of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet demos is now completed and the reactions from all publishers were overwhelmingly positive. Not only was the esthetic of our game praised but everyone was amazed at the game play as well. Of course, our intention is not only to make a beautiful game but to create a memorable gaming experience. I’m glad this is coming through.
The demos mentioned in the quote were live demonstrations to publishers such as “Sony, Ubisoft, Microsoft and a few others” (this list of publishers is from Michel Gagné’s December 1st post on his blog).
