XBLA Wednesday: Two Games Again?

Filed in archive XBLA on April 24, 2007

Was it only two months ago that we had weeks with no XBLA releases at all? Truly, the times have changed, as tomorrow will mark our second week of consecutive two-game Wednesdays with the release of both Eets: Chowdown (a cool looking 2D puzzler) and pinball FX (you know, pinball? Those machines they keep in the back corner of the arcade?).

Here's some specifics:

"Eets: Chowdown"

Game Features:

120 new levels in gorgeous high definition graphics

Tons of crazy characters, including Marshomechs, Radioactive Ginseng, and Exploding Superpigs.

Marsho Madness: the crazy, adrenaline-rushing "Eets" action game, where players can play co-op to keep the impending evil marshmallows at bay

Earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points


"Pinball FX"

Game Features:

Real-time head-to-head mode for online multiplayer competition for up to 4 players

Three vibrant, 3D pinball tables

Tables start out simple, but new challenges open up as a player's skill advances

Gesture based controls and live chat via the Xbox 360 LIVE Vision Camera

Earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points

Amazing realism that is an industry first for the genre

Gesture based controls? That's right, ladies and gents -- we could be looking at the release of the Xbox 360's premier flailing-arm-controlled virtual pinball simulator. Mark your calendars.
