Okay, it's a new week. Time to shake off September 6th's new release hangover. I trust you've all conquered each of those games as well as acquired 100% of the Achievements and Trophies. Time to move on. This week we have some fine downloadable titles, along with a Kinect title from Twisted Pixel, and a JRPG.
9.13.2011
Beat Hazard (PSN) It's a twin stick shooter that uses your music library to generate enemies and trippy background environments. You can try the demo on Steam. (2 player online co-op, 2 player local co-op)
The Gunstringer (Xbox 360) This Kinect title will test your puppeteering skills as you seek vengeance against the marionettes that did you wrong. It's full of the off-beat humor Twisted Pixel is known for. The demo is live now in the Marketplace. As an added bonus, it comes with Fruit Ninja Kinect! (2 player local co-op)
White Knight Chronicles 2 (PS3) A JRPG that promises all of the JRPG-ness you've come to expect from Level 5: airships, angst, androgyny, armor, and anime. I've watched some footage of WKC2, and while I didn't see any angst, I've sure it's in there, everything else was. It's a direct sequel to White Knight Chronicles, so I'm sure it will tie up any lose ends from the previous game. (6 player online co-op)
9.14.2011
Radiant Silvergun (XBLA) The classic shooter will finally be available to the masses. Well, it's always been available to the masses, now they won't have to drop $175 bucks to play it. (2 player local co-op, 2 player online co-op)
Renegade Ops (XBLA PSN, PC) This explosive twin stick shooter uses the Just Cause 2 engine to make highly destructible environments. It offers multiple characters, a dynamic split screen, and lots of explosions. Did I mention that there are explosions? (2 player local co-op, 4 player online co-op)
