Miner Wars

Keen Software House

Autumn 2009

Miner Wars is a 6DOF underground and space shooter played in a fully destructible environment and is a combination of single player story game and MMO. As a player, you operate an advanced mining ship in an open world asteroid belt area. You dig kilometers of tunnels, harvest the ore, travel the solar system, fight your enemies and discover mysterious alien secrets. Game play is led by an epic story and is a combination of a single/multi-player game, cooperative, or you against everyone.

The story will introduce you to many types of missions: rescue, exploration, revenge, base defense, theft, transportation, stealth, search and destroy, pure harvesting, racing or just flying around and destroying everything you see.

Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad (39)

Tamsoft, D3 Publisher

February 10 US, February 27 EU

Evil crawls the night, and only a super-hot vixen in a string bikini and a cowboy hat can slaughter the undead to save us all! Take on the role of Aya or her little sister Saki, both of whom will need to put their legendary samurai skills to the test in order to battle legions of zombies terrorizing their city. Armed with only their swords and their beauty, these deadly sisters will stop at nothing to rid their home of the zombie threat. Every person they meet and enemy they battle gets them closer to understanding who or what is behind this zombie outbreak and putting an end to it. Babes, bikinis, zombies and swords ... who could ask for more!

Thanks matt247 and dsister44. Thanks MonstaMack, the Wii version is indeed different.

Add Bubble Bobble Neo







Look, if you've never played Bubble Bobble before, you need to. It may be one of the cutesiest games ever created by man, but it's also one of the best co-op action games of all time. Regardless of your level of fondness for the series, you should know that Taito has announced (translation) that Bubble Bobble Neo will be arriving on Xbox Live Arcade on August 5, which appropriately coincides with the release of TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, another retro remake. As Siliconera notes, August 5 may be the date for Japan only, but almost all XBLA games have simultaneous worldwide releases.



The game will be priced at 800 ($10). If Neo is anything like the recently released Bubble Bobble Plus on WiiWare (we're guessing it's nearly identical), then we can tell you it's worth every penny. As for the planned DLC, we'll wait and see.

Great list
another great number of years for the 360

Stoked, which has the highest Metacritic score of any advanced-generation snowboarding game, is now faster, bigger, easier to control, and even more gorgeous in Stoked: Big Air Edition. New features include racing, marked trails that make it easy to find great runs, lots of park objects to use for tricks, two new mountains, better visuals, and faster and smoother riding. Stoked: Big Air Edition is priced at $39.99 and will be released exclusively for the Xbox 360 videogame system from Microsoft® on November 24, 2009.

Stoked gives players physical control of their rider through the analog sticks, which eliminates the need for players to memorize combos and gives them the ability to craft their own riding and trick styles. As players complete challenges and win events with style, they gain sponsorships, gear, and clothing from over 30 real-world brands, like Burton, Libtech, Volcom, Dakine, Nikita, and Quicksilver, and they gain profiles of their exploits in leading snowboarding magazines, such as Snowboard Magazine.

Stoked: Big Air also introduces racing for both single-player and multiplayer modes. Three types of races are included: Head to Head Through Gates, Pack Racing Through Gates, and Freestyle First to the Bottom (multiplayer only).

Players can ride with Pros in the Pro Challenges, in which they match the moves of seven different Pros, including Travis Rice, Gigi Ruf, Nicolas Muller, and Annie Boulanger. Or, they can also race against any of the Pros.

Stoked: Big Air features seamless drop-in, drop-out multiplayer. At any time, anywhere, on any mountain, players can instantly choose to free-ride with a posse of up to seven friends, or challenge them in a variety of competitive riding activities.

In addition to racing, players can compete in a variety of Big Air and Grind-fest events, compete on behalf of their sponsor to take control of a mountain in the Battle of the Brands, ride for media exposure, build a scrapbook of pictorial exploits, free-ride the mountain for high scores, and complete a variety of technical trick challenges.

Key new features in Stoked: Big Air include:

Racing
Race against the world's top riders in single-player mode, or race online against up to seven other players via Xbox LIVE®. Depending on race type, you can race through gates or carve your own route fastest to the bottom.

Marked Trails
Stoked: Big Air makes it easy to find great runs on every mountain. Each mountain includes eight runs with marked and groomed trails, lots of park objects to trick off and on-screen highlighting of kickers and jumps.

Park Objects
Besides marked trails filled with lots of park objects, many mountains also have park objects spread throughout the wild.

Two New Mountains
Stoked: Big Air includes all five mountains from the original Stoked, plus two new mountains: Laax and K2. Together, these seven mountains give players over 500 square miles to explore. While every mountain has marked and groomed trails, players can also fly their helicopter to carve their own lines anywhere on any mountain.

Smoother and Faster Riding
We've tweaked all aspects of riding, from camera angles to animations to the sensitivity of the controls, and we've made Stoked: Big Air even faster, with even more Big Air opportunities.

Gorgeous Visuals
Stoked: Big Air is now even more gorgeous, with a new lighting model, post effects, fog, upgraded particle effects, and more.

Two New Pros
Gigi Ruf and Romain de Marchi join Travis Rice, Nicolas Muller, Wolle Nyvelt, Annie Boulanger, and Tadashi Fuse.

Stoked: Big Air Edition is being developed by the Austrian snowboarding enthusiasts at Bongfish GmbH.

Players can be sponsored by the following gear and clothing brands: ANON, ARCUS, BILLABONG, BLUE TOMATO, BONFIRE, BURTON, DAKINE, DRAGON, DRAKE, ELECTRIC, ELEVEN, HART, LIBTECH, NEFF, NIKITA, NITRO, NORTHWAVE, PROTEC, OAKLEY, QUIKSILVER, RAIDEN, R.E.D., RIDE, ROME, ROXY, SALOMON, TECHNINE, VANS, VOLCOM, and VONZIPPER.

Film companies and snowboarding publications in the game include ABSINTHE-FILMS, SNOWBOARD MAGAZINE, METHOD MAGAZINE, SNOWBOARD CANADA MAGAZINE, HUCK MAGAZINE, and ONBOARD MAGAZINE.

Good List
