Hello to all the friendly warm and strange faces reading PlanetXbox360’s first Live Informant column. We are proud to debut our first piece in this bi-weekly series that caters specifically to Xbox Live, Xbox Live Arcade and XNA Community Games. With a plethora of games releasing every week, we’ve determined it’s best to try and squeeze as much coverage as we can of Microsoft’s online services into this column. Whether they are simply overlooked and forgotten about, we’ll try our best to provide our readers with reviews of recent released and hands-on coverage with upcoming titles.
Every week, new content hits the Microsoft’s Xbox Live that tends to fall through the cracks. So today marks the day that those unknown games finally get the attention they deserve. If you are a developer or publisher, and would like your game to receive coverage, please feel free to skip to the end of the article for contact information. Without further ado, today we have five mini-reviews of: Wallace & Gromit Episode 1, Sam & Max Save the World, The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, Banjo-Tooie and Flock. Along with that, we have three previews of titles that we had hands-on with including: TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, Diner Dash, and Sonic & Knuckles.
Along with that, we have a quick look at upcoming games for the XBLA, a short interview with Scott Corley of Wideload Games on his latest title, Texas Cheat ‘Em, a review of Fallout 3: Point Lookout, the top 10 games the week of June 29, and a glance at a title that needs to be brought to the XBLA.
