For XBLA, ‘Splosion Man looks great. Plus, it’s tons of fun
When I was a kid, I was super into competitive multiplayer games. The sound of the modem buzz became an all too familiar sound as I went head to head with my friends in Doom, Heretic, and even Descent. These days, I don’t have the time to play super competitively, so although I still enjoy a good deathmatch, I’m much more interested in cooperative games these days. In a perfect storm of gaming nirvana, a good friend from the other side of the modem was in town visiting the week after I downloaded ‘Splosion Man, the latest Twisted Pixel offering on XBLA. Over the course of three days, we managed to finish the cooperative version of the game without alienating our wife and girlfriend, and partook in one of the most enjoyable cooperative experiences out there.
