Videogame News of the Day So Far (Splosion Man out this week, Xbox Live Update Preview, Map Pack 3 Announced for World at War)
SUMMER OF ARCADE 2009
Splosion Man kicks off the summer of arcade this week with a, well, explosion! The Creators of the Maw are back with another cool looking Arcade game:
"Fools they were, to tread where knowledge should stay forbidden. For what emerged was not a man—it was Splosion Man™. "And all who saw him were 'sploded, for he was the fire and they were but meat." Able to 'splode himself at will, Splosion Man launches his way through levels, an uncontainable force. From Twisted Pixel Games, developer of the award-winning The Maw, comes a single- or co-op multiplayer experience that 'splodes like no other."
