On XBLA this week: Panzer General and Tower Bloxx Deluxe screenshot

Since it seems like we gave Microsoft crap every single time a $15 Xbox LIVE Arcade game was put out — even if the game was worthy of that price — let me take this chance to say wow, there sure have been quite a few $10 releases as of late. Good show, gentlemen.

This week’s games are Panzer General: Allied Assault and Tower Bloxx Deluxe, and yup, both are going to run you 800 MS Points. The former is essentially a board/card game in the form of a turned-based strategy, while the latter, well, let me get back to you on that.

Alright. So, Tower Bloxx Deluxe was previously found on Personal computer as well as mobile phones, and like so many others, it’s ended up on XBLA. Some commenters have spoken of its addictiveness before — perhaps it’s worth watching. The same could probably said for Allied Assault, I think.

EA and Double Fine’s Brutal Legend is available in stores, but that doesn’t mean the marketing for the pseudo-RTS/open world action game is toast. In fact, there’s still one demographic — a veritable gold mine — that needs to be exploited. We’re speaking about ladies. And wouldn’t you know it? That’s the target of the above video.

Any rational woman goes gaga over Jack Black. That’s a fact. Double it whenever the man appears on camera in a robe. I bet my grandmother, if she knew what a personal was, would be absolutely all over this game now. That is, if she knew what a videogame was. Or had the capacity to remember where she put her teeth the night previous.
