Square Enix wants you to experience Death By Cube on XBLA Jan. 20
click for screen-filling gore
In the wake contrails of 0 Day Attack on Earth's December 23 release, Square Enix has announced that its next XBLA title, Death By Cube -- also a twin-stick, multidirectional shooter -- will be the new kid on the Live Marketplace block when it arrives on January 20. Seeming to draw inspiration from arcade classics such as Robotron and Smash T.V., the Premium Agency developed title is easily the most gore-filled Square Enix release, er ... ever, pitting players against cube-shaped enemies (getting the title yet?) that just happen to explode into bloody messes when killed.
We went hands-on with the game at Tokyo Game Show 2009 and were pleasantly surprised by its smattering of unique play mechanics on top of a fairly done-to-death formula. Of course, you'll be able to judge it for yourself by downloading the trial version. If you like it, you can simply commute the demo to a full Death sentence.
