This Wednesday: Shrek 'n Roll 'n Screwjumper 'ngage XBLA
As noted last week, this Wednesday's Xbox Live Arcade release is dodgy freefaller Screwjumper, an action game that has you plummeting down a deep, dark hole whilst avoiding slamming headfirst into harmful substances. For 800 MS Points ($10), it's the closest you'll get to experiencing Britney Spears' current career. The folks at Microsoft are also keen to highlight the fact that Screwjumper is XBLA's 100th release since the download service's inception approximately 2 years ago.Less likely to be remembered is release #99, Shrek N Roll, which promises to test "your tilting and rolling skills," along with your tolerance of the blockbuster trilogy's cast. This puzzling Shrek tie-in will set you back 800 MS Points ($10).
Screwjumper smashes XBLA November 14th
Hot on the heels of THQ revealing more info about its upcoming Xbox Live Arcade onslaught, it has been revealed that Screwjumper will be hitting the service on November 14. Along with the announcement comes the above trailer, which shows us the first gameplay footage. Developed by Frozen Codebase, the game centers around free falling down a mineshaft, plunging through and destroying as much equipment as possible as you do so. The game employs some sort of chain system, so we're guessing it's best to destroy many things in quick succession. Whatever, we say, as long as we're causing mass destruction, we're cool.
