Fancy Pants Adventures preview: Getting those fancy pants dirty
Fancy Pants Adventures started life as a well-received Flash game, and was on show in its downloadable XBLA/PSN incarnation at EA's "Spring Showcase" event last week in NYC. Fancy Pants -- the game's main man -- isn't much in the way of size; he's a stick figure with a pair of sweet orange pants and a little brillo tuft atop his circle head. The lightweight, hand-drawn art style of stick figures and basic levels helped the game stand out to me among the many Unreal 3-powered titans surrounding it. And playing it, I learned, was an absolute blast.%Gallery-107228%
Fancy Pants Adventures gets fancy trailer, screens
Look, we're not going to lie. We've been checking out new screens and a trailer for Fancy Pants Adventures -- coming next year to XBLA and PSN -- and we have to admit: Those are some darn fancy pants. They just might be the fanciest we've ever seen. Look for yourself and just try to disagree. %Gallery-107228%
EA bringing Fancy Pants Adventures to XBLA and PSN
If your thirst for 2D platforming was left unquenched by Super Meat Boy, well, for starters, you're insatiable. But you're also in luck! EA just announced it'll bring Flash hit Fancy Pants Adventures to XBLA and PSN in the spring of 2011. The beautifully animated and scored platformer will come from Borne Games, Over the Top and EA2D, a digital-distribution focused branch of the publisher. We normally would buck at paying for a game that's been free for so long, but a promised new world, new weapons and new enemies may be enough to have us digging for our wallets in our gigantic, flowing orange pants.
Mirror's Edge 2D vaults into beta
If running and jumping across an expansive cityscape is something that you haven't been able to do on the Xbox 360, PS3, or PC in Mirror's Edge (we're pretending you're broke and not lousy with judgment), then you can at least play the next best thing: Mirror's Edge 2D. We've known about the game for quite some time now, but we're glad to inform you of its shiny new "beta" label and lovely new site. It doesn't stop there, either, as there's new levels, time trials, and a rush mode to enjoy.%Gallery-36752%
