XBLA Threefer this week: Shred Nebula, PvN Dodgeball, Gin Rummy
This week on Xbox Live Arcade we get not one, not two, but three new games. Lined up in a row -- like so many ducks -- we have:
Shred Nebula (800 / $10)
Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball (800
/ $10)
Gin Rummy (400
/ $5)
Shred Nebula is a space shooter that utilizes strafing mechanics instead of the twin-stick format we've become used to in games like Geometry Wars. It also boasts online dogfights for 8 players. Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball is ... um ... dodgeball. It now sports three different gameplay modes -- in addition to the single-player story mode -- and can be played by up to 8 players. Finally, there's Gin Rummy, which is ... Gin Rummy. It supports 4 players online and contains six different versions of Rummy.
Will any of these wind up on your digital shelf?
