X360A holding TMNT Arcade contest
Xbox 360 Achievement's DAKing240 is holding a contest for this week's Xbox Live Arcade release, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The objective is simple, get all 12 Achievements for the game. The criteria is equally easy, first, you must be a member of their forums. Next, your gamertag should have all the Achievements, including the secret one, and then email DaKing240 [AT] x360a [DOT] org with your tag. He's only giving out the unannounced prize to first place, so get on it. Also, don't be put off by the fact that we don't know what you're getting if you win, as they have a pretty good track record of giving out cool prizes, namely retail titles.
Wiitube wants to give you a copy of TMNT
And who are we to deny them that right? If you're at all interested in a free Wii game, all you have to do is create an avatar and upload a video to Wiitube, and you'll be entered into the contest. That doesn't seem so painful. The dramatic quality of your video doesn't seem to be a factor, so you can always take the easy way out and just read some blog posts out loud (with proper attribution, of course).We want to go on record as encouraging "giving people video games" as a Web 2.0 trend. We'd gladly trade Myspace for free video games.[Via Joystiq]
TMNT officially coming to Arcade
Before, we showed you a couple rather suspect looking screenshots for an Xbox Live Arcade version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. At first, we were a little skeptical about its certitude, then a video came out and we slowly began to let our guard down. After all it would be rather depressing to cling onto a rumor you want to be true to only find it was a hoax. Well, thankfully we can finally give you the official word, straight from Ubisoft, TMNT is slated for Arcade, will cost 400 MS points, and will support 4 player co-op (both online and off) on all the original seven levels. Is this a no-brainer purchase or what?[Via GameStooge]
Cowabunga! TMNT achievements uncovered
Those busy bees over at Xbox 360 Achievements discovered all of the achievements for upcoming Ninja Turtles game TMNT. Getting all 1000 gamerscore points doesn't look all that hard either, because simply beating the game will get you 800 points. Also, it looks like Ubisoft decided to not make all the achievements have a nice rounded gamerscore point total, opting for annoying ambiguous numbers. And overall, these are still pretty lackluster achievements with no creative flair ... hopefully they put a little more thought into the game than they did into its achievements.[Thanks, Peter J]
New TMNT trailer. Demo today?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: the whole concept is absurd. They're mutant ninja turtles for crying out loud, and yet, they've managed to carve out a niche in our social conscience. It might be this ingrained popularity that makes it so hard to make a decent game, as we hold the franchise to a certain standard. There have been some exceptions, notably the arcade game (which belongs on Xbox Live Arcade) and some of the NES iterations, but by and large, TMNT games stink. What then, are we to think of this trailer? It wasn't long ago that Ubisoft announced that the game was moving from Xbox to the Xbox 360, and it shows. Clearly, this is a port of the Xbox/PS2 version, and nothing more. This alone could be forgiven if the game didn't look so ... done before. Who knows, maybe it's fun, but it looks pretty "blah" to us.According to Evil Avatar, we may have a chance to find out just how good the game is later today, as Ubisoft may be releasing a demo. In the meantime, have a gander at the trailer and tell us what you think.
