KeezNah Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 From xbhaskarx Major Nelson's latest podcast confirms that not only will 'Splosion Man have a premium theme to unlock, it will be the first game to have Avatar accessories. Everything will unlock like Achievements. They will also give away 'Splosion Man figures (real, not an Avatar acessory), when you beat the game it tells you how you can win one. Basically there will be a weekly leaderboard and and you can win if you're #1 on a certain level. The demo will have three single player levels and three multiplayer levels, and one Avatar accessory will unlock from those levels.

The people who top them are f**king cyborgs. Other than that I like what I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeezNah Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 TWISTED PIXEL LETS DOWN PRESIDENT, COUNTRY WITH WEDNESDAY SPLOSION MAN RELEASEThanks Obama For Slamming Video Games Right Before Our Release Date AUSTIN, TX – July 21, 2009 – Twisted Pixel Games was thrilled to hear President Obama’s directive for parents to start “putting away the Xbox,” an announcement made right on the eve of Splosion Man’s release. That’s cool. We weren’t excited to be kicking off the Summer of Arcade or that early reviews have been so positive about our game, or that it is practically a steal at 800 Microsoft Points ($10.00 USD). Go ahead and tell people not to play games. But answer me one thing, Mr. President: If not us, who is going to teach our nation’s kids the unimportance of spelling or about how scientists will turn into slabs of meat when you splode them? Splosion Man doesn’t just lure families apart with its 50 level single player campaign and separate 50 level 2-4 player multiplayer campaign, it also dangles several treasures sure to corrupt even the most tight-knit household. A free unlockable premium theme headlines a package containing two free gamerpics and, perhaps most troubling, hidden within its codey depths, the ability to grant two male and two female free avatar accessories once the functionality becomes available on Xbox Live. The den of evil that is www.splosionman.com contains further temptation, offering downloadable faceplate templates, desktop backgrounds, and the entire musical score from award-winning composers John DeBorde and Joshua R. Mosley. The siren call of each piece is divided into several layers, which react dynamically during gameplay, offering much more stimulation and interest than homework or family time ever could. well played twisted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 ^^ I have 1200 points in my account. Should I buy The Maw or Splosion Man ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Neither - although I loved the Maw. It's a bit too short and you'll probably be bored with Splosion Man as per the review. Save the points for Shadow Complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
