So it hasn’t been a really exciting week in the world of XBLA, but what is out is pretty good. One game especially. But I’ll let it be a surprise so click the link.
Oh wait. I forgot about that pic I just put up.
Shit.

I was excited for Soul Caliber until I heard they took out Mission Mode. Boo on that. I understand it was for file size reasons, but that’s the best part of the game
WOTB: Commando 3 is an okay game you can really play better ones so it could be a pass. Purchasing it can get you into the SSF II Turbo HD Remix Beta though.
Awesome, Happy Tree Friends!!!
I was excited for Soul Calibur until I realized that I still have a working Dreamcast, and SC.
My son and I are really having fun with SC4. I don’t mind the lack of online but I do hope they eventually add Mission Mode as DLC now that the file size restriction is changed (actually, I think DLC doesn’t count towards that anyway).
True, because mission mode kicks ass.
