Joe Danger: The Movie videos with snowmobile and bicycle chases

Joe Danger: Special Edition is probably one of the best motorcycle games on XBLA aside from Trials HD and while we’re getting Trials Evolution in the spring, summer is looking like big movie month and Joe Danger: The Movie is premiering shortly after from Hello Games. In the first developer commentary, we see Joe on a snowmobile escaping from missiles being shot at him from a helicopter. You’ll have to land on certain areas to dodge missiles and the hop technique will be your ultimate friend here. In the second commentary after the jump, Joe is a policeman going after a robber but he has commandeered a kid’s bicycle since his license has been revoked. You’ll have to race through busy streets while throwing newspapers at the perp in order to catch him. Joe Danger: The Movie is looking like a crazy sequel that adds more to the already great formula with the same track creation and multiplayer from the original with new movie focused scenes. Look for Joe on the red carpet for its release in the summer.

Marketplace link for Fable Heroes shows up with screenshots

Just rumored yesterday in a Gamasutra piece, it seems all but confirmed that we’re getting a new entry in the Fable series on XBLA. @lifelower just recently stumbled across a Marketplace link for the upcoming Fable Heroes, developed by Lionhead Studios. The gameplay looks reminiscent of cel-shaded games and the gameplay of a four-player co-op (online and off-line) hack-and-slash. There also looks to be mine cart levels, sprawling areas and board games to break up the action. It looks to be aimed at a more kid-friendly audience and will have unlocks for the upcoming Fable: The Journey for Kinect. Check out the screenshots and Marketplace description after the break in case this gets delisted. There’s rumors we’ll be hearing more about Fable Heroes sometime tomorrow as GDC begins and XBLA Fans will be there checking out the action.

Introducing Wrench and her arena in Girl Fight

Girl Fight was only introduced a couple weeks ago but the upcoming fighting game with plenty of girls is soon around the corner. Kung Fu Factory and Microprose have revealed their first character entitled “Wrench”. While she may lack a shirt, she makes up for being a “tank” class which deals heavy amount of damage. She also graduated MIT at the age of 19, so it only makes sense a shadowy organization would kidnap her and make her fight other girls. Check out her arena after the jump.
