XBLAFancast Episode 19

By  •  Podcast

It’s the (now regular) cast of three again this week. It’s a news heavy show, stories below, among the stories and subjects discussed are pricing, remakes and of course the Summer of Arcade.

Lucha Fury gets a little time (but it’s not very good so we skip over it mostly) while we round things out with a bit more Trenched now that all of us have played it.

Big thanks to Insane Ian for letting us use his awesome Achievement Unlocked song in this episode. Check out links to his stuff below.

Rewind Review: Age of Booty (XBLA)

Rewind Review: Age of Booty (XBLA)

Age of Booty was developed by Certain Affinity.  It was released October 15, 2008, and retails for 400 MSP.

Every once in a long while, a game comes from out of nowhere and surprises with such a vengeance that folks who play it can’t help but recommend the game to everyone they know. They play the game incessantly, altering strategic calculations, building a list of friends to play with, trading grudge matches against rivals and friendly competitions with friends. They marvel at how damn good that game is.

Age of Booty is one of these games. Sitting on the dusting e-shelves of the XBLA library, Age of Booty is not a title that most players would stumble upon and think “I bet this is a great game.” The graphics are rudimentary by today’s standards, the theme seems a bit cartoonish, and for those who have the patience or curiosity to test the demo and who try anything beyond the single player campaign, they may quickly find themselves sailing into battle without any bearings, and end up switching to a different game.

This is a mistake, but an understandable one.
