Crossfire looks like Space Invaders and Geometry Wars
I'm not home at the moment, rather blogging from the road. Normally, this would not matter, as a netbook is really all I need to do this job in short spurts. Then I see a trailer like the one above and suddenly I feel the immense lack of an Xbox 360 in my immediate vicinity. As soon as I get back home, I'm firing up the 360 to download this Indie Game. Called Crossfire, it's a sort of Space Invaders clone that adds the ability to hop back and forth between the top and bottom of the screen. And, as you can see, it features co-op gameplay because clearly things weren't going to be insane enough with just one person involved. Looks chaotic and fun to me. Crossfire is available now on the Xbox Live Marketplace for 240 MS points. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)wow, that looks chaotic and awesome....thanks for the heads up on this, prolly pick this up in the afternoon when i have the mental stamina to endure this madness That looks pretty cool, if a little shallow. But for 240 MS Points (that's $3, right?), it seems like it could be worth it. What's the deal with Arcade release times? I'm in NZ and it doesn't appear to be available here. Is there some kind of delay between countries? Looks sweet, thanks for the heads up. Just went to the marketplace and added it to my download queue. Will definitely be checking this out tonight.
