Destructoid

If you've somehow missed the news, you should know that Destructoid has partnered with Hudson to make video gaming magic (well, it's magic to us), and now Mr. Destructoid has become a playable character in Bomberman Live for the Xbox Live Arcade. Today, the Bomb-Up Pack 2 is available for download on Xbox Live, letting players sport the Destructoid helmet and suit while they bomb for domination.

Grab Bomb-Up Pack 2 for 250 Microsoft Points ($3.12) and you'll get ten new characters (including Mr. Destructoid), two new levels, the new "Bomb Shelters" game mode, and two new leaderboards. Just make sure you already have Bomb-Up Pack 1 already installed. And you'll definitely want to suit up before the Friday Night Fights.

What do you think? Are you ready to drop some bombs, Destructoid style?

bottled dark at 09/26/2007 17:14

must... fix... xbox live!!!!

savagesaladin at 09/26/2007 17:15

Well I won't be paying $3.12 for a freaking skin. Not even a Destructoid skin. That shits for the birds.

Dexter345 at 09/26/2007 17:25

Is anybody else having trouble with it? I keep saving my customized Bomberman, but every time I try to leave the customization screen it says I haven't saved my changes, and then I get back to the main screen to see just the standard Bomberman standing there.

Cheeburga at 09/26/2007 17:28

I came.

Tempus at 09/26/2007 17:30

You have to buy each pack in succession? Licks. Balls.

Dexter345 at 09/26/2007 17:32

Tempus: do you? Maybe that's my problem, I don't have Bomb-Up Pack 1.

Dale North at 09/26/2007 17:36

Dexter, I think that's the problem

ttaylor at 09/26/2007 17:49

Shit yeah! I'm on it..

Dexter345 at 09/26/2007 18:04

Yeah, that was the problem... Damn them, they're taking all of my money, just because I want to play as Mr. Destructoid. I guess it's worth it.

king3vbo at 09/26/2007 18:09

I need moar points... why am I so poor :'(

O well Im more than willing to shill out some wonderful credit card money for Mr. Destructoid

SubOrbital at 09/26/2007 18:14

Destructoid Robot FTW! Now Bomberman, tomorrow Super Smash Bros! Now THAT would be ultimate. So, is Bomberman Live any good?

realyst at 09/26/2007 18:23

Niero + explosives = win

Holyetheline at 09/26/2007 18:40

YES! Dtoid will be doing all the explosions on my xbox!

Jordan Grim Devore at 09/26/2007 18:55

Played one match and there was another dude rocking the Mr. D costume. Then I brutally kicked ass and was accused of hacking.

BFeld13 at 09/26/2007 19:33

Bitchin'

B-Radicate at 09/26/2007 19:34

I love Dtoid and the community and all... but being forced to puchase both packs to utilize the second just out of pure principle is complete bullshit. What's the point of offering up more than one expansion if you require your users to have the previous one to use the newest? So much for customizing your experience. FUCK HUDSON!

Not only do I not support them on that BRILLIANT design decision, I also hate it when companies sell shit on live that isn't in increments equivalent to whole dollars. I refuse to support the shitty ass monetary system they have created in that manner.

Sorry, Destructoid.

Mister Disco at 09/26/2007 20:14

Already got it. It's fucking awesome.

bigfatton at 09/26/2007 20:27

Can't fucking wait to get me some microsoft points so i can show my robot pride when i'm pwning noobs

Tino at 09/26/2007 20:54

WIN.

Zac Bentz at 09/26/2007 21:04

I'm going to buy a 360 just so I can do this.

Demios at 09/26/2007 21:20

I gotta but the 1st pack too to save it to my profile...Christ.

UNDERSTAR at 09/26/2007 22:07

Awesome, gonna buy this pack whenever I can hamper some money together to get a 360 first.

SourGr8pes at 09/27/2007 01:27

I have it, but somehow I don't feel worthy of it. Maybe one of the costumnes with a dress and bombgina would be more worthy

Volcanon at 09/27/2007 03:35

zomg, I got it and IT'S AWESOME! Personally, it was totally worth my hard earned cash, but that's just me.

Snaileb at 09/27/2007 07:17

Bad ass, I'll snatch it up as soon as I get back into town.

Nice work Destructoid!

Necros at 09/27/2007 10:16

I'll buy this as soon as I get a 360. Promise!

Jchobot at 09/28/2007 17:27
