Twisted Pixel's Ms. Splosion Man -- the follow-up to 2009's Mr. Splosion Man -- hits Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday. It's got a price now, and it's only 800 MS Points.
"The value of all life on Earth was originally placed at almost triple the amount of Microsoft points," Twisted Pixel writes in its press release, "but a surprise ruling from Twisted Pixel today cited a declining economy and a general disappointment in humanity as the root for assuring its destruction at the incredible price of 800 Microsoft Points."
I'll have my full review up when I'm done playing it or something, probably before it's available for purchase by humans. I'll go ahead and say that 800 MS Points is probably a steal.

The pricing on those first two ports is $9.9... Ms. Splosion Man is one of my favorite platformers to date. Like the original, it's charming, engaging challenging, and really put Twisted Pixel on the map for me.
The mobile version translates most of the magic of the original to iOS in favor of serviceable touch controls, and a smoother graphical output. But it also shows the darker side of mobile gaming quite well. Twisted Pixel Games' four Xbox Live Arcade titles -- The Maw, 'Splosion Man, Ms. Splosion Man, and Comic Jumper -- are going to be bundled together digitally, it was announced this week. Strangely, there's no real d...
In addition to checking out a playable build of Ms. Splosion Man, I also had the chance to view a private hands-off demo of LocoCycle, showing off about ten minutes of gameplay.

Mike started by stating that on current iPads, ... In the wake of massive studio closures these past few years, not to mention other eye-opening events like John Riccitello's resignation as CEO of Electronic Arts, it's hard to have a positive outlook on the industry's future....
LocoCycle is well underway, and a new video has just been released to acclimate us with Freddy Rodriguez, the voice actor who plays the part of Pablo.

There's going to be a new Xbox 360 320GB hard drive on sale this March for $129.99, and it's going to include three full games with it.

You guys remember FMV games, right? Well, even I remember them, and I'm the resident baby here at Destructoid. FMVs were interactive movies that, you guessed it, used full-motion videos. Think Dragon's Lair but with real act...
