Nice!

Not so bad. XBLA FPS are uncommon, aren't they? Finally, we'll get a decent XBLA shooter

There's only been 2 so far (not counting Duke) DooM and Marathon: Durandal. I have both. DooM is awesome, Marathon is meh.

Duke will be the king of Arcade.

Where did you see this, Blood?

Joe Siegler · 09-12-2008, 02:07 PM

Yeah, I haven't gotten the Nov OXM yet, and I'm a subscriber.

King of a small world, but the king nonetheless

THE VERDICT
+Rich, co-op enabled campaign that's still funny
+8p multiplayer holds up remarkably well

-Minor control issues cause occasional frustration

? How about giving this treatment to Blood next?

Overall, a great port

though I personally don't understand the last two points.

They said the bumpers being your only weapon-changing buttons can get you killed in the heat of the moment. Also, the use key (x) is finicky, requiring precise alignment to work.

Edit: the price was listed at $10

That screenshot in there from Stadium is not from the Xbox 360 version of the game. I know that because that blue font was replaced with a newer one. Same text, but it's a yellowish font now. Don't know if that was the website doing that or not.

Just FYI...

I'll probably get my copy of the magazine on Monday.
