What's New: Ikaruga, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Pencil as Pop-Art

Ikaruga made it's triumphant shmup presence on the XBLA last week, and aside from being incredibly difficult, it certainly is challenging. And fekkin' difficult. At 800 MSpoints, it comes highly recommended!

Rocky and Bullwinkle also made their presence known with the Rocky and Bullwinkle Pinball FX table. At 200 MSpoints (or is it 250 points?), and for hardcore pinballers, this is a good download. Not a must, but it's as close to new pinball as you're going to get for awhile. Unless you pick up the awesome Pinball Hall of Fame: William's Collection, with the following tables on the PlayStation 2:

Pinbot (win!)
Whirlwind (win!)
Black Knight (double win!)
Funhouse (triple win!)
Space Shuttle
Gorgar
Taxi (no Marilyn? so-so)
Firepower


.... for $14.99? $15 for these emulated tables, not on PinMAME but on old reliable PS2? May be time to dive back into the PS2 playfield. However, seeing as how they are emulated, dare I say they would make their way to the beloved XBLA?

We also sent Pencil Shavings through some sort of weird trippy stuff to play with the photo programs the Four Tokens Films guys work with, and will be posting some stuff shortly (definitly shortly..)

Back to the games!
