Video Game News, Stories and Updates for the PS3, XBOX 360, PC, PSP, Wii, and DS

Trippy, bro.
- Q? Entertainment is delivering Meteos Wars, a two-player port of the Nintendo DS puzzler. Like most people, I enjoyed Meteos way more on the DS when using the touch-screen controls rather than the traditional d-pad-and-button setup. It just seemed much quicker and more efficient to move blocks around with the stylus. So I'm not sure how the controls will work out on the 360, especially with that awful d-pad. On the upside, Wars comes with some new head-to-head multiplayer action.
- PowerUp Forever is hitting courtesy of Namco Bandai. This is a top-down dual-joystick shooter in the Geometry Wars vein, with a little bit of flOw mixed in. You constantly get bigger and stronger as you shoot enemies--powering up forever, in other words--so monsters that were daunting in one wave will be puny and defenseless in the next. The game has a real psychedelic look to it that changes significantly every time you power up. We saw this one briefly at E3; looked like it could be neat, if you haven't reached your dual-joystick saturation point yet.
Expect both games to appear on Live Arcade in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.

A Meteos port and another twin-stick shooter. Oh joy =/
Why I would spend 800MSP on either of those totally escapes me.

Never got to play Meteos seeing as how I sold my DS super quick-like.
May have to pick that one up.

I really liked Meteos on the DS, so I might get that. I'm not really sure about PowerUp Forever, though. Dual joystick shooters are a dime-a-dozen these days.
seriously that picture is hurting my head. Ahhh whats happenning icnt spllllllsssnnn......
The Meteos War game looks solid. I haven't played the original but I heard it was great.
PowerUP Forever could be interesting, but I don't need anymore games to play right now...especially when it's not that original of a game.
Meteos could be good if it uses Poker-Smash-style dual analog controls. The games work the same--it's just in Meteos you move the blocks vertically, and in Poker Smash you move them horizontally.
If the only control option is how the button controls worked on the DS, then yes, it will suck.

Meteos is good enough to transcend the controls, I think. I'm already sold.
BTW, I called this, over a year ago.
Jus' sayin'.

Please tell me PowerUp Forever runs in 1080p on the 360 like Geometry Wars 2 does.
YEA!!!! Meteos the most over rated puzzle game ever comes to XBLA, sucked on the DS and I bet it sucks on the 360. Ill check the other game out but right now I couldn't care less.
It's a very cool game with unique characters. It's kind of a medium speed game and great level of variation.
I Hyped Power Up Forever on Everhype and gave it 84% which I think is fairly accurate.

I wouldn’t mind getting some opinions on it . If you get on there, rate me a 5 & request friendship.
