Sometimes you just want some straight-up platforming action, and that’s what Adventurer Pets HD by Arrogancy Games aims to do. The official description is “Adventurer Pets is best described as a ‘competitive arcade style platformer.’ The game is modeled as a mix of classic arcade style single screen platformers and competitive multiplayer party games. There are two single player modes available and one local mutiplayer, which supports from 1-4 players.” Unfortunately this really doesn’t seem to describe the game. I guess there’s no story, so I guess you’re just supposed to run around and jump on stuff. Maybe there’s some collection stuff as I believe is shown in the trailer. Hopefully, this proves to be more fun than it looks from the outset. So let’s as the Brits say “Have a go”.

(xblig) Adventurer Pets HD – Platforming Pets better get the Vet!
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009(xblig) ZP2K9 – Zombies and Pirates and Guns, Oh my! – XBLCG
Monday, March 9th, 2009I’m not talking about some twisted version of the Wizard of Oz, although that would be supremely cool. I’m talking about ZP2K9. What is ZP2K9. you ask? Glad you asked that. ZP2K9. or Zombies verses Pirates 2009 by Ska Studios is a platform-scrolling, gun toting, zombie marching, pirate plundering, shoot-fest for XBox Live Community Games!
ZP2K9. is basically a death-match style 2d platform-scrolling shooter. You take on the role of the titular zombie or pirate and attempt to blast other players or bots (AI agents). That’s pretty much it. When you setup your player you can choose either the human team, or the zombie team. Each “team” has seven skins – A dude, a Ninja, a chick, a Pirate, a “crusader” or knight, a Viking, and a Samurai. There are three game types, single player, xbox live multiplayer, and system link multiplayer. Unfortunately I was only able to review the single player, and only 8 minutes at a time. But I believe this was enough.
See you on the flipside…
Thursday, March 5th, 2009…Flipside of the divine, that is. Our next game comes from Erik Svedäng and his team including Daniel Kaplan, Pernilla Akterhall, Björn Öjlert, Markus Nurmimäki, Stefan Hurtig, Johan Gren, Daniel Rydin, Johan Åberg, Petter Mabäcker, and Andreas Sundin of the University of Skövde in Sweden (I’m assuming Sweden because on his personal about page, it says he was born there) for a 10 week course in 2007.
