Battlestar Galactica XBLA price frak-ed on Saturday

by Jason Dobson { Apr 3rd 2008 at 2:00AM }

This Friday marks the debut of the final season of Battlestar Galactica, and while we have no delusions that the 60 minutes of commercial interrupted TV will leave us any more stupefied than we were at the end of last season wondering what in the frak is going on, we nonetheless cannot wait to pick our jaws up off the floor.

To celebrate the premiere, Sierra has chopped the price of its casual BSG-themed XBLA shooter in half to 400 points, and while playing the game still just serves as a painful reminder that we still lack a real Battlestar Galactica game, the new price is nonetheless a welcome treat. But get it while it's hot; the toasters are going to jack the price back up to 800 points 24 hours later. So say we all!

I didn't pay 800 for this did I? I could of swore I purchased it for 400.

Anyways Don't forget to watch the 5 second short after the credits. The R&D TV logo's... I worked on season 4's as the VFX supervisor. They have been greatly improved over the last 4 seasons.

Too bad the game is a stinker.

Don't know if you guys have seen this, but some fans have created a total conversion mod for Freespace 2 called Beyond the Red Line. Its a BSG flight sim. :-)

Game was full of meh. Maybe for 400, but I'll probably just go play the FREE Beyond the Red Line Demo again, which is aboint a billion times better anyway. And it's FREE.

Use that money to buy Star Fox 64.Remember: DO A BARREL ROLL!

I wish someone would make a good battlestar game for the consoles. (The PS2 one doesn't count cause it sucked) If only the guys behing the "Beyond the Red Line" could get some funding to make a console version that would be sick...

Having to play Project Slypheed to get my space shooter fix was kind of sad. (But I was so hard up, I ended up enjoying it anyway)
