This Wednesday: Bionic Commando Rearmed, Fable 2's casino sidearm

by Ross Miller on Aug 11th 2008 2:00PM

Part 3 of the exciting five-part XBLAugust series, in which our heroes now throw aside their time warping abilities and receive an implanted bionic arm for swinging around and shooting non-Hitlers into oblivion. If you wish to enlist into Bionic Commando Rearmed on Xbox Live this Wednesday, you're going to have to shell out 800 MS points (US $10). PC and non-Euro PlayStation 3 owners will also get their BCR fix this week, although those who favor the keyboard and mouse will pay a $5 premium.

Also coming out this week is Fable 2's XBLA gambling counterpart Pub Games, which will let you earn money now before the game's October 21 release. Entry fee to ye olde casino is 800 MS points (US $10), or free if you pre-order Fable 2 at a participating retailer.

A Gambling game and a Classic Arcade game. One of them has a one-armed bandit. You'll never guess which...

...damn, so you HAVE heard of Bionic Commando...

"PC and most PlayStation 3 owners will also get their BCR fix this week"

Why "most" ps3 owners, do I have to sign up somewhere to get it or something? I thought it was just going to be on the PSN with this weeks update?

As of now, there's no European PSN release date. Article updated for clarification.

M Bison is in this game?

Yeah, and it looks like he's really let himself go after losing his company because of UN sanctions against street fighting in the office. jerks.

yay that means this Wednesday I can gamble my balls off so I have enough gold to have virtual orgies and kick virtual chickens in October...WOoT

Cannot wait for Bionic Commando, I didn't even realize about the Pub games.

I'd rather not start Fable with boat loads of money, but it would be useful for multiple play throughs, and there's some pretty cool unique items you can win from them too.

Does anyone know who the "participating retailers" are? I'm guessing GameStop, and possibly the Best Buy and Circuit City, but have been unable to find a list of them anywhere. Granted, I didn't look very hard.

Gamestop and Amazon.com are 100% doing it.

Some BestBuys too. No Circuit City.

More importantly- there is a full setof achievements for this release!

Gamestop and EB definately. I picked up the card with the code on it last week. I don't know about the others.

I took advantage of the $15 for 1600 MS Points sale at Target (bought 4 cards!) in anticipation of all the upcoming XBLA games!

...and AFTER I loaded the points into the 360, I remembered that I actually wanted Bionic Commando on the PS3 because of the exclusive content. Oh well, 8000+ points to go crazy with now! Time to fill up my Zune and grab a bunch of DLC.

Awesome! I've been waiting for Rearmed for a while. I loved the original and the little "clink" sound of grappling. Now add new graphics and co-op = sold!

I was about to preorder Fable at my local Gamestop but apparently the deposit is $10 minimum instead of the usual $5, "since you get the free XBLA game." I said "fuck that" and walked out. Actually, I stayed and chatted a little and then walked out.

"I said "fuck that" and walked out. Actually, I stayed and chatted a little and then walked out."

Dude, you're hardcore. ^_~

10 bucks down for limited edition. No matter how much you put down for it, you're still paying 80 bucks in the end.

@PhydeWice: ? If you're trying to educate me on how preorders work, I already know. I used to work there. And apparently it's $10 for reg. edition too. Anyway, it's just that $10 of my money isn't doing any good for me sitting in Gamestop's bank instead of my wallet. Esp. for a game not coming out until Oct., by which time I will be in Japan. I just thought it'd be fun to play the pub games.

Thank God. Two more days to go and I can play this remake of a masterpiece. Here's hoping this 3D version is still as fun as the NES version.

You mean girls that look like your Mario avatar?
