Xbox Live Top 10: Halo 3, Trials HD continue to dominate

Xav de Matos — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:05:00 EST

Surprising no one, Major Nelson's weekly list of most-played games on Xbox Live showcases Halo 3 and a double dose of Call of Duty on the top of the charts, with Modern Warfare and World at War grabbing second and third, respectively. XBLA top-seller Trials HD continues to lead the downloadable space, beating out newcomers Tower Bloxx Deluxe and Panzer General: Allied Assault.

The most notable item on the list is Gearbox Software's Borderlands, debuting at (a disappointing) ninth on the list. Perhaps evidence that inventory shortages may in fact muck up the wheels of a critically acclaimed game's launch. Color us surprised ... then trace us with sarcasm.

X3F TV -- XBLA in Brief: Tower Bloxx Deluxe, Panzer General: Allied Assault

Richard Mitchell — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:20:00 EST

Up for offer on Xbox Live Arcade today are two diametrically opposite titles. Tower Bloxx Deluxe is a puzzle game that requires a grand total of one button to play, while Panzer General: Allied Assault is a strategy / card / board game with more rules than you can shake several sticks at. Depending on your mood, present company or your feelings toward the construction industry, either game might appeal to you. As such, they are both priced equally at 800 ($10). Watch the latest episode of XBLA in Brief to find out if either one is for you.

This Wednesday: Panzer General assaults Tower Bloxx Deluxe on XBLA

David Hinkle — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:19:00 EST

This week's Xbox Live update wages war on one of humanity's oldest foes: the block. We're sorry it's come to this, but we're afraid we can stomach their shenanigans no longer and, come this Wednesday, we're enlisting the aid of Panzer General: Allied Assault for 800 ($10) as we begin operations.

Our first target will be Tower Bloxx Deluxe, with an estimated damage total of 800 ($10). It's a good introductory target that should benefit us in the longer conflict to come against the blocks. And if you're having second thoughts about all of this, remember how they're always making us push them here and pull them there -- and have you forgotten all of the climbing? We're standing up for the little guys and those archaeologists who've had enough tyranny from those six-sided symmetrical impeders, so if you can't get behind that, we suggest you pull up those hemp pants of yours and barefoot it back to the treetop commune or wherever else you hippies call home nowadays.

Panzer General: Allied Assault attacks XBLA this fall (no Dragoon in sight)

Alexander Sliwinski — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:00:00 EST

Ubisoft announced today that World War II-themed card game Panzer General: Allied Assault is ready to draw from a deck of destruction this fall on XBLA. The game is being developed by Petroglyph and is a different take on the strategy game classic, to which Ubisoft apparently gained the rights after the most recent installment back in 2000.

Along with the digital game, Petroglyph will also release a physical board game with 240 action and unit cards. The game is being called a "lite" WWII game and will also be available this fall for $60. We're currently following up with Ubisoft to see if the game will be playable at GamesCom.
