Tank Battles is on its way to the XBox LIVE Indie Games marketplace. The game is currently available on the Playstation Network for the not-so-low price of $9.99. But the real news here isn’t that the game is coming to the XBLIG, it’s who’s developing it that is. Gameloft, the developer of the title, is a subsidiary of the distinctly not indie publisher, Ubisoft.
To be honest, I was a little miffed at the whole notion of a big time studio moving in on the XBLIG marketplace. “How dare you cruel imperial invader?” I shouted at the blurb on Joystiq. The indies have already been more or less muscled out of the XBox LIVE! Arcade with more and more big published games dominating the release schedule. But will this really happen here too? The XBLA and XBLIG really aren’t directly comparable services. The main difference being that there is no release schedule on the XBLIG which provides considerably more slots for games than the one a week the XBLA tries to push out.
So in essence what we have here is a situation, where a big time developer is going to be releasing a title on to XBLIG. Which does nothing but help the XBLIG. In fact, we’ve already begun to see the positive influences of this move, as the service is actually getting some air time on the big boy game news sites and let’s face it the XBLIG could really benefit from an increase in product awareness.
Paradoxical Pie Pilferer PB Winterbottom to Plunder Pastries on Steam
April 8th, 2010 |Posted In: Gaming
Good news everyone! Our second, no thats not right, our fourth favorite time traveler is on his way to Steam. That’s right Mr. Winterbottom is taking his delectable crime wave to the big PC Platform with a release date of April 20th, 2010. The game will feature a few new items on the menu including: expanded leader boards, five new puzzles, Steam Acheivements, and Steam Cloud. We gave The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom the full review treatment when it released for the XBox LIVE Arcade back in February, so be sure to give it a read while you plan your future pie heist.
New York, NY – April 8, 2010 — 2K Play announced today that the critically acclaimed The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom will be available April 20, 2010 on Windows PC through Steam. Set in a world made famous by keystone cops, theater organs and pie-in-the-face slapstick, the inventive game has been heralded as a “big contender for DLC game of the year” by 1UP.com, who gave the game a perfect 100/100 score. The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom presents the comical escapades of the portly pie thief P.B. Winterbottom on his mad-capped pursuit of scrumptious brain-teasing pies that wreak frontal lobe havoc from the puzzle-filled euphoria of time manipulation and self-replication.
Created by The Odd Gentlemen, The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom was originally released for Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. The Windows PC version is being developed by 2K China. The game will be available exclusively on Steam and comes with many new appetizing ingredients, including expanded leaderboard options, new unlockable Steam achievements, five additional brain-teasing puzzles and Steam Cloud, which allows players to take the game with them on the road by accessing saved games from the Steam network.
“The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom teases and excites fans at first glance because of its charming, silent film art style and biting humor; but the game’s inner genius quickly surfaces and challenges fans to stretch their mental capabilities to solve complex puzzles,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Are you smarter than The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom? It’s time to find out.”
Pre-purchase now on Steam and be ready to play when the game is released April 20.

Twisted Pixel, the indipendent developer behind the critically acclaimed Splosion Man, had a chance to debut some of their latest game while at SXSW and it’s looking pretty good. The game looks to be a 2D side scrolling brawler with a case of the funnies.
Comic Jumper is expected to be making a PAX East appearance at 1PM, 3PM, and 5PM. So if you happen to be one of the lucky bastards going, go get yourself an eye full and then come back and brag about it.

Smudged Cat Games has announced that their upcoming game Shuggy will be releasing around the end of April. Brooks, being the Reader junkie he is, managed to beat me to seeing the news and has already called dibs on doing the review. This, of course, caused my current state of discontent and why I am cursing all of you.
The game will feature 116 single player levels as well as 30 seperate co-op levels. The gameplay is pretty much all explained in the video. Which is a really good thing because it looks like the game has pretty much every game mechanic a person could imagine crammed into one poor vampire’s inheritance.
