Giving Onechanbara a run for its money.

Well this wasn’t too unexpected.  Microsoft have banned an XNA game that was basically Arkanoid with soft porn in the background.  Homebrew games with porn in them is a tradition that has so far only been enjoyed by sweaty PC gamers and Microsoft are keeping it that way.

Either that or they are saving it for a proper Xbox Live Arcade release.  Which would be ace, if only for the potential achievements.  Oh well, you’ll have to search the seedy world of PC homebrew if you want anything similar but for now let’s all share a chuckle at the cancelled game’s name.  Break One Out.  Phenomenal.

Shitknot more like.

Brace yourselves.  Microsoft have decided to get Xbox Live rocking with their latest Deal of the Week.  You remember the dark days when the Iowa Mission pack for Battlestations: Midway used to cost 400M$P?  Well, get ready for save-o-time because, for one week only, Microsoft are literally slashing the price to a recession-busting 320M$P.

That’s right!  It was £3.40 and now it’s a ludicrously low £2.72.  I don’t own Battlestations: Midway but I’m still buying that DLC because I know a fucking bargain when I see one and I see one right now!  Expect customer confidence to surge and for all the global markets to start getting better.  That 68p saving is getting spent today.  I might even put it towards some gamerpics or a nice theme.  Anyone who says that Microsoft are laughably tight cunts are not welcome here at PEOWW – “officially owned by Microsoft” since 2007.

Ewww...

Resident Evil 5’s producer Jun Takeuchi (one of our favourite Tekken characters also) has reacted to the near-universal criticism that Resi 5 is basically just Resi 4 but not quite as good by stating that “Resident Evil 6 will have to reinvent the series with another full model change or else it won’t be able to keep on going.”

That’s pretty positive news, especially as Capcom have never been afraid to milk a series for loads of similar installments.  As much as we love Resi 4, and rather like Resi 5, it’s surely time for Resident Evil to go back to it’s roots and show the likes of Left 4 Dead exactly how you’re meant to do a zombie game.

Perhaps they’d like to include some horror next time also.
