I haven’t had a chance to play PrometheusZ yet, mainly due to a certain virtumonde infestation, getting back from a Thanksgiving holiday, and catching up on the latest Shmup-Dev rapid development session entries… but I did think this video highlights some very interesting game mechanics. I’ll write more later.
Pixel_Outlaw sent me the link to a cool video. It shows a project at Brads Electronics, 8×85 RGB LED POV. A version with more vertical “pixels”? Playing a “1942″ type game? I’d by a kit like that 
Oddbob has a valuable new site, XNPlay, “dedicated to bringing you news, views, reviews and previews of games featured on Microsoft’s Xbox360 Community Games program.” Besides being a strong proponent for indie games, Oddbob‘s opinions on games are always fresh, interesting, and well written. And, he likes shooters
Nathan of Mommy’s Best Games sent me word that Weapon of Choice has gone gold and is now available on XBox Live Community Games. I’ve seen and played an early PC build and this is a great bit of run ‘n gun shooting.
Nathan says:
Weapon of Choice is now available on Xbox 360 Community Games. Sign in and download the free demo today! Upgrade to the full game for 8 bizarre weapons, 7 non-linear levels, and dozens of insane monsters, all for only 400 points!
400 points is an incredible bargain. Give the demo a try if you have an XBox 360. The market place URL is here.
As you can see, the graphics are over the top in the best way possible.
