This Wednesday: Ecco Gets Hexed [Update]
Let those who worship the almighty two-fer rejoice! We're back in business.
This week brings us Hexic 2 in the new category (aka 800 MSP) and Ecco the Dolphin slotted as the retro release (aka 400 MSP).
Can the multiplayer of Hexic 2 (or maybe the achievements?) lure you back even though the first game was virtually free? And does the idea of being a dolphin excite you or disgust you? So many questions to answer before Wednesday...
Screenies can be found on the Gamerscoreblog Flickr: Ecco and Hexic 2
After the jump are the typical selling points of each game.

[Update]: Adding pricing info.
Ecco the Dolphin (although this xbox.com link is broken as I type this...oops.)
“Ecco the Dolphin” (SEGA), a fun, whimsical update of the classic undersea exploration game featuring an online leaderboard that tracks “Best Time,” and includes enhanced graphics and sound.

I'll at least give them both a try. My sister loves Hexic, but it's a litte slow-paced for my taste and I don't really have enough patience.
Ecco the Dolphin? Heard of, never tried.

I'll have to download Hexic, just on the off chance it gives me a game to play against the wife.
Ecco... I've heard of it a lot... I don't know if I've ever played it, though.
Yay for two-fers!
I'm sure there are some Ecco the Dolphin fans out there, but I'm waiting for Streets of Rage 2.
I've certainly enjoyed a few games of Hexic, although it's probably not something I'd have paid money for. And it's not the sort of game I can imagine getting fiercely competitive with - a multiplayer battle mode seems a little at odds with the feel of the first game.

I think multiplayer Hexic sounds cool. I liked the first game a lot.
Ecco sounds weird. Apparantly you travel through time and fight aliens? I would have never expected that from a game about a dolphin.

Yeah, the "plot" for Ecco is odd and a bit hard to follow. THe game is rather addictive if you like side-scrollers however.
Doubt I have to say it here, but download the trial and actually play it rather than decide on the description. I would have most likely never played it if I had only read the back of the original box and not had played an in store demo.
