ESRB Watch: Counter-punch = Ikargua

Wed, 2008-01-23 18:27 — LunarDuality

The ESRB has countered the Australian invasion with a massive counter-punch. Ikaruga has been rated making fanboy's hearts collectively skip a beat and then go searching for the crazy ambidextrous savant video on YouTube. Okay, maybe that was just me. But it gets better. Ikaruga is not the only game that's been added to their list. The new additions are here, and the oldies are after the break.

I am already having trouble just imagining the wait for these games to arrive. Grr.

Additions since last time: (It's clearly been too long.)
Ikaruga
Frogger 2
Brain Challenge
TiQal
Shred Nebula
Shotest Shogi
Rocket Bowl
Triggerheart Exelica
N+
Chessmaster Live
Bliss Island
Poker Smash
Aces of the Galaxy
Cosmic Osmo's Hex Isle

[via ESRB]

Oldies:
Commanders: Attack! (aka Commanders: Attack of the Genos)
Discs of Tron
War World
Live Free Or Die Hard (Vaporware)
Lumines Live! Artist Pack: Madonna "Sorry" (Vaporware until I hear otherwise)

Yeah, that's probably what they said in August last year, too.

Just reporting what is there. As you know I have been one of the more vocal people wondering where it is.

Sad truth is that my interest is waning now since I cancelled my gold XBL membership. :/ At this point I play more games on my laptop/PSP with cafe WIFI than actual games at home.

I can confirm what dezombie quoted. That line (it's still coming!) was corroborated by the CEO of Third Wave when I asked about it. So, expect to hear some news in the near future.

@ Dirty Whirlwind

Braid may not have recieved a rating yet, but I happen to know that the game development is continuing well. I hope to have some news to tell about it coming up here.

Yeah, but when they're starting to create [url=http://braid-game.com/news/?p=150]ads[/url] for the dashboard you could think the game is fairly done, ready to receive a rating for sure. :)

I guess I'm just a bit worried that Braid, my most anticipated game on 360 altogether, won't see the light in the next few weeks, as i was kinda expecting. The wait is killing me, metaphorical speaking of course.

Blokus would in fact make a very good XBLA game. I personally don't care for it though. Still waiting for Alhambra, 1 1/2 years and counting ...

You'd think 2 years in development would FORCE ubi to make war world 1200 MP. (well, 1 or 2 years anyway.)
