Wednesday's Haul: More Than I Expected

Wednesdays are becoming less about new releases and more about extending the value of the games already out there. We got Tetris Splash today, but even that has a load of premium downloadable content right out of the gate. So let's do a full rundown of our weekly haul.

XBLA Game: Tetris Splash

DLC: Carcassonne, Soltrio Solitaire, Tetris Splash

Trailer: 3D Ultra Minigolf

All of that content for Tetris Splash sure makes it seem a bit dubious (especially considering it arrives alongside the game). Soltrio Solitaire keeps coming back to delivery more every two weeks -- why would anyone be surprised by this arrival? And finally, how does everyone feel about paying 300MSP for 7 tiles in Carcassonne?

Full details for each and every piece of content after the break.

Does Gravity Affect Emotions?: Eets Puzzle Pack 2 Is Out

For those inclined to gustatory puzzling, Eets: Chowdown now has new downloadable content. Specifically, Puzzle Pack 2: Eets in Space.

The new pack contains 20 new puzzles and will set you back 200MSP (just like last time). People finished with the Marshomines from Puzzle Pack 1 and looking for new challenges will be treated to new items including the Pink Bud and the Marshopump.

More is More: Soltrio Solitaire Gets More

I have no more words. Soltrio Solitaire now has a Game Pack 8. Anyone wanna start a pool on how high they will go?

No details up yet on Soltrio.com. Therefore, I give you the xbox.com forums which tells us that the pack includes:

Funnel Web, Plait, Rank & File, Scorpion Easy, Scorpion, Scorpio, Spider 2 Suits, Spider 4 Suits, Spike, and Thumb & Pouch

Previous packs covered here.

Destructoid Blasts Bomberman Live! [Update]

Coming soon to a Bomberman Live! match near you: Destructoid's faithful mascot!

No word on when we'll be getting it, but it will arrive along side many other new costumes in the next DLC pack for Bomberman Live!. So, if being a grumpy robot doesn't suit you, try the punky girl or the pretty pink fairy. And sure, for the macho there's a new executioner outfit as well. You can dress up your Bomberman doll action-figure as hardcore as you, don't you worry.

Actual character model, after the break. Check Dtoid for ludicrously large versions of all the images you see here and much, much more.

[Update]: I'm dumb and can't read. Full details after the break but know this: 10 costumes, 2 levels, 1 mode, 2 leaderboards and all coming September 26th for 250MSP.

Soltrio Strikes Again

Just in case you missed it a couple of days ago -- Buried amongst a giant sized marketplace update at Major Nelson's blog was word that yet another game pack for Soltrio Solitaire. I swear Silver Creek is just toying with me at this point.

Game Pack 7 adds the following gametypes:

  • Canfield Easy
  • Canfield
  • Klondike 2 Deck Easy
  • Klondike 2 Deck
  • Klondike 3 Deck
  • Superior Canfield
  • Xray Klondike
  • Yukon-Rigel's
  • Yukon-Two Decks
  • Yukon
  • The total number of games you can play in Soltrio Solitaire now stands at 87 and the total cost for owning the entire set is 1850MSP (~$23.13).

    Which do you all prefer: The more pricey but a la carte Solitaire Soltrio method or the all in one (thus filled with games you won't play) but slightly cheaper (100+ games for $19.95) Hardwood Solitaire method?

    The list of what is contained in each and every Game Pack is (as always) here.

    Immediate Gratification: Band of Bugs DLC Info

    Boy, that was fast. Just moments after wondering what the Band of Bugs DLC would be, all the details plop into my lap.

    If all goes well we should see a new theme (Support Theme), a new picture pack (Picture Pack 4, eyepatches rule!), and a new map pack (Map Pack 3). You can get an idea of the picture pack and theme on the official Band of Bugs page.

    The map pack will contain "a new Spider Hunter map and some mission-oriented" maps as well.

    No official word yet, but I imagine prices will be similar to everything else released for this game.

    Castle Crashers: Not Coming To A Toy Store Near You

    Sure, versus is cool and everything, but these guys make me wanna fire up the ol' imagination for some medieval-style meatspace hack 'n slash adventures. Too bad I am never able to journey to the the cons to experience the loving touch of Dan Paladin's sharpie.

    Peep more figure pr0n here.

    Bomb-Up Pack 1 Details [Update]

    Apparently, I am so damn trigger happy with my posts I deprived you, fair readers, of the details of the Bomb-Up Pack 1 for Bomberman Live!. Mere hours after I posted this, Xbox 360 Fanboy acquired all the necessary details for the bomb-crazy among you.

    With greatest apologies I bring you the quick and dirty version:

    350 MSP 250 MSP gets you ten new characters (featuring Little Bomby Foo Foo and Rocky Bomboa), two new maps (High Stakes and Zeppelin), a new mode called Frag (I wonder what that is like?), and a new leaderboard (for Frag mode, I assume).

    Anyone willing to get stuck with 50 extra points to buy this?

    [Update]: CAGs rejoice. The DLC is actually 100 points cheaper than expected according to Siliconera.

    RoboBlitz Multiplayer: Wingardium Upgradium

    Naked Sky Entertainment has been prepping some serious DLC for RoboBlitz. Who knew? This might come out of left field for me, but those that enjoy this game should be seriously stoked by the news because this DLC expansion will include multiplayer.

    Besides the new multiplayer maps and modes, you also get new costumes (including Spartan, Cheerleader, and Vegas) to enjoy while you compete in standard deathmatches and also a mode called "Upgradium Blitz". In that mode you will be hording the good stuff for yourself and stealing it from your opponents.

    But the best part of the whole shebang is that the expansion will be free. Music to my ears. That 1200 MSP price suddenly doesn't seem so steep anymore.

    No release details yet, but it is firmly planted in the certification phase. Keep your eyes peeled (and check out the screens). It could be close.

    Wednesday's Haul: Advance Notice Edition [Update]

    Gamerscoreblog has just confirmed the arrival of Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix this wednesday. It might just be the most confirmed game ever. Conspicuously absent from the latest post is any info on price or the inclusion of War World in this Wednesday's fun. Were we deceived? Hopefully we find out soon.

    That's old news though. The interesting bit is this: Besides SPFIITHDR (and hopefully War World), XBLA will also see the release of two DLC packs this Wednesday. First, Bomberman Live! will be getting the Bomb-Up Pack 1. Second, Eets: Chowdown will also be getting some DLC. We already knew that though. No pricing details yet, nor any info on the specific contents of these packs.

    Gotta love the advance notice though. Makes budgeting for this week that much easier (or harder as the case may be). Do you think Silver Creek with try to sneak another pack for Soltrio Solitaire in there just to avoid feeling left out?

    [Update]: Chris Paladino of Gamerscoreblog has responded to concern about War World not making it this week with the following at the link below:

    "War World is not release [sic] this week according to all of the internal folks I've asked...

    Sometimes there are many bowling pins being juggled, and developers can get their signals crossed - which is why until you see the press release for the week - nothing is official. "

    Looks like I might be breaking out the ol' strikeout tool...

    At least they confirmed the price of SPFIITHDR will be 800 MSP.
