Xbox 360 (XBL)
Single & Multiplayer
Rated: PG
Guru’s been loving the XBL and PSN Download titles of late and they only seem to be getting better! This absolutely awesome mouthful of a game (try saying Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, quickly, ten times in a row – I dare you!) is easily one of the best! At it’s core the game is a side-scrolling platform shooter (which has been mish-mashed with puzzle solving and exploration), and it sports some of the most incredibly stunning visuals since the Patapon titles on PSP.
Not only does the game look da bomb, the gameplay explodes addictively throughout the ever more challenging levels. The environmental design, sound, and bizarre other-worldly creations give the whole thing an alien look, in-keeping with the somewhat obscure storyline. You’re an alien explorer / protector, sent to stop an evil (it’s black) force which is corrupting planets. You come complete with a U.F.O. and an array of robo-arm mounted gadgets (including a Robo-Claw and Laser Gun), which’ll allow you to overcome the deadly obstacles you’ll face on this harsh world – try ITSP, it’s brilliant!
