Yes, and yes

You ride along blowing **** up, with a flame thrower, minigun and mortar launchers, with grenades and nukes on backup. You can jump out and fight on foot for more points, and there are underground sections entirely on foot I read, though you dont get to play them in the demo.

I played the demo is thought it was really realy good. Alien Hommid was rather strange though.

Got a certain charm to it though. Didn't buy it but I loved the style.

Boring boring boring this week - Track and Field. Couple of good things on the way though:

Hot August games also releasing this month:

* “Ecco the Dolphin” (Sega) Cool off with this fun, whimsical update of the classic undersea exploration game featuring everyone’s favorite bottlenose dolphin, Ecco!
* “Hexic 2” (Carbonated Games) The highly anticipated sequel to the popular puzzle game “Hexic HD” will have gamers racing to solve brand new challenges, including an all new two player Battle mode.
* “War World” (Ubisoft) A pure adrenaline rush, War World features powerful armored mechanoids battling head-to-head in all-out savage single and multiplayer battles that combine action and strategy.

Sizzling summer launches hitting in the coming weeks:

* “Geon: Emotions” (Eidos) Engage in the unique sport of Geon, where you must master a diverse range of emotions to best your opponents.
* “Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords” (D3Publisher of America, Inc.) Addictive and easy-to-learn, this game integrates story and character progression elements found in RPGs delivering a brand new type of game that pushes the puzzle genre to a whole new level.
* “Space Giraffe” (Llamasoft) Created by genre-defining game designer Jeff Minter, “Space Giraffe” is a psychedelic shooter that spans 100 levels, all set against vivid, pulsating backgrounds that synchronize with any custom music selection.
* “Streets of Rage 2” (Sega) One of the most popular side-scrolling beat ‘em ups of the 90’s gets the Xbox LIVE Arcade treatment, complete with enhanced graphics, sound, Achievements and multiplayer modes.
* “Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix” (Capcom) This game combines addictive puzzle action with favorite Capcom fighting characters including Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Morrigan.

I know some folk have been waiting for Puzzle Fighter (especially Jen iirc), War World looks awesome, Hexic might be worth a look, though how much value it will be compared to its free predecessor who knows, Geon looks like it could be something different. Streets of Rage 2 needs no comment

... and to repeat, Echo can cock off

Streets of Rage 2......Puzzle Fighter, Puzzle Quest........oooooooooooooh

I sense an expensive time for me with the arcade

Puzzle Fighter is actually partly because i know my Mum would love it and I've been trying to find something she'd like besides Bejewelled 2.

And Streets of Rage 2 is just plain awesome.

Gauntlet, easy sp points, can pretty much run the 100 levels by always pressing Y to regain health. Level 45 atm, should be done tonight.

However, SoR...sweeeeeeet.

Space Giraffe (400pts) and Street Trace: NYC (800pts) this week. Personally I'm more interested in Space Giraffe, read a few things about it over the past couple of months, and it looks most random/different:

The random phrases are great (back'o'the net!)
