Ms. Splosion man will be released on July 13 for the low price point of 800 MS points. That’s saying a lot considering that recently most XBLA games of any quality have been on the 1200 point kick. Expect a review of the game in the coming weeks. I thought I would throw in part of the press release just because it gave me a chuckle.
The value of all life on Earth was originally placed at almost triple the amount of Microsoft points, but a surprise ruling from Twisted Pixel today cited a declining economy and a general disappointment in humanity as the root for assuring its destruction at the incredible price of 800 Microsoft Points. Minutes after Big Science Labs announced the capture of rogue experiment Splosion Man, all communications cut out. Unconfirmed reports of a “Pink Terror†led many to speculate on the existence of a “Ms. Splosion Man†– a second catastrophic experiment set to splode her revenge out from the laboratories of Big Science and into the world.
Humanity’s last brush with the apocalypse occurred almost one year ago, during the Great Meatening, a day remembered less for the terrible loss of many a scientist than for the vast flooding of delicious meat that rained down from the sky. Here now again, all of humanity rests on the razor’s edge – Big Science encourages all citizens to resist the sizzle of fresh tenderloin and mass destruction on July 13th, no matter the phenomenal value.
