radiangames Ballistic is the final release by popular developers radiangames. They are moving on to pastures new so firstly I would like to thank them for their wonderful arcade games over the past several months. Ballistic is a twin stick shooter that features 9 different ships to play with by yourself or in co-op. The ships can be upgraded with extra firepower, shields etc and you must destroy each wave to progress. Also featured are online scoreboards to see who is truly the best. As always the presentation is slick and the game is fun, well worth checking out as it only costs 80 :MSPoints:. More information can be found on the Marketplace.
Blocks Indie is a puzzle game mixed with a Lunar Lander style gameplay. The aim is to deliver a wooden crate to a floating island by using a jet-powered platform which works much like the aforementioned game. The controls do take a bit of getting used to, but once you master them this is a very enjoyable game. Later levels are quite a challenge with obstacles to make your journey difficult requiring good skill and patience. Presentation is done well with good graphics and helpful tutorials. Blocks Indie costs 240 :MSPoints: and more information can be found on the Marketplace, a trailer can be found on Page 2.
