Jul 22nd
Twisted Pixel pushed its way onto the Xbox LIVE Arcade scene earlier this year with The Maw. An original title based on an original IP, we thought it was pretty damned impressive for the studio’s first effort.
Its sophomore effort, another original Xbox LIVE Arcade title called ‘Splosion Man, looks to continue the studio’s tradition of working with unique and original IP. When it was announced earlier this year, we thought it was a joke — the studio pitched it as a game about as an exploding man who does lots of exploding and explodes scientists into pieces of tasty steaks.
Really.
It had our attention, for sure. But is ‘Splosion Man, the game that kicks off Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade, any good? Hit the jump to find out, and excuse how many times we use varations of the word “explode.”
’Splosion Man (Xbox LIVE Arcade)
Developer: Twisted Pixel
Price: 800 MS Points
To be released: July 22, 2009
If you’ve already read our preview, go ahead and skip over the next few paragraphs, or excuse the redundancy. ’Splosion Man follows the adventure of an experiment gone wrong: a lab rat is turned into an unstable and combustible anti-hero, hell-bent on escape from a locked-down underground facility. Security, as you’d expect, is tight. And it includes lasers. Killer robots. Moving platforms that move up, down, left, and right at varying speeds.

Jul 11th
Last year, a group of Super Mario Brother’s fanatics got together and played variations of the video game 55 hours straight for charity, raising better than $11,000 in total. This year,Mario Marathon is back, and once again the gamers are broadcasting live on Ustream, intent to complete all of the games by the end of the weekend (or however long it takes).
The event seems to be off to a good start. There are currently almost 1,000 people watching the group sit on a couch and play their way through the games, while Ustream’s integration with Twitter has lots of users chatting and using the hashtag #mariomarathon. And so far, more than $4,000 has been raised for Child’s Play, a charity that gives games, toys, and books to sick children.
Mario Marathon has some other cool tie-ins to keep followers interested. Fans can submit artwork for inclusion on their site, and both donors and those using the #mariomarathon hashtag will be eligible for prizes that will be held throughout the marathon. You can also keep up with the gamer’s progress in completing the challenge on their homepage.
We’ve embedded the stream below if you’d like to check it out:
