Four games hit the wire today, and it is certainly an assorted bag. Tweets can be found here and here. I only own one out of the bunch and that would be the Final Fight game which also includes Magic Sword (which is really the standout of the package). Really well done retro-package. The achievements aren’t too bad until you get to the last one (which I’m still missing) which is unlock EVERYTHING in the vault. Yeah, that’s when I knew to move on to something else. Frogger 2 is a poor followup to the original and should be avoided unless you are just really curious. Puzzlegeddon by the same token is a really poor puzzle game (but gives me hope that Poker Smash will be BC at some point). The only one with some interest here is Faery: Legends of Avalon which looks like some light faire rpg’ing. At $7.49 (it had a price drop back in 2012 after releasing as a $15 affair), it seems reasonably priced. The achievements seem doable and I am a sucker for XBLA rpgs since they only usually last about 8-10 hours. Enjoy.
