Boom Boom Rocket for XBLA

It's a small surprise, but why not after all. Electronic Arts announced the release this spring of Boom Boom Rocket, a Xbox Live Arcade title developed by Bizarre Creations. It certainly looks like it shares a few things with Geometry Wars, but I'm certainly not complaining at all. First screen inside.

Cool. doesn't look like it plays like geometry wars. I wonder if it will be a game that we play to the beat of a song. Like elite beats or some kind of DDR.

what about Settlers of Catan, Bizarre? Although this looks quite nice, it's from EA . . ... makes me feel uneasy

besides, I cannot see that SerpentineDBol font anymore, it's heavily overused ;)

Looks interesting. But I refuse to support EA in any way until they discontinue their horrid business practices.

What's up?

Seth Any word on xbl subscriprion? They better offer something more than just playing mp. (13 minutes ago)
KORNdog @bleachedsmiles: because we've been told they will work. Don't get me wrong, i think some of them won't. But much like online passes, it isn't mandatory. (21 minutes ago)
KORNdog @GriftGFX: but sony have stated used games will work, and then added saying locking then out was a published option...that would still be on EA. (22 minutes ago)
bleachedsmiles @KORNdog: what makes you so confident on that? i think it could go either way at the moment (23 minutes ago)
GriftGFX If it's a platform thing then EA doesn't have to worry about it. It's not their problem. (24 minutes ago)
KORNdog @bleachedsmiles: i think i'll be safe renting on the PS4. Pretty confident of that. But we'll see. (24 minutes ago)
KORNdog EA going back on that promis would just hirt their reputation even more, and it's already in the gutter. (25 minutes ago)
