This was its response: So, government of Australia, you’re off the hook this time!] Australia, the small island nation that is homeMad Max,Crocodile Dundee, and more than 50 nude beaches, is once again doing everything it can to protect thousands of lines of code from being sexually exploited by seemingly banningGal*Gun: Double Peace....

You thought I was going to use a picture ofBraid, didn’t you? As much as I love that game — especially now that it’s been given a decent price drop — it’s time to let someone else get the spotlight. What’s different about this reduction is that it’s permanent, which is almost never the case when it comes to Xbox LIVE Arcade. AlongsideBraid, which is now 800 Microsoft Points ($10), two other XBLA titles have gone down by five bucks:Cloning Clyde(now 400 MSP) and3 on 3 NHL Arcade(also 400 MSP)....

Worth more than a sticky nickle People love to complain about the price of games, and I get it. With the number of games these days that come out broken,half-complete, or crammed to the gills in microtransactions, it’s easy to get cynical.

I won’t go too far down the rabbit hole, but suffice to say it’s going to keep zombies players talking for a while. “Alpha Omega” seeks to tie together two major storylines of theCall of Dutyzombie saga. Long story short, the Chaos story kicked off with the new crew fromBlack Ops 4, but there’s also “Primis” and “Ultimis” versions of the original four zombie characters: Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo, and Nikolai....
