'Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao' Video Game unleashed onto XBox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network

Retro-style arcade beat ‘em up Invincible Tiger The Legend of Han Tao is now out on XBox LIVE Arcade for 1200 MS points/$15. Published by Namco Bandai Games, Invincible Tiger was developed by Blitz Arcade, a division of Blitz Games Studios, one of Europe’s largest independent video games developers. The ‘70s Kung-Fu movie-style side-scroller will be available on PlayStation Network in the US from tomorrow (27 August 2009).

An ace 2D experience in its own right, Invincible Tiger is also the first console game to provide players with the option of stereoscopic Digital 3D. Crisp and clear 3D depth of field can be viewed without sacrificing colour or clarity through most high-end 3D Ready TVs. The game also includes anaglyph 3D which is compatible with any TV and a pair of standard anaglyph glasses.

An original concept by Blitz Arcade Project Director Ollie Clarke, the game follows the eponymous hero as he battles across ancient China to reclaim the Star of Destiny from the Evil Overlord. Along the way he fights the Overlord’s wicked hoards, which range from henchmen to the undead. Luckily, he’s well equipped with intense combos, slick counter-moves, the ability to wield deadly weapons and mystical Zen attacks.

Players can fill Han Tao’s Zen Meter with punishing combos and well-timed dodges to unlock the full potential of his power and annihilate his enemies. Sliding down ropes, going through doors, climbing up poles or jumping on roofs, Han Tao is also able to use his environment to quickly escape danger or catch enemies off guard.

Ollie Clarke said: “We’re really pleased with Invincible Tiger; it’s been quite a journey getting to this stage and it’s brilliant to see such a quality game at the end of it. We aimed to first make a great retro-Arcade game that’s easy to play but difficult to master first and then included a great Digital 3D experience second. Please turn up the volume and enjoy the splintering Kung Fu soundtrack as well. We really hope people enjoy playing the game as much as we have had while making it.”

Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao offers a variety of multiplayer modes for both online and local play:

• Team up with a partner and take on the Evil Overlord’s diabolical army through Story Mode Co-op.
• Battle through each level, dealing with increasing difficulty and a shared Zen-meter.
• Learn combat techniques in the single player game and use them beat your enemies into the dust.
• Experience Endurance Mode where you’ll face an endless stream of enemies under a time limit.
• Post your scores online for bragging rights.

Neo Retro shooter Emotigeddon gets a makeover


Neo Retro 2D shooter Emotigeddon has received a graphical and musical overhaul. The game's graphics have been vastly improved, and a pumping trance soundtrack has been added.

Emotigeddon is an incredibly fast paced adrenaline packed 2D side-scrolling shooter set in a digital world called Electopia. Its inhabitants are the emoticons used by people in their instant messaging conversations. Recently, people have started using too many unhappy smiley faces, and the unhappy faces have grown strong. The unhappy faces have begun taking over the happy faces, and sadness and anger have spread throughout Electopia. It is emoticon armageddon.

Players assume the role of the leader of the Happy rebellion, and their mission is to restore balance by fighting the unhappy faces. The players have powerful weaponry at their disposal with which to restore the balance.

Rhys Griffiths, Game Director at Heatbeam Software said: “The new character art looks fantastic, it really brings the emoticons to life. The music helps complement the adrenaline packed action. It's great when the music reaches a climax just as you're in the midst of an really frantic battle, it sends shivers down my spine. The game is a much more immersive experience now."

To complement Emotigeddon's new lick of paint, the gameplay has also been tweaked in order to appeal to a broader range of gamers: the grappling hook has been made considerably easier to use and additionally difficulty settings have been added.

“The game is now much more accessible," added Griffiths. “the grappling hook is easier to use, which will make moving around like a lunatic even more fun. The easier difficulty settings allow a wider range of players to enjoy the game to its fullest. The new extra hard mode should challenge even the most hardcore players, and the easier modes will let the more casual player enjoy the game as well.”
