    I actually tried the Splosion Man multi with a friend, but this was before the patch (which took forever to be certified, cheers MS) so even though he was in the same city the lag made it unplayable.

    I really want to do the multi though, which is why T4CT's idea sounds cool.

    Count me in if this XBLA Game Night ever happens, I need to finish off the Splosion Man multi as well.

    This thread is now the Twisted Pixel thread because it makes me sad to talk about Comic Jumper.

    I still need to finish the 125000 bullet achievement, and then I'll be done until a patch happens.

    Hopefully soon so I can get the last achievement.

    I will highly consider trying to start one of those up then if people are actually interested. Unlike Castle Crashers, Splosion Man multiplayer is almost always playable in terms of latency.

    I also approve of the idea of a twisted pixel thread because I might finally buy The Maw.

    Updated the OP with the other 2 Twisted Pixel games. I plan on getting a lot more in depth and setting up gamertag lists for those who want co-op once I get another break at work.

    I did co-op with some friends way back, but I'd love to play it again, specially if we go for cakes. :D

    Also, I agree with the general consensus that this game is a bit of a step back in terms of gameplay, but makes up for it on presentation.

    OP Updated with both bits of awesome info.

    #1 - GO GET GO NUTS DONUTS FOR ROCK BAND IN THE ROCK BAND MUSIC STORE! They added a fucking sweet bassline, and drums. It is great. It is also $1. Link to the trial in the OP!

    #2 - Added all the info available for Ms. Splosion Man.

    why are you guys so negative? this game is not a copy of Splosion Man... so what you guys are trying to say is that if a basketball game is made on the iPhone... no other company can make basketball games?

    this game is a pretty fun game try it out before you mock it.

    THANK YOU

    Honestly it's a blatant rip off for sure...but when I watched it with sound on and I coudln't believe it. Even the MUSIC is a copy.

    It's disgusting they're going to get away with this. At least TP is, once again, handling the situation with much more class than I would have....

    I was all set to defend that until I watched the video

    Because, I mean, Explodemon is coming out for PSN, and I was seeing videos and stuff for that before I knew Splosion Man even existed; they're just taking their sweet-ass time with it (and it looks awesome).

    But that's pretty bad. Still, I won't begrudge them too much; I would simply prefer to think that Twisted Pixel has created a new genre, and much like happened with Doom, gaming will see "Splosion-clones" for a few years before a rightful moniker is bestowed upon it: third-person sploding.

    Ripping off gameplay is standard fare for the app store, but to see such a big company blatantly rip off characters and setting at the same time is kind of hard to swallow.

    Especially as apparently TP pitched Splosion Man on 360 to Capcom to publish and they turned it down :P

    haha I sent Matt "Chainsaw" Cheney, the guy who works for Twisted Pixel and does that song, a message on twitter saying that the best part of MaXplosion is when Mike "Dremel" Chauncey sings "Some People Like Bagels".

    Also everyone is SUPER excited for the totally coincidental release of MaXENEsplosion, a week after Ms. Splosion Man.

    Next time these guys make a game, they should try ripping off the fun part. At the very least, it looks like they don't understand what made 'Splosion Man fun.

    Thank you for linking this as it led me to the MaXplosion twitter.

    It is most definitely a parody account.

    I have an absolutely devastating migraine right now, but I cant let these thread duties go.

    Especially with an announcement like this:

    Twisted Pixel announces The Gunstringer, a KINECT game about a bad ass marionette

    Please, go to the link and watch the cool trailer and read what Joystiq has to say for now. Ill update the OP and move all the cool info over when I feel better.

    Go Twisted Pixel, all sellin' me a Kinect.

    Saw that earlier, looks like it could be great fun.

    Seeing the character revisions near the start is a nice touch.

    Looking forwared to seeing what classy little devs like TP do with Kinect, XBLA could be perfect for the device.

    Updated the OP. I think I'm going to start spoilering stuff because it's getting a little big.

    I have to work on the Gunstringer section, without Kinect Ive kind of let a lot of info slip by.

    The new Ms. Splosion Man hands on looks AWESOME.
