New T. Hawk sprite for SSF2T HD Remix

Another week, another trickle of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (just when you thought the qualifiers had ended) sprites. This week Brian Dunn brings us a single sprite of T. Hawk, everyone’s least favorite SF II character ever. Poor stereotyped guy. Maybe his totally radical revamp will change some of that, though. It certainly makes me want to give him another shot. Maybe it’s his super-trendy belt buckle.

Dunn’s blog over at Capcom USA also gives us a little more insight into the rendering process for the new game. If you’ve scoured Stuff We Like from top to bottom and still have time to kill, you should head over there and check it out. It’s a pretty cool read. Otherwise, just click on the thumbnail, and fall in love with this game all over again.

Tomb Raider Anniversary going episodic on 360

Eidos Interactive has announced that their upcoming game, Tomb Raider: Anniversary will be the first ever full retail game to be serialized through Xbox Live Marketplace. The game will be split into four episodes, with episodes 1 & 2 available in September, and episodes 3 & 4 following “shortly afterwards”. All the episodes will total 2400 Live points, which I think equals $30? Stupid point system.

You know there’s a catch, though. The episodes will require the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Legend disc to play, so this nifty little distribution is only for owners of the previous Xbox 360 title. D’oh! Happily, a full retail version of the game is planned for later in the year, just in case you didn’t buy that steaming pile of crap that was Legend. Read on for the full press release.

BlackSite: Area 51 Screenshots

When Midway came out saying that BlackSite: Area 51 would be released around the same time as Halo 3 I laughed. I thought that there’s no way BlackSite: Area 51 could compete with the mega Halo 3. Midway’s latest batch of screenshots has changed my mind. Sure BlackSite: Area 51 will not be able to sell nearly as many units as Halo 3, but BlackSite: Area 51 will sell a great amount! The creatures in this game look fantastic! Check them out for yourself in The Pipeline’s Video Game Screenshot show.

Screwed Up Prince Of Persia Classic Glitch

As most of you know, this week’s Xbox Live Arcade release was the remake of Prince Of Persia, called Prince Of Persia Classic.

The game is awesome, I had the chance to play it a few weeks before it launched and loved it, so this Wednesday, one hour after it became available I downloaded PoP Classic. But, I was surprised by a weird glitch that keeps me from playing it.

As you can read in the video nothing seems to fix this and also, I have not heard about anyone else going through this (if you are out there speak up) so I find it hard that it will be a patch for the game that helps just me.

UPDATE: An employee of Gameloft just called me, he just asked me a few questions about my Xbox and the game and told me they are working on fixing the game, but they have not been able to reproduce the glitch in anyway yet. They will contact me by email as soon as they have news on the glitch/fix. He contacted me because he saw the video on the internet, not because anyone from Microsoft talked to Gameloft or Ubisoft.

No word from Microsoft yet.

Capcom Gives Back to Gamers

Up until now, the lucky gamers that have the Collector’s Edition of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft have been able to enjoy the extra “Battleground” map which sets players in an abandoned town scattered with rubble from ruined buildings and features indoor and outdoor areas with multi-level vantage points. Starting on Thursday, June 7, the map will be made available for free download to everyone on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Multiplayer map pack #1 and #2 are also currently available on Xbox Live Marketplace for 400 Microsoft Points per pack. Map pack #1 includes two multiplayer levels: “Radar Field,” a close quarters facility which is under construction and has a giant radar that provides a peak vantage point, and “Island 902,” a sprawling Pacific-themed battlefield with several islands connected by bridges as well as vast underwater areas. Map pack #2 also features two levels: “Hive Complex,” an abandoned mine with twisting tunnels and bridges set on a war-blasted mountain side, and “Trial Point,” a modern day office complex featuring a photorealistic backdrop of a busy city center.

Lost Planet is an epic gaming masterpiece combining a gripping single player campaign and intense multiplayer modes with support for up to 16 players on the Xbox Live online game service. Taking full advantage of Xbox 360 system’s power, Lost Planet contains sophisticated visuals, with an unmatched level of detail as advanced light sourcing is used to ensure a realistic presentation that enhances every explosion, smoke and particle effect. Enormous world maps unfold as players battle hostile creatures in blistering weather conditions across vast snowfields and deserted cities either on foot or in armed, robotic Vital Suits.
