A couple of great demo’s and Arcade titles headline the XBL update this week, including the return of the classic arcade game- Choplifter.
First things first- the demo’s of both Asura’s Wrath (a game I’m really looking forward to) and Final Fantasy XIII-2 have posted and await down of the loading- so go get ’em.
Second things second- Choplifter HD, zombies and all, has gone up alongside survival horror adventure- Amy. You pretty much know what to expect from Choppy. There’s flying, there’s shooting, there’s lifting… there’s also fighting the undead, which I didn’t really see coming but I digress. Amy is a little bit of a wildcard that I don’t know much about. Seems like a very interesting idea for a horror game though…
XBLA
- Amy – 800mspts — This one is about a town overrun by zombies- don’t tune out yet! You play as a young woman and a little girl with a special condition who must escape the infection.
- Choplifter HD – 1200mspts — The classic arcade rescue game return with some new twists… yes the new twists include rescuing a bunch of folks from a zombie outbreak. You could probably tune out now.

Demo’s
- Asura’s Wrath — God of War meets Eastern traditions. The boss battles alone look like this one will be worth the price of admission.
- Final Fantasy XIII-2 — The sequel to FF13 seeks to continue the adventure of the first title while simultaneously continuing the Square/Enix tradition of sequels to sequel non-sequels… My head hurts.
