Lions and Tigers and (now) Bears. Oh my!
In recent years, many developers have created games centered around caring for animals of all kinds, and Microsoft has taken the experience to the next level with Kinect. Their first hands-free title within the genre, Kinectimals, gave players the opportunity to care solely for wild cats, such as lions, tigers, black panthers, and leopards. But now, Microsoft has developed a new addition to the series, a DLC pack titled, Kinectimals: Now with Bears.
The arcade classic is being recreated in 3D, with a slew of new features and updates.
Some games just get better with 3D, or at least that's what Korean developer, Barunson Interactive hopes. The team has announced that they are currently developing a 3D update of Double Dragon II: The Revenge, for Xbox Live Arcade, known now as Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons.
One stand-out title buoys this collection of rehashes and spin-offs.
While Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions is a brand new game, it’s comprised mostly of existing titles. Both the original Pac-Man and Galaga make their appearance alongside their modern revivals, Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions. Exclusive to the collection are two brand new games, Pac-Man Tilt and Galaga 3D Impact. Though 3D Impact offers a neat AR experience, its inclusion is mostly forgettable, leaving Pac-Man Tilt to carry the title. The problem here is that Pac-Man Tilt is mostly enjoyable, but occasionally infuriating due to its mix of traditional and motion controls.

There's no question that die-hard Earth Defense Force fans may be a little turned off by the latest title in the series, Insect Armageddon. As something of a spin-off of the main series, the title has been developed by western studio Vicious Cycle Software, rather than the typical folks at Sandlot in Japan. In the shift to D3Publisher's western office, Earth Defense Force has seen some slight changes in an effort to build a stronger third person shooter for western players. As someone who has enjoyed the likes of 2017 and Zangeki no Reginleiv, the changes are a mix of both good and bad.
