Terraria review (XBLA)

Terraria was originally developed by Re-Logic; 505 Games developed and published the Xbox 360 port. It was released March 27, 2013 for 1200 MSP. A copy was provided for review purposes.

TerrTitle

At its heart, Terraria is a 2D side scrolling platform game which features a range of RPG, mining, crafting and world building mechanics. With such a unique mixture of gameplay styles and influences, one could be forgiven for thinking that Terraria should lack depth or substance. The reality is quite contrary however, and Terraria may actually be one of the deepest and most engaging titles within the Xbox Live Arcade catalog.

Terraria presents the player with such a huge range of activities to participate in, at such a variable pace, that it really is the ultimate sandbox game. Unlike Minecraft or Spelunky which respectively allow players to wander aimlessly in relative safety or punish them brutally along an increasingly difficult path, Terraria presents both options as slowly or as quickly as you can manage.

Skulls of the Shogun – XBLA Fans Exclusive Guide

logo

Skulls of the Shogun (Skulls) is one of the most enjoyable turn-based strategy games available on XBLA, with a lengthy campaign, lots of replayability and lasting multiplayer potential. Here at XBLA Fans, we think Skulls is a great game, so for more information about whether or not Skulls might be your thing, why not check out our review (coming soon.)

Love it or not, one thing is for certain about Skulls; it may look simple at the first glance, but there is actually rather a lot going on under the hood. Success depends upon the mastery of numerous strategies, all of which we will discuss in detail within this exclusive guide.

This XBLA Fans guide will be presented in several stages, each of which is detailed below, along with the day on which it will be made available. Players who are new to Skulls or have little experience of playing turn based strategy games should start with the General Strategies guide.

Guardians of Middle Earth – XBLA Fans Guide

Guardians of Middle Earth (GOME) is one of the few MOBA’s (multiplayer online battle arena) to grace the Xbox Live Arcade and it will come as no surprise to fans of the genre that it can be quite a tough game to progress through. This is a game which features a huge range of unlockable content including characters, relics, runes and tough achievements – none of which can be accessed without real commitment from players.

This guide has been created to provide players (especially those new to the MOBA genre) with the skills and strategies needed to be successful from the outset, as well as to offer specific advice on how to excel with each of the 22 characters which this rather generous game offers. You’ll find our specific guide pages immediately below, whilst further down are links to our previously ran articles on ‘MOBA Mastery’ which feature a series of useful videos from the developers at Monolith Studios.
