News just came down for exclusivity with the next chapter in the Splinter Cell series, not Double Agent. You’ll only be able to play it on Xbox 360 and Games for Windows. Now did he mean Double Agent or the next chapter after Double Agent? The announcement came immediately after the Double Agent trailer so…
There is an abundance of news filtering out…way too much to handle. I’ll wrap it up for ya though soon.
Also, Major Nelson is doing a bit of ‘live blogging’ on the event so be sure to keep your eyes peeled.
I know you’re ready for some Totemball but before the game is released, take a seat and join me as I go head to head with Strange Flavour’s own Aaron Fothergill, part of the brains behind the title.
First things first…I’d like to thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions about the Xbox Live Arcade release, Totemball. Can you tell us who you are and your involvement with the game?
I’m Aaron Fothergill and I’m Managing Director and Lead Coder at Strange Flavour. We’re only a small company though, so before I get too big headed I also have to point out that I’m also vice president of washing up and emptying the bins.
