You’ve hopefully seen the videos here on U360 already for Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit and now you can actually get your Vegeta and Goku action on with the demo on Xbox Live!
Ready for another round of Super Saiyan fun? If not, then at least you can have fun with the box art for the game. It looks rather good. I just might pick this one up. I’m almost ashamed to admit that I had fun with the Wii version of Dragon Ball Z. Atari is trying to bring the heat this year with Alone in the Dark and Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit.
Packed with graphically enhanced playable characters, realistic battle stages and environments, players can take hold and experience Dragon Ball Z as never before. Ok, it’s gameplay video time…check it out below!
June is almost here and Alone in the Dark will hopefully scare the pants off of some of you when it releases. I should have the Q&A with the folks at Eden Studios soon so stay tuned. In the meantime, Atari dropped some new in-game screenshots for you to enjoy. They’re dark and teasing…in a very “I want to be teased” way.

It looks like we’ll have more tennis to choose from this year. Featuring the biggest names in tennis including Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova, highly realistic visuals, a host of gameplay enhancements and online play via Xbox LIVE, Smash Court Tennis 3 will be lobbing and smashing its way into North American retailers in August 2008.
The first in the revered tennis simulation series for the new console generation, Smash Court Tennis 3 for Xbox 360 tests the player’s skills against 16 of the world’s finest international tennis players. Gameplay modes include Tutorial, Arcade, Pro-Tour, and Exhibition mode where up to four players can go head to head offline. The game also features an online mode allowing players to play online via Xbox LIVE online entertainment network.
In addition to Xbox LIVE voice chat and rankings, players can take on opponents in online tournaments and in a range of different matches. Online doubles matches let players team up side by side for a long distance match against another pair, bringing the action and interaction alive like never before. Will it be game, set and match for the Smash Court Tennis debut? Who knows but it better have the Williams sisters in it!
I don’t know what to say about this game really. The cartoon was amazingly popular years ago yet the game continues to do well apparently. So well in fact that there’s an Xbox 360 version coming. Get ready to play with Vegeta, Goku and the rest of the super saiyans you’ve all come to know and love. Check out the first trailer below.

Welcome to Sequel Town. In Sequel Town you’ll find a list of games that I’d like to see sequels to. Sequel Town has an open door policy for any publisher and developer so feel free to walk right in and make your sequel of choice happen! This list surely doesn’t cover all of the titles I’d like to see sequels to but I sat down thinking of the games I’d like to revisit for various reasons and these are what I came up with.
Crackdown 2 - Realtime Worlds had an awesome showing with Crackdown. Screw the Halo 3 Beta hype that surrounded it because it was a damn good game. And I want a sequel dammit! Crackdown 2: City Arrested. Visually it was incredible and it really brought something new to the sandbox genre and it deserves another round.
Who doesn’t want to hunt down more of those whacky orbs? And if my 9.2 overall review score isn’t enough to convince you, then I don’t know what is. Bring in more gangs this time…make it five to handle. The Shyne. The Boik. The Gai Republic. The Ladyz (a collection of hard core women gangsters). And last but not least, The Agenzy. It would be the toughest of the gangs made up of agents who defected from the real Agency.
Bullet Witch 2 - Okay, I’m probably reaching on this one but the original had so much potential that I feel like Cavia and Atari owe me a do-over. If you’ve read my review, you’ll understand what I mean by potential. It had a sexy central character (Alicia Claus), it had a new, very interesting weapon and a story. And let’s face it, who doesn’t like a woman in skimpy clothing with a big gun kicking plenty of ass?
It felt short in a few ways but for its potential alone, I think Cavia and Atari should offer a sequel to truly represent what Bullet Witch should’ve been. Give me my Bullet Witch 2: Pandora Seize.
Atari hasn’t done a lot of things right in the last few years. Their next-generation offerings have been received by a very mixed crowd. Some hate what they’ve given thus far and some think things have been okay. With the help of Eden Studios, I think that’s about to change.
What I believe now is that everyone will soon be singing their praises because Alone in the Dark just managed a 10 on my OMG meter. After seeing the second round of gameplay footage, I’m convinced that we should no longer settle for mediocre from any of these developers. Alone in the Dark looks glorious right now! It could very well be the first true next-generation suspense thriller on the Xbox 360.
The next chapter in the Alone in the Dark series looks to take its disturbing atmosphere to new heights. Atari and Eden Games delivered some gameplay footage from December that looks very interesting.
Don’t take my word for it. Watch it for yourself. If the gameplay can match the atmosphere, then we might have a terror-filled ride on our hands. And I mean that in a good way.
I posted a few days ago about the first downloadable content for this game arriving. I shared some screenshots as well of what the new content looks like. There was an issue with the theme as well as a few of the costumes not being available. Well, those missing things are slowly starting to filter in. The Mummy costume is now ready for download as well as a few additional missions at 20 Microsoft Points each.
Where are all my witches at? I wanted to give you the heads up that the first set of Bullet Witch downloadable content is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace! The first Bullet Witch downloadable content includes a free, brand-new White Witch costume for Alicia, the game’s stunning heroine, and a Bullet Witch Xbox 360 Theme pack. In addition, for 20 Microsoft Points each, players can download one brand new mission “Dynamite Beauty” and two enhanced versions of the “Clad in Streaming Black” mission featuring ‘Great Spells’ unlocked and a heightened level of difficulty, respectively.

I’m excited about it as I was one of the people who really had a good, yet different experience with Bullet Witch. Head over to read my review of Bullet Witch if you haven’t already. The theme pack looks pretty sexy and you can’t go wrong with the prices for the extra missions! Take a look at the Games Blade above and the rest of the images in U360’s Flickr.
