Valcon Games, a video game publishing company that brings quality products to the North American market, brings the classic shooter – Raiden Fighter Aces — to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. All three extremely popular coin-op Raiden Fighter games can now be found on one disc in this faithfully recreated ultimate collection. The game began shipping in North America this week, and will be selling for a suggested retail price of $ 19.99.

“Arcade fans of this classic game will be thrilled that they can get the same arcade experience without leaving the house,” said Glenn Halseth, co-founder of Valcon Games. “We included all the original gameplay of the original games, plus added enhanced features to accommodate next-generation gamers.”

In addition to the nonstop action, Valcon Games has added new features, such as a new training mode that lets players modify every aspect of their ships and wingmen; skip to any level; or play in slow motion. Comprehensive screen and control settings let gamers play each game full-screen as a side-scroller, or even vertically on a rotated 4:3 display.

Players also don’t have to dogfight alone. Now, two players can play co-op games offline, or choose to play as a lone-wolf in Arcade Mode, posting high-scores and gameclips to Xbox LIVE? online entertainment network.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) September 24, 2009

BadRadish Entertainment, the leading developer and publisher of games made for Mr. Radish, today announced the game Lodestar 1000, a challenging mind game suitable for all ages. Conceived and ordered by Mr. Radish, senior top executive, future game god and present day ninja at BadRadish’s Seattle studio, Lodestar 1000 pits you against a very lovable, but serious robot who will unleash legions of button presses on the Xbox controller. To keep up, you must remember how to press the same sequence of buttons. This starts off easy, but as you level up Lodestar will start using distinctively different parts of the Xbox controller. This daunting task is fun because each zone on the controller features a unique array of sounds.

“The term ‘sounds’ doesn’t do it justice”, says Mr. Radish. “Each of those lovely aural delicacies stake out their own sonic space and are sampled from a Commodore 64. They taste pretty on your ears”

The Lodestar 1000 art direction is guided by memories of the Commodore 64 and other classic systems. All graphics, sounds and music are 8-bit or 8-bit inspired. The idea came from lead and sole developer, Ivona Kaczynski, who grew up with a Commodore 64 computer at home. Great care was taken, pixel by pixel, to create Lodestar’s blocky animations.

“You should tell them more about the music”, says Mr. Radish. “The music in the game is great, but especially cool is the in-game music because it gets layered dynamically as you level up with the robot.”

Yes, the music gets layered dynamically. Lodestar 1000 was developed using the Microsoft XNA framework and will be launching on Xbox Live Indie Games in mid October 2009. It will have a street price of 80 Microsoft Points, equivalent to 1 US dollar.

Features of Lodestar 1000 include:

????Lovable Lodestar Robot
????Classic Simon gameplay enhanced by innovative use
of the Xbox controller

????8 bit sound effects sampled a Commodore 64 SID chip
????Soundtrack features original chiptunes
????In-game music is layered dynamically
????Features voice by notable voice talent, John J Dick,
the voice of “Sam” in the popular PC game, “Serious Sam”

About BadRadish Entertainment:

BadRadish games are noted for being fun, easy to learn, interesting curiosities that appeal to everyone aged 8 to 80, but excluding age 42. BadRadish does not make games for people aged 42. And really, while it stops at 80, it starts back up again at age 87. Based in the Seattle, Washington area, BadRadish Entertainment was founded in 2008 and has a worldwide staff of less than 100.

About Xbox Live Indie Games:

Xbox Live Indie Games are video games released on Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360. The games are developed using Microsoft XNA, and developed by one or more independent developers that are part of the “XNA Creators Club”. Unlike other Xbox Live Arcade titles, these are generally only tested within the local creator community, have much lower costs of production, and generally are less expensive to purchase than other Xbox Live Arcade titles. The service was released to widespread use alongside the New Xbox Experience, and since then, over 330 games have been released on the service, many receiving media attention.

About Microsoft Points:

Microsoft Points are the currency of the Xbox Live Marketplace, Games for Windows – Live Marketplace, Windows Live Gallery and Zune online stores. The points allow users to purchase content without a credit card. 80 points is equivalent to 1 US dollar.

New Windsor, NY (PRWEB) October 15, 2009

Robert Williams received an education of his very own when he taught elementary school for 10 years. However, his lessons weren’t in arithmetic or literature like his students, instead he learned a valuable lesson about what captivates children. One reoccurring theme that was consistent among all his kids was the enthusiastic mention of gaming on an Xbox360.

Armed with his newly discovered enlightenment into the world of children’s creative play, Williams decided to apply his knowledge to the creation of a flourishing online business, launched in September of 2009. Thus, http://www.Xbox360SkinsPlus.com was established.

His Web site is among the top gaming resources online; more than a business, it’s a place where gamers of all ages can load up on the latest games and accessories for Microsoft’s Xbox360 console. Video game enthusiasts can download games at the cost of pennies, add custom firmware, add gaming backup and browse through an assortment of skins that range from simple designs to colorful movie-themed covers. Williams also plans to update his inventory with the introduction of Splash games and the latest versions of already existing board games, puzzles and mind teasers.

Additional skins for iPods, cell phones, laptops and other handheld electronics will soon be added to the Web site.

“I sell an all-inclusive product; gamers won’t need to look elsewhere to find the games and accessories they want,” Williams said.

Williams strives to reach out to the general public to provide them with proactive ways to ward off the progression of dementia and Alzheimer’s in adults. He wants to emphasize that stimulating the minds of elderly people with games, puzzles and brain teasers is an enjoyable way for them to remain mentally healthy.

“Playing video games stimulates the mind and is a great way for adults to recapture the excitement of childhood,” he said.

Gamers are encouraged to visit the Web site’s newly implemented blog, http://www.VideoGameConsoleSkinBlog.com, to read about the latest updates in the Xbox360 world, including advancements in Microsoft technology.
