Earthworm Jim HD for XBLA: Fuck Yeah
As you may be aware, Earthworm Jim fucking rules. Although this is a truth that is always timely, it has become even more so recently, because a badass remake is being produced for XBLA by Gameloft. That’s right, THE Gameloft. The ones responsible for major hits like Paris Hilton’s Diamond Quest and Grey’s Anatomy: The Mobile Game! However, despite the fact that they cranked out a lot of unmistakable shit, they were also responsible for the pretty-great XBLA releases Prince of Persia Classic and Uno, so hopefully it won’t be too bad. Not many details have been released, but I can say this definitively: it’s pretty. Look at this:
The character and background models look fantastic, so I’m willing to ignore the poor redesign and shading used on the stick and the ground. Hopefully that’ll be cleaned up before it’s released, although I’m pretty sure it won’t be. Who the fuck cares, I’m going to buy it regardless of its sticks.
The only problem I have with this release is that I was not personally informed. I bought all the action figures, for Christ’s sake. It’s the least they could do.
