Xbox Gaming in South Africa

It's, like, Japanese dev reunion day on XBLA. We've got the Square Enix-published Death by Cube, and Konami's retrotastic Vandal Hearts prequel, Flames of Judgement.

So, Death by Cube in the blue corner then...

DEATH BY CUBE is an exhilarating action game in which you must take out endless hordes of enemies, while avoiding the rapid barrage of their fire that envelopes the screen. Take advantage of your shooting, as well as "dash" and "shield" abilities in order to clear each level and gain the medals which are awarded according to the score you achieve. By using the chips gained from completing levels, you can upgrade your character and focus on shooting, or on other abilities. Upgraded characters can also be used in the multiplayer modes, where up to 8 players can battle it out at the same time. DEATH BY CUBE has 3 types of multiplayer mode - "Death Match", "Base Battle" and "High Score Scramble" - so you can compete with your friends using whichever rules you like.
