Working on (amongst other things) the game selector
this weekend.
To clear up some early confusion when we first mentioned we were doing Airburst for the Xbox 360, this is a completely new Airburst. We wanted to call it Airburst 360, but the lawyers pointed out we'd need to release another 357 versions of the game before we could get away with that. As a good chunk of Xbox owners won't have seen either Airburst or Airburst Extreme yet, we went with the easy option and just called it Airburst again. Mac users can think of it as Airburst 3 if they want :)
For those Xbox gamers that haven't heard about Airburst yet, it's an extreme sport played at high altitude. Each player sits on a raft of balloons and controls a bat. Razor sharp flying balls called bursters are then released and players have to defend their balloons while trying to burst their opponents to knock them out of the sky. Add in a whole bunch of powerups and different game modes, plus each character having an Extreme power to try and tilt the balance in their favour and that's Airburst in a nutshell.
For those of you that have played Airburst and/or Airburst Extreme, this version is all the best game modes from the first two (without having to play through the Story mode we added in Airburst Extreme to unlock them) with a whole new, written from scratch engine so we could tune everything for the 360 and its controllers (including a certain new controller with oversized buttons).
