Super Meat Boy Now available for Xbox 360. I was first introduced to the Meat Boy flash game in 2009, and man did it bring a tonne fun but also a tonne of frustration. I played, and played, and no matter how many times I died and kept having to start again I continued to loved the game. Now we are here, who would have thought the frustrating little platformer would have made it onto WiiWare, Xbox 360? I did. It was awesome when I began to read the updates, as the day grew closer until suddenly it was out! Super Meat Boy was on the Xbox 360, possibly my favorite console of all time! Then I realized I had no money, but that doesn't matter because I already know how awesome this game is, and how rich the developers will get from its frustrating gameplay! And I am here to tell you to get it! To get the game that is beyond Mario, and all of those classic platformers, the game that will end all other games. Super Meat Boy. You know you want some. Get some!
Super Meat Boy is a blast. Sadly it's one of those games I know will be looked down on for its difficulty. I find the difficulty reminds me a lot of recent "hard" games like Demon's Souls where you don't get frustrated because you know you were at fault, and you learn to get better through trial and error. I really like that about Super Meat Boy (though the IWBTG warp levels are serious BS). But yeah, this is sadly probably a game that'll only appeal to "hardcore" gamers simply because of its difficulty. but I'd encourage everyone to try it nonetheless. I definitely think this type of game style has been oversaturated since the creation of IWBTG and all the clones that followed, but Super Meat Boy definitely strikes a great balance with enough charm to keep players interested. Having said that though I am waiting for the PC version. There's no way in hell I'm going to play it on the 360 with that crappy excuse for a d-pad. I'll stick with more precise and worthwhile controls, thank you very much. /snob
I won to competition to advertise the game, and I won a free plush toy! Hehe. This is one of the things I did: http://twitter.com/#!/SuperMeatBoy/status/28569573582 I shall also be getting it on PC.
