I love all these games that are throwbacks to the classics. I wonder if that means I'm getting old....hmmmm...anyways, here is the press release on Explodemon!. LONDON, ENGLAND: PlayStation 3 owners! Hide your treasured possessions and cover your pets in bubble wrap, because Explodemon! will be hitting PlayStation Network with a bang this Q4.
Explodemon! is a 2.5D platform action game brought kicking and screaming into the HD era. Influenced by classic Japanese games from the golden era of the SNES, players use Explodemon’s self-destructive nature to combat enemies and fly through the air, all the while solving a huge variety of physics-based puzzles (and, naturally, causing incalculable collateral damage).
When the peaceful planet of Nibia is attacked by the malicious Vortex forces, the fate of the star system is thrust into the one pair of hands it shouldn’t be: the malfunctioning Guardian robot Explodemon. His comic quest to repel the onslaught and restore peace will take him across three distinct planets over twelve levels, with new abilities and gameplay mechanics introduced throughout.
“We’re really excited to finally be able to reveal Explodemon! to the world,” explains design director Jonathan Biddle, from a blast-proof bunker somewhere below the surface of Nibia. “The game is chock full of gameplay nuggets carefully mined from the greatest titles ever to grace our joysticks. Whether you’re experiencing its intense combat, head-scratching puzzles, or classic platforming, you’ll find we’ve combined all of these elements into an addictive and elegantly balanced package.”
Explodemon! is unrelenting, hard-core brain-tickling action for those who grew up playing platformers, as well as those who’ll discover just how awesome they were.
THE SKINNY (OR TL;DR)
- Explodemon! is a 2.5D-styled platform game with a physics-puzzle twist
- It’s out Q4 2010
- It’s influenced by the classic Japanese games of old
- It’s more than a little bit funny, or so our mums said
- It’s really rather special and you want to write nice things about it

I'll be honest I rarely play anything on Xbox LIVE Arcade, nothing peeks my interest. However I heard about LIMBO a few months ago and saw concept art and screenshots and was very intrigued. Got my copy a few days ago and I just couldn't put it down.
'll be honest though, the game is creepy. One specific example would be when you had to cross a specific body of water that had no ledges or anything to jump on. At that point you see a person walking towards you and they walk right into the water and drown. You can now cross that body of water since they are floating on the top. Spiders, faceless enemies, and dark dense landscapes all add to the creepiness factor. I read in another review a few days ago that you should play alone in the dark. Turn off Xbox notifications and play.
If you're on the fence about this title, or you're just not sure, Go read my LIMBO Review.
