Two New Exclusive Titles Launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade out now:
Rez HD and Chessmaster LIVE
A brand new recreation of the
cult-classic shooter created by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Rez HD launches on
Xbox LIVE(r) Arcade for Xbox 360(tm) this week. In addition to Rez HD,
chess fans and newcomers alike will enjoy checkmating friends with
Chessmaster Live on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Both games were made available
on Wednesday, 30th January.
Rez HD is a frenetic, wire-frame adventure set to industrial
beats and rhythms that match the action. The story of Rez HD takes
players deep into the world's computer network where they must hack the
system, alter the visual output and take over the music, creating unique
rhythms and eye candy as they dig deeper into the cyberworld.
Developed by Q Entertainment (Lumines Live! and Every Extend
Extra Extreme), Rez HD for Xbox LIVE Arcade is a high definition
update of the original game with brand new elements such as new visuals
and sound effects. The game features five levels, each with its own
unique visual theme, style and musical track, as well as three modes,
including Easy, Main and Score Attack.
A downloadable version of Ubisoft's hit Chessmaster series,
Chessmaster Live allows players to test and tune their chess skills
against the AI or opponents of all aptitudes around the globe via Xbox
LIVE. Chessmaster Live features five original chess variants,
including a Message Chess option, which allows gamers to engage in
matches over the span of several days, weeks or even months. The title
boasts both beautifully crafted 3D chess sets inspired by luxury chess
board designer House of Staunton.
