Play Digital sets its sites on a new arcade release for Xbox Live, Omega 5. Katharine, your video host, shows you a new original game with old -school Japanese arcade spirit. Although not for the weak of heart or the easily frustrated, this game should be a hit with hardcore gamers.
Shiny shiny awesome awesome!
Omega Five is one of a rare breed of Xbox Live Arcade games that isn’t a port or conversion – it’s actually original and new. It’s absolutely crazy, an old school-styled arcade shooter but with bonkers graphics that give you a serious headache.
There are definitely some weird quirks. The girl (Ruby) sounds a lot like Boobie in the character selection screen, which is rather apt given her ample figure. The dude, Tempest, has four hands but constantly looks like he’s… well, spraying enemies with something unthinkable.
Seriously. Watch. You’ll get the idea.
