”Sierra Mounts XBLA Lost Cities Expedition
Lost Cities is is a card game designed by prolific traditional game designer Reiner Knizia. Released in 1999, the simple 2-player game involves players mounting expeditions to various lost cities around the world. Using a simple, 60-card deck, the game's fast-paced action is perfectly suited for a video game, and Sierra Online agrees. They are bringing Lost Cities to Xbox Live Arcade this spring for the relatively standard price of 800 Microsoft points, and they've released a few lovely little screenshots to whet our appetites. Not the most exciting-looking game, but non-traditional card games are general more about compelling gameplay than looks. Radical concept, I know!
Sierra Online Announces Aces of Galaxy
Today Sierra Online announced another XBLA (and PC) space shooter, following their horrid rendition of Battlestar Galactica (which, admittedly, is not out yet for final review but looked bad at E3). It's called Aces of the Galaxy and it's a third person, behind the ship shooter that looks at least nominally better than their first two attempts at blowing things up in space. A co-op mode will allow you to play the game with a friend. And yeah, we'd pay a few bucks for the experience when it hits this winter.
They announced some other stuff too that we just had no interest in, so we'll put the press release after the jump.
