Variable match options: Play on an icy or plasmic surface, increase or decrease the ball speed, or simply put an electrical charge on the baselines for a shocking new twist on the old-school sport.





It sorta snuck up, but its now available. Tried the demo and I thought it was pretty good, not 800pts good though.

Tried out the demo, nothing really too spectacular.

I bet it's a bit more fun against real people, though.

Yeah, from the title I thought this was going to be along the lines of that DOA Volleyball game.

Major Nelson took the info off his blog page this afternoon. Must have pulled the game.

I'd rather wait for Pirates VS Ninja Dodgeball anyways.

Ah, okay. I figured such. I just wanted to be sure it wasn't hidden under some mistitle. Thanks. :D

When I saw "Dodgeball" in the thread title for the July live stuff thread, I assumed it was Pirates/Ninjas.

Woe is me.

Game pulled...I thought it was weird to see it early, it wasn't supposed to come out till next week.

I thought it was weird to have 3 games come out. MUST HAVE 2 GAMES ONLY!

Anyways, the game wasn't that great, neither was the crosswords (didn't play fantasy football), so it was a shitty week.

It looked and felt like a 400 point game... I don't see myself getting $10 play time out of this so I'll have to pass.

It was still up there the last time I was on LIVE...this morning at 4am. It was decent, the demo was too short though.

I played the demo and this is no Super Dodge Ball. This feels cheap and more like Breakout or Pong than dodge ball. I really did not enjoy the demo. Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball looks more promising and enjoyable.

It was supposed to be out in "Early 2008." Other than that, I can't find a set date.

Wow. That may have been the worst XBLA game I've ever played. Although nothing will ever beat Yaris, this came close.

They have some balls charging $10 for this game.
