At the Microsoft Press Conference at E3, Epic games announced their next Xbox 360 project.  The game is called Shadow Complex, and will be a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade game. 

The preview footage showed a 2D action scroller with gorgeous backgrounds and some nice looking foregrounds as well.  It looks a bit like a brand new version of Rolling Thunder, the old arcade shooter, and there’s nothing wrong with that.  Epic head honcho Cliff Blezinsky explained that there are tons of different weapons, many of which will influence the environments around you, like a foam gun that lets you freeze enemies or build steps to get to new areas.

I’d love to cover this one more, but the Microsoft Press Conference is dropping bombs all over the place, so I’ve got to move on to the next thing.  God I love this week.
