Be a part of an elite insectoid military force next week, when NinjaBee introduces Xbox 360 avatar support for strategy title Band of Bugs, along with an entirely new game released as DLC. More »
My opinion of the game aside, people are really digging Ninja Bee’s Xbox Live strategy game, Band of Bugs, with its level editor allowing them to create and share levels with their friends. Once again the company is rewarding the stalwart fans of the game with an expansion pack – and this is one I may need to check out myself. The expansion is called Ninja Sticks of Fury, and adds the world’s most deadly assassins to the mix. Players will guide a Ninja named Vail and their band of mercenaries across the snowy mountains beyond the insect kingdom in order to thwart a mysterious group of evil doers. The pack also introduces the snowy terrain type to the level editor so players can create their own winter wonderland to kill each other on. The expansion is now available via Xbox Live Marketplace for a measly 250 Microsoft points. Happy ninja-ing! More »
While I may not have been too fond of NinjaBee’s Band of Bugs on Xbox Live Arcade, the game has garnered a nice little following thanks to its easy to pickup strategy gameplay and user-created content via the in-game level editor. Today NinjaBee announces its newest expansion for Band of Bugs, entitled Red Kingdom, which shifts the focus from the Western Kingdom to the Southern Kingdom, including 10 new missions, new heroes, an extended level cap, two new units (artillery and cavalry), and of course, more achievements. To celebrate the expansion’s release, NinjaBee is holding a level design contest. Design your level, upload screens and a description to the forums at www.ninjabee.com, and you could be the winner of 4,000 Microsoft Points and a special NinjaBee t-shirt. Even though I dislike the game I might have to give level designing a hand to satiate my need for ninja paraphernalia. More »
