Fresh off the success of their NBA Jam revival, EA Sports has decided to throw another Midway classic our way in NFL Blitz. The original stormed into arcades and homes almost 15 years ago, and was updated bit by bit through to the previous console cycle before losing its NFL license due to its over the top violence, turning into Blitz the League and adding complexity as it shifted into the current gen, losing its way. Fortunately EA saw fit to turn back the clock, gain back the NFL’s blessing, and deliver a refresh true to the game’s roots.
Today, Ubisoft announced that I Am Alive, a believable post-apocalyptic action-adventure game, is coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade House Party for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system on March 7, 2012.
I Am Alive follows an everyman’s journey to find his wife and daughter, who were lost during the “Event.” A year later, he finds Haventon, his hometown, in shambles. Buildings are destroyed, toxic ash fills the streets and society has been torn, causing inhabitants to take all necessary actions to survive.
In I Am Alive, players will be challenged by both the environment and the enemies. Stamina and resource management are key when being exposed to deadly atmospheres and scaling enormous buildings in search of supplies. The unique combat system requires players to utilize intimidation – cowards are easily swayed with an empty gun, while other enemies will put players to the test.
I Am Alive will be available for download for 1200 Microsoft Points on March 7, 2012. For now check out these new screenshots and final trailer for I Am Alive:
