Scott Pilgrim and PS3 vs. The Xbox 360 Community

It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that the incredible looking XBLA/PSN game Scott Pilgrim vs. The World will be a PSN exclusive.. For two weeks. That's right, Sony has landed the exclusive rights to 4-player online coop beat 'em up for a full two weeks before Microsoft can get it's filthy rich hands on it. This annoys me, because I wanted to be able to play the game on day one, and I'm sure as hell not going to buy it for PSN, because it's still not impressive enough for my cooperative cohorts to move away from what I think is the superior service, Xbox Live.

Well, apparently this article is moot. I finally got the memo that Scott Pilgrim vs. The World will not have online cooperative multiplayer on either XBL or PSN. Bummer!

E3: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: a movie, based on a comic book, that features Michael Cera doing martial arts.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: an old styled side scrolling beat 'em up which looks to be two player, with awesome pixel graphics, a sick chiptune soundtrack, and an underlying story of chivalry and love.

When I first heard about the game, I immediately wrote it off. How good could a game with tie ins to a Michael Cera movie be? Then I saw the E3 trailer.

Whoa.

This thing looks good, folks. It's not the most cutting edge in terms of graphics and technology, but it doesn't need to be. In the vein of Castle Crashers, good beat 'em up gameplay, retro styled graphics, and a slamming soundtrack will get you places. And yes, being an XBLA/PSN title, it will cost under $10. UPDATE: Yes, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has 4-player co-op. Can it get any better?

I'm sold, and you should be too.
