It's time again to step into the shoes (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/boxheadzw/) of the ruggedly cube-ish hero John Bambo; Boxhead (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/boxheadzw/) is back, baby! One of our favorite flash franchises gets a new installment with new enemies, placeable turrets and airstrikes!

Do you have what it takes to work for XGen? Check out our new jobs page (http://www.xgenstudios.com/jobs/) for more information.

Stargazing gets a little easier; Google Sky (http://www.google.com/sky/) is now accessible right from your own browser. Now you've got billions of pixels to pore over trying to find those little green men.

Ever want to meet Mario in real life (http://server01.xgenstudios.com/images/realmario.jpg)? Oh, Um.. Hrm.. right... I think that's just a little bit creepy actually.

Sweet. New News Thread.
That link scared the living daylight out of me, Robyn. Thanks for making my pulse skip at least 2 beats.
BAN REMOVED FTW.
And Happy St. Patrick's Day, Forums!

One of the qualifications is the ability to work with tight deadlines? I really hate to poke fun and be an arse, but since when were deadlines one of XGen's strong points? :-p

I JOKE!

Mario is creepy

This may not be on topic, but I showed my girlfriend Skye's avatar and she said he is hot. >_>

Holy crap. I will never look at Mario the same way ever again.

Too bad it isn't two-player. Me and my friend OWN at 2play.

I miss the good old days where Mario games existed before the Game Boy color. I actually have a Mario game from the game boy before the Color.

...

Nevermind.

No, I mean literally.

He looks like he didn't sleep for weeks, didn't take a shower etc etc..

Wait, what? He's RICH! He always steals Bowser's coins! And in Paper Mario he's a friggin' star!

The Mario Bros. can't be that rich if they can't even afford 2 seperate houses. I recall Mario and Luigi lived in a simple 3 room house and had a bunkbed.

Brotherly love?

The game is actually quite fun. The turrets are an interesting addition, even if there are far too many enemies to actually make an impact compared to the turrets. I also found the game is actually difficult, for once. I was able to get all the combo bonuses pretty quickly in the earlier games, I find that this no longer applies. Which is a good thing.

Maybe they like to sleep together...

AND what about paper mario? They say he was a celebrity in that game.. Explain dat!

In Boxhead, did you see the friggin' highscores? They must've been playing hours to achieve that score. Oh, and the barrels own.. The Devil has been doing my work for meh.

Do you have what it takes?

Anyways, the new Boxhead game isn't as good as I expected. Alot of the weapons have been taken out of the game, like mines. Although fake walls have been replaced with barricades (Which is awesome). Although overall the game is the best in the series.

Sweet. I can't wait to see who will be working for XGen. (I don't know anything about flash, so yeah...) That Boxhead game is pretty awesome. It actualy looks like the stuff on Rambo, so that's pretty nice....

Start on double enemies, plaqy on nightmare. Survive for 4 levels and your on all-time high scores :P

Me and my friend are number 20 on it, under jarod pellman.

We just use chaingun, airstrikes, and make a turret mortar and gun base with barricades all around.
