First Look: Omega Five

Looks like Hudson has more than just Bomberman Live! up their collective sleeves.  Xbox Gazette broke a story (in French) on the upcoming Natsume (you know, the Harvest Moon devs) developed, Hudson published Omega Five.

There are a bunch of images of the game at the site so check 'em out.  It seems to be a side-scrolling 2D style shooter but with 3D elements.  Machine translation of the page is pretty rough, but apparently the hook of the game will be enemies emerging from the 3D background and not just from the top and bottom of the screen like most side-scrolling shooters.

Based on the images available it looks like the game is close to completion but we never can tell.  (I said the same thing about Mutant Storm Empire six months ago...)  The article states it will likely cost 800 MS Points.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm in

I'm not gonna lie, I'm in the same boat as Hexx.

Coming from the Harvest Moon/Legend of the River King developers, I'd expect something a little more unique than a shooter (which XBLA has plenty of as is).
