Trio of retro titles cleared for arrival on the Xbox 360 download service - bring on the particle effects!
Three new retro titles heading to Xbox Live Arcade have emerged this morning thanks to the very useful ESRB website which has cleared them for arrival on Microsoft's box.
Asteroids, Missile Command and Tempest are all listed for the download service, the first being exciting because we can't wait to see what kind of particle effects can be shoe-horned in, the second because we were still hammering it in San Francisco bar at GDC and the third... well, is Tempest.
Obviously there's no word on pricing or release dates yet, but will let you know as soon as we get any concrete details.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Asteroids... AND Tempest? AND Missile Command?
Nice.
ENOUGHT WITH THESE B.S. ARCADE TITLES, GIVES US SOME REAL ARCADE TITLES. THESE GAMES ARENT GOOD ENOUGH FOR 400 AND 800 MS POINTS :/
But these games are classics. I know I spent more than my fare share of MS points worth of quarters back in the day.
Man I respect your opinion but I have to disagree. I played the hell out of all three when I was a kid and I'm very much looking forward to these, particularly missile command. Just out of curiosity, which games would you like to see come out for XBLA? Cheers!
People talks like XBLA is like the holy grail for the online gaming service, but seriously look at this. It just like any other PSN and Nintendo VC services. Is this what you xbot really proud at?? Get PS3 or Wii, that's another world out there you haven't tasted yet.
