That's not the one 'with black and white elements and you have to switch ship/shot colours to the same colour to be able to shoot it' shooter is it? :D

It is and it isn't as good as people made out, just at the time people went over the top, still got my Dreamcast copy of it but don't touch it, unless you enjoy average arcade shooters with pretty visuals and sheer frustration it really isn't worth getting excited over.

One game that would absolutely rock XBLA is Rez, I just severely doubt we'll ever see that masterpiece again which is a shame seeing as hardly anyone played it and it was and still is the most off the wall and innovative shooting game I've played.

Powerstone/Powerstone 2 and Cannon Spike would be great co-op games and multiplayer games for those that like the online stuff. Sega should cash in, they deserve it for such a great console being robbed by the PS2.

Considering Space Giraffe's on the way I wouldn't rule out Rez turning up at somepoint.

Rez was trippy. Some good titles lined up but Microsoft seem to be taking so long to release anything decent...

Have you seen Space Giraffe? That's pretty trippy and with a kind of Monty Python twist with sentences popping up like 'time for a nice cup of tea' and bizzareness like that. :D

I'll take that as a 'no' then.

GS:

"Electronic Arts waited for more than a year after the Xbox 360's launch to announce its first title for Microsoft's downloadable Xbox Live Arcade service, Boom Boom Rocket. The publisher appears to be doing more than just testing the waters, because today, barely a month later, EA announced its second Live Arcade game, Wing Commander Arena.

An all-new game developed by Gaia Industries (which is also working on Street Trace: NYC for Live Arcade), Wing Commander Arena drops up to 16 players in an arcade-style dogfight through space. The game includes a single-player mode and three multiplayer options (team, free for all, and duel), which EA promises will make it suitable for 10-minute sessions as well as 10-hour marathons. Players will be able to customize their ships and compete on leaderboards for flat-out frag counts, dueling stats, and high scores.

The Wing Commander franchise was one of developer Origin Systems' hit series along with Ultima when EA acquired it in the early '90s, but it has gone largely untouched for the better part of a decade. Wing Commander Arena will attempt to breathe new life into the franchise when it's released this summer."


Been wanting an Elite-style game with plenty of fighting so this is perfect!

:-(

I want a proper new wing commander game with lots of cheesey FMV. Not some cheap XBLA effort.

Seems to be new at-least: [URL]http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/sim/wingcommanderarena/news.html?sid=6166308&om_act=convert&om_clk=multimodule&tag=multimodule;picks;title;1[/URL]
