TGS 08: Xbox Live Arcade Screenshot Explosion
TGS 08: Xbox Live Arcade Screenshot Explosion
Written Thursday, October 09, 2008 by Dan Webb

People that know me will be able to vouch for me on this one ... I'm not a fan of the Xbox Live Arcade. Don't ask why, I just rarely dabble in the whole nostalgia scene, but even I'm a little excited at playing Arkanoid again for the first time in what must be 10 years.

Other old skool gamers will also be happy to see the likes of R-Type and Space Invaders Extreme announced at Microsoft's presser yesterday.

Still no idea what I'm talking about? Just take a look at the screens below and if they take your fancy, take a look through the galleries for the rest.

R-Type - 12 new screens - Full gallery here.

 

 Meteos Wars - 5 new screens - Full gallery here.

 

Arkanoid Live - 9 new screens - Full gallery here.

 

Space Invaders Extreme - 20 new screens - Full gallery here.

sweet, some good gamers coming to XBLA. R-Type is always good, Arkanoid is a fun game, and Meteos looks good.

All of these look really boring. Enough with cheesy 80's remakes!!!

i like wii's virtual console a million times more than xboxlive arace

the wiis virtual consoles all old games bought back but they are mostly brilliant, the wiiware which is all new stuff is very good too, mostly,

i cant help but love playing all the original mario games, especailly mario world and mario 64, also the classin bombermans, and donkey kong country 1 and 2

but i dislike nooo achievments Noo online play for older games, and Nintendos way of doing things is /CRAP

I like your lack of punctuation and grammar!





We need cooler arcades. Castle Crashers was something new, most of the XBLA games I get are for nostalgic reasons.

Dont remember the original game of arkanoid but i have played and enjoyed myself on what must be remakes of the same game so will definitely be getting that one. R-type was probably the first shooting game my parents let me play when i was younger :D so that will be a must have and as for space invaders ive been playing that on my DS for a while now looks the same and it means using my 360 :D so definitely will buy.

Loving the look of R Type, also wonder how Meteos will transfer from the DS onto Live...

...would have liked to have seen a few MS7 and KoF98 screens tho.
