You talking about Undertow?

Easy on this is worse than a lot of games' hard modes.

Arkadian Warriors and Gripshift added, along with a whole load of others :D I also tagged the Arcade Hits for you.

What about Xbox Originals? Do people want those added?

Sensible world of soccer is out ;)

Looks like metal slug 4 should be out this wednesday, jan 2nd for 800 points.

It should be fun with co-op online! :)

[Ji@nBing]

Yep, Metal Slug came out the other day and it's f'n awesome!! I've never played a MS game before, but I've been having a blast with it. Kind of like a pimped up Contra, with a great sense of humor. If anyone wants to hit up some co-op, my gamertag is in my sig.

while the extra features are a nice touch they should have done all the games included in the anthology (that is available on most recent consoles and handhelds) and released it as one big pack with an option to download individual games. maybe they plan to do the others and i can see why they would release them individually as at 800 points per game it would cost more to buy them all than it would to get the anthology on another console.

This week on arcade: Omega Five and Tron

Omega Five will be 800 points, while Tron will be 400. Both hit this Wednesday.

Boogie Bunnies this Wed (16th) for 800 MSP

Boogie Bunnies on XBLA on Weds

Microsoft has popped up in our inboxes with trumpets and balloons announcing the impending launch of Boogie Bunnies on Xbox Live Arcade.

Would you believe that it is due out on Wednesday, 16th January at 9am GMT for 800 Microsoft Points and comes with a demo and 12 unlockable Achievements for 200 gamerpoints? It would save me time.

What is Boogie Bunnies? It's an imaginative 3D puzzle game from Sierra Online, which - judging by the version we've played - is a bit like Bust-A-Move except you can go round the sides and it's all done up about rabbits.

Microsoft also took the opportunity this afternoon to remind us that Boogie Bunnies will soon by joined by Rez HD, Lode Runner, Brain Challenge (exactly what you think) and Poker smash (not what you think, actually - apparently it "incorporates gameplay elements found in today's most engrossing puzzle games and adds a poker twist to the mix").

Exactly when is still to be determined, but we will let you know when we do.

EVERYBODY, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

Download N+ now.

Seriously.

It's amazing.

I without a doubt agree, I downloaded the trial yesterday early evening and then bought it that night.

I absolutely love the game itself. It is amazing. So simple, yet so addictive and incredibly well made.

Highly recommended that if people only check out one Arcade title, that they heavily consider this one. It is IMO one of if not the best Arcade title ever offered.

[Huleboeren]

N+ is great!

Having played it alot on PC I can its alot different - not worse, but different.. its slower paced and overall behaves differently..

Multiplayer is great addition, especially coop - there seems to be an issue with lag and syncing each player - some times I see people blow up because they touched a mine....but they really didnt :p

Is there anyway to change slots in the lobby?

Me and my friends are playing but I always get the hard parts :(

Yeah there is a way somewhere, think I saw it, N+ is a great game but I need to try 4 player co-op, only done two and thats fun but it'll be easier with 4 player

Definitely. I wasn't sure how I'd like it using a 360 controller versus how it was on the computer, but it is by far better on the 360. Within 5 minutes of playing it I was already on my way to the "Unlock Full Game" option in the menu.

It took you longer than 5 minutes to complete the demo levels? :D

Still no one knows how to change slots in the lobby?

No, hence me using "within" since it was less than 5 minutes :p
