The Speedball port is better than the original for anyone curious - the frame rate now twice what it used to be.

Personally though, I never liked the game much back in the day so this new version, improved though it is, did nothing for me.

E4 though, is addictive stuff.

Axiom Overdrive, a new game coming to XBLA in the next few months apparently

So... what is it? Looks like a top down, left to right shooter?

By the same folks as Wik as well so probably overly complicated

Commando 3 coming to XBLA (and PSN) this winter. 800pts for XBLA, and $9.99 on PSN.

3 player co-op by the sounds of it? Unless its 1UP, 2UP, 3UP...

[peeveen]

Can't recall a "Commando 2", to be honest, unless it's the revised version of Commando that was made for Germany, with all the Nazi's replaced by aliens.

[Kubrick]

I would guess Senjo no Okami II / MERCS was the 2nd "Commando" game

[Malc]

Anyone have any news on Quake 3 coming to XBLA? I'm getting impatient...

[John Beaulieu]

Mercs was the 2nd commando game ...

how to play e4

Cheers for that John - I'm really not feeling anything for E4 - I guess I just don't really get the game, but after reading that I'll give it another go.

[ChrisF]

This week's stuff: Battlestar Galactica and Exit. Both 800 points.

[Yoshimax]

Battlestar is tempting purely because it has the original design ships in there but I'll probably trial it first after the appalling (apparently - I didn't download it myself) Wing Commander.

[ChrisF]

BG will have to go some way to be worse than Wing Commander.

[Kotatsu Neko]

This week's stuff: Battlestar Galactica and Exit. Both 800 points.

Exit is an excellent game.

XBLA is on fire again at the moment. Now I just need Rez, Ikaruga, and Trigger Heart...

[Yoshimax]

Sensible Soccer would be nice too ><

And I'd like to see Rolling Thunder, Marble Madness and Bionic Commando sometime soon despite my constant derision of the "old stuff".

[peeveen]

To be honest, I've had enough of the retro stuff. The only one I can say I've wrung any real value out of is Tapper, though Time Pilot is still worth a play now and then. The rest are a nostalgic curiosity for half an hour, tops.
