XBOX LIVE ARCADE WEDNESDAYS – WING COMMANDER ARENA & SUPER CONTRA
It’s another double feature week in the Xbox Live Arcade as Wing Commander Arena and Super Contra should be available for purchase by the time you read this.
Wing Commander Arena is an original game from Electronic Arts set in the Wing Commander universe – so those of you expecting a remake of the original Wing Commander are going to be in for a bit of a disappointment. From what I know of this one, it has both a single player mode as well as support for multiplayer dogfights over Xbox Live with up to 16 players. I’ve heard mixed things about the game, so I’d highly recommend you download the demo prior to making any purchase decision about Wing Commander Arena.
In addition to the game itself, StarSoldier Magazine, a downloadable instruction manual done in the style of the classic Wing Commander manuals from back in the game’s PC heyday is available on the game’s Xbox Live Arcade product page. Be sure to check it out.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not excited at all about our next arcade offering. Super Contra was never a favorite of mine in the arcades, and I doubt anything will change now. As with it’s predecessor Contra, it’s essentially a 2d scrolling shooter, though there are some levels that switch to a more free-form top down format.

While I passed on last week’s offering Yie Ar Kung-Fu, I did pick up Bomberman Live, and I’ve got to say it’s an excellent rendition of the game – Bomberman fans should not miss it. However, since the Bomberman series tends to be one people seem to either love or hate, be sure to download the demo if you’re unfamiliar with the series.

While I passed on last week’s offering Yie Ar Kung-Fu, I did pick up Bomberman Live, and I’ve got to say it’s an excellent rendition of the game – Bomberman fans should not miss it. However, since the Bomberman series tends to be one people seem to either love or hate, be sure to download the demo if you’re unfamiliar with the series.
XBOX LIVE ARCADE WEDNESDAYS – WING COMMANDER ARENA & SUPER CONTRA
It’s another double feature week in the Xbox Live Arcade as Wing Commander Arena and Super Contra should be available for purchase by the time you read this.
Wing Commander Arena is an original game from Electronic Arts set in the Wing Commander universe – so those of you expecting a remake of the original Wing Commander are going to be in for a bit of a disappointment. From what I know of this one, it has both a single player mode as well as support for multiplayer dogfights over Xbox Live with up to 16 players. I’ve heard mixed things about the game, so I’d highly recommend you download the demo prior to making any purchase decision about Wing Commander Arena.
In addition to the game itself, StarSoldier Magazine, a downloadable instruction manual done in the style of the classic Wing Commander manuals from back in the game’s PC heyday is available on the game’s Xbox Live Arcade product page. Be sure to check it out.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not excited at all about our next arcade offering. Super Contra was never a favorite of mine in the arcades, and I doubt anything will change now. As with it’s predecessor Contra, it’s essentially a 2d scrolling shooter, though there are some levels that switch to a more free-form top down format.
