At CES today, Microsoft has confirmed Lode Runner will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade. The graphics appear to have been improved quite a bit from the original that I remember playing. Unfortunately, they haven’t given any details on price or release date.
This is one of the few retro titles coming to XBLA that I’m really stoked about. I loved playing Lode Runner back in the day. Hopefully it holds the same appeal when it comes out sometime in 2008.

Looks like we will be getting a free XBLA Game as compensation for the issues experienced recently on Xbox Live. There aren’t many details at this time, but we should expect to hear something more soon.

Amazon just dropped the price of Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged to $7 with free shipping on orders of $25 or more. A good way to pad your order if you need to hit $25. The disc comes with Geometry Wars, Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, Wik – Fable of Souls, Hardwood Backgammon and Outpost Kaloki X.
As of this morning, Metal Slug 3 is on XBLA ready to steal your 800 Microsoft Points. The game supports 2-6 players over Xbox Live and 2-4 players local, which is pretty sweet. Hit the link to read Major Nelson’s announcement.
