XBLA Wednesday: Discs of Tron, Commanders: Attack of the Genos

February 13th, 2008

discsoftron.jpgcommandersattackofthegenos.jpgNow available for download are this week’s Xbox LIVE Arcade releases: Discs of Tron and Commanders: Attack of the Genos at a cost of 400 and 800 points respectively.

I’m sure some will have fond memories of Discs of Tron, but I can’t say I’ve ever played it. Commanders appears to be similar to Advance Wars, if that’s your kind of thing.

Anyone planning on purchasing either of these games?
