Woot! For 800 MS Points you can now get your hands on Duke Nukem 3D for Xbox Live Arcade.

Duke Nukem, the politically incorrect action hero and ultimate alien ass kicker, defends Earth and its babes from alien invasion in Duke Nukem 3D. This is the award winning game that helped define the FPS genre, introducing unparalleled interactivity, and a main character that spoke. Take the fight to the aliens across 39 levels featuring Hollywood, Los Angeles, a moon base, and alien spacecraft. Innovative items like the Jetpack, HoloDuke, Shrink Ray, or Pipe Bombs allow you to fight the aliens in any style you want. Defeat the aliens, so Duke can get back to some R&R with a stogie, a warm belly, and a bottle of Jack.

Featuring: Eight-player cooperative and DukeMatch multiplayer, user clips, concept art galleries and Xbox 360 enhancements like controller vibration, bilinear filtering, motion blur and Xbox LIVE® Vision camera support.

Congratulations to Torpex Games for shipping Schizoid on the Xbox LIVE Arcade! The game is the first game to be made commercially available on the Xbox 360 that was built entirely with the XNA Game Studio. Not only that, but the game made Penny Arcade’s PAX10 list, too. According to the XNA blog, gameplay in Schizoid involves controlling red and blue ships and ramming them into enemies of the same color to destroy them. There are 120+ levels that can be played in either single-player or co-op mode. To learn more about the game or to see more screenshots, check out this page on xbox.com.

Schizoid: Available on Xbox Live Arcade

With a name like Schizoid how could you not play it. It will cost you 800 Microsoft Points.

Cooperative gameplay is redefined in the fast-paced and unique Schizoid! Control red and blue ships, ramming them into enemies of the same color to destroy them. But be careful, because if you hit the opposite color, you will be destroyed. Quick thinking and quicker reflexes help you seize victory, but sharp teamwork provides the best chance of earning gold medals along the way. Schizoid offers more than 120 levels of challenge, playable in either single-player or co-op mode, plus the brain-melting Uberschizoid hardcore mode, in which one player controls both ships!

Co-op gameplay to the max: No other multiplayer co-op game has such tight cooperative gameplay. The two players (or one player with a computer A.I. partner, or one player controlling both ships in Uberschizoid) must work together closely in order to defeat the hordes on each level.
Uberschizoid mode: For perhaps the most challenging and "brain-melting" challenge yet, try Uberschizoid Mode. Control both red and blue ships, matching them to each enemy color in order to succeed.
Tremendous graphics: The glowing, flashing, megabursting graphics add to the game's inherent chaos.
Xbox LIVE® play: Play co-op over Xbox LIVE and team up with players worldwide to see how far you can advance!

"Aces of the Galaxy" and "Roogoo" coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade tomorrow

Tina — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:21:00 GMT

Retro arcade space shooter “Aces of the Galaxy,” and enjoy a new type of action-puzzler, “Roogoo,” both launching on Xbox LIVE® Arcade this Wednesday 4th June, 2008 at 09.00.

Enjoy the frantic action of “Aces of the Galaxy,” an old fashioned arcade adrenaline-pumping shoot-em-up that allows players to save the Universe from the wicked Skurgian Empire. Players annihilate enemy ships with an impressive arsenal of upgradeable weapons including high-powered missile launchers, devastating torpedoes and the relentless chain gun. Battle intense waves of enemy Skurgians against a breathtaking outer space backdrop, and choose to fight alone or join up with a friend at home or via Xbox LIVE.

“Roogoo” takes puzzles to a whole new level. Help the Roogoo defeat their enemies, the evil Meemoo, in “Roogoo,” a new and innovative action based-puzzler with addictive gameplay. Players line up multiple platforms on different levels to allow shaped blocks to pass through and once enough stack up, that particular shape closes off. A simple premise becomes more complicated as Meemoos begin to obstruct players' paths and butterflies attempt to steal blocks away. Players must swivel, roll and boost their way through 45 puzzle-filled levels alone or with up to four friends in cooperative party mode play. For those with a more competitive spirit, “Roogoo” offers a two-player multiplayer mode over Xbox LIVE where players battle to solve the same puzzle and can build up attacks to defeat their competitors.

Where can I get theses games from?

"Aces of the Galaxy" will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points.
