If you remotely like racing games, Outrun is a must own. It's everything from the arcade, man I loved this game back in the day. Looks awesome as well. Great title.

Does it make you stick another quarter in your Xbox if your time runs out before you get to the next check point?

Anyone know if you can play Outrun with a wheel? That would take me back to the Outrun/Crusin USA days in the arcade!

Fixed.

Outrun does seem pretty cool. Think I'm going to save my points for Lode Runner though.

Square Reveal 0 Day Attack On Earth

Square Enix have decided to try something a little different to everything else that they've been working on -- A twin stick shooter where you battle invading monsters.

0 Day Attack on Earth will take you to Tokyo, New York, Paris and many other locals as you destroy giant aliens threatening to destroying your home.

The game appears to use images taken directly from those cities, similar to what the PlayStation Network game The Last Guy did, and throws giant aliens in the mix. The game also allows up to 4 players to play online in cooperative modes.

Fatal Fury: Mark Of The Wolves Made Official

We got a glimpse of it thanks to the Korean rating board, but now it's official -- Fatal Fury: Mark Of The Wolves is Coming to the Xbox Live Arcade.

This fighting game was the last of the Fatal Fury series, released back in 1999 for the Arcades and Dreamcast. It's known for having pushed the Neo Geo to its limits, as well as being quite the quality title.

King Of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match Hits XBLA In 2010

Despite the fact that fans of The King Of Fighters have yet to enjoy the Xbox Live Arcade release of KOF '98 Final Bout, in true SNK fashion they've announced that in 2010 players will be able to experience King Of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match alongside it.

Lode Runner is up at 800 points ($10). Not sure if it's a mistake or not, but I grabbed it just in case

Don't like the way it looks graphics wise and the whole layout. Too many puzzle like games on xbla now, they need to expand to some old sports titles and some nice adventure games. Tired of these puzzle games isolated in little boxes!

But it's Lode Runner, which is an absolute classic. Some may even say better than Pitfall. (inside joke)
