A Real Arcade...
Coming Soon to a Living Room Near You
Of those of you who own an Xbox right now, how many use Live Arcade? Anyone? Bueller? Yeah, I thought so. You have to buy a hard-to-find disc to even access Live Arcade and then you have to play between $10 and $20 to play some rinky-dink game like Dig Dug. Yawn. That's all about to change, though: The Xbox 360 will have Live Arcade integrated right into the box, and it will pop up on the home page of the dashboard; hit a button, and you're in like Flynn. You don't even need a Live account... or a credit card to browse, buy, and play freely. But will there be anything worth playing? We're breathless with anticipation. We got the inside scoop from Greg Canessa, group manager of Xbox Casual Games, who says that while the lineup hasn't been offically set in stone yet, there will be a wide variety of titles and styles, from quirky independents to big names to spiffed-up retro classics from consoles of a bygone era. The Atari 2600, Turbo Grafix, Sega Saturn... even the Dreamcast were mentioned. Dare we dream? Next-gen Live Arcade sounds like the real thing.
