If that little surprise you guys have is a copy of Wing Commander Arena, and I don't win it, I'm seriously going to start thinking you are conspiring against me. Sheesh.

Nope, not giving away a copy of WCA. It's something else.

Wing Commander III on the 3DO is STILL on my top 10 all-time games list. I somehow don't think I'm going to be very happy with this game. Like SONIC THE HEDGEHOG not happy...

Someday I hope we'll get another legitimate Wing Commander sequel. Space combat sims were a huge part of PC gaming for a long time. It kind of sucks that there haven't been any great ones since Freespace 2 was released 8 years ago...

@8,
Save the money on Golden Axe. You'll be done with it in 15 minutes, tops. Sonic is meh. But Bomberman is the most fun I've had with a multiplayer XBLA game since...well, ever, really. Take that, Uno!

Bomberman Live is a lot of fun. WORMS is still is the best XBLA game for me so far, despite the lack of weapons.

this is not a bad idea, I love it a flying game for xbox but i would have liked to see tie figher or x-wing to come on for arcade.

Dustin - I'm glad it's not a giveaway of WCA. I love these games - even though the first Wing Commander was released at the same time as Star Control II and drowned its sales out. I've played them all countless times (expansions and all with the first two). I've long mourned the loss of two genres (or aspects) of games:
1) Space combat. Others have tried, but unfortunately without commercial success.
2) FMV based games, such as the later WC games, or Access Software's much overlooked Tex Murphy games.
Can't get enough of either, but unfortunately there's just nothing out there anymore.

Dose this game have a campaign mode or is it strictly a multi player vs game?
Having the name Arena in it to me, implys no campaign.

Wouldn't Xwing vs Tie Fighter be great on the arcade?

Not sure on this one. I will check out the trial. It doesn't appear to have anything at all to do with Wing Commander.
