MS should give us Tron as the free game! I'm not purchasing any games until I get word on what the free game will be! I wonder if they took that into consideration, as far as how it could affect sales of games. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's waiting.

Last night, I was going to buy an arcade game, but then I didn't becuase I thought "what if this is the free game..."

I know, but I'm hoping that I'm not going to be disappointed when the truth really does come out. So I was just being positive. Yeah... I know. :( Looks like we'll be getting Yaris 2.

But Yaris is third party, so nope! We may get a lame card game though...

So I'm really confused about Poker Smash. Is it poker? Looks like a puzzle game. Anyone have any info?

Poker Smash is a card game version of Tetris Attack.

What the crap were they thinking by not updating Trons graphics? Is anyone here so sentimental for the game that they'd pay to endure that?

The graphics are updated, although just barely. It looks like they're going the route of Midway's other arcade releases on XBLA... more or less matching the existing design, but adding more details and backgrounds. Robotron and Gauntlet did that too.
If you look really close in the shots, the cycles are more detailed and other sections feature backgrounds and higher color amounts.
It's definitely not really exciting or anything, but I guess it's better than nothing. It would have been cool if they did the cycle stuff in 3D or something like that free PC game.
