Darwinia rated by ESRB for Xbox 360 [update]
The all-knowing US rating overlords at the ESRB have declared cult favorite Darwinia is on its way to Xbox 360 with an E rating. The long-rumored console version of Darwinia is expected as an Xbox Live Arcade title.
The real question about the XBLA version of Darwinia is whether it'll incorporate Multiwinia, an announced multiplayer version of the game. For those who know nothing about Darwinia, the game oozes with geekiness as the player is tasked with saving the Darwinians, a colony of AIs living in old '80s servers under attack. No release date is attached to the project.
Update: Introversion confirms everything. Darwinia and Multiwinia will release together as one package called Darwinia+ on XBLA this fall.

This was an unbelievably awesome game. Hopefully it sells well on 360-- it didn't do quite as well as it deserved on PC.

Oh-- I've also tried playing this with a 360 controller. Surprisingly decent, about as good as you can expect from playing an RTS on a console.

Not sure about that rating. There is little more distressing than watching a little darwinians soul drifting off into the neon sky.

I'm looking forward to this. I've been intrigued by Darwinia for a while now, but I'm not really a PC gamer.
The N+ devs might be pleased, at the very least.

I see this on steam all the time and kinda wondered what it was all about. Maybe Ill check it out

I got it for $4... in GameStop.
My first copy was like $9.
I love Steam and all, but for older games a physical copy is always cheaper via amazon or something.

I've never played this game, but what is that Giant Wang of Light about to do to those people?

Set a new world record for "Largest number of people mushroom-stamped with one swing."

I know absolutely nothing about this game.
That said, I look forward to finding out what all the fuss is about.
