It doesn't take a crystal ball to see that six months from now Warlords will be plenty eligible for delisting. Let's just say that deathmatches have come along way since 1980. But if you choose to respectfully disagree, you can pledge your feeble support to give this Atari classic a permanent home in the XBLA catalog by plunking down a five-spot (400 Microsoft Points). Just remember, some games are better left to memory -- and paddle controllers!

As for Buku Sudoku? Well, there's a reason this is the "first and only" Sudoku game on XBLA. Leave the number crunching to the pencil and paper, and go shoot some more hookers.

I played that game last night, right outside my house, in real life.

MUCH bloodier than the game

Hahaha, when I lived in SF I could play that game RIGHT outside my house. But I never got around to trying it out haha

Haha, that happens nightly over here in LA on Plank Road. Jimmy Swaggart holds the high score.

Warlords is still as fun as I remember. But he does have a point about the lack of a paddle controller. C'mon, 3rd party companies! Offer a 4 set of wireless paddles for under $25. It will open up XBLA to the proper experience of Arkanoid, Tempest and Tron.

Dude, Arkanoid.... *digs through closet of games*

*cuts a line of Arkanoid and proceeds to tweak out*

Speaking of Tron I want a multiplayer light cycle only Tron game. I'd buy that.

and Kaboom!, man...don't forget about Kaboom!.

and Star Raiders - that one had controllers packed in that were like the paddle, but they had 360degree turning where the paddles only went so far in each direction. am i wrong about that? - killed many brain cells since then...
