Xbox Live Arcade, ever the service to indulge the inner
omni-directional shooter fan we all obviously have, is getting another dose of run-one-direction-while-shooting-in-another this week – with an extra-special added bonus.
Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 (800 MS points) is just one of several Capcom retro resurrections hitting Live this year and provides a highly stylized new take (with three-player coop) on the arcade classics
Commando and
Mercs. Of course, that added bonus we spoke of is a "golden ticket" into the
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix beta, which will be available for download on June 25 to anyone who purchases
Commando 3. Is that a deal anyone can pass up, Ryu? "Sho-you-can't!"
Wolves (or shooting) not your thing? Voltex (the developer, not a Ukranian pop star) has you covered in ah-dorable little frogs this week with
Frogger 2 (800 MS points). This spiritual successor to the coin-op classic (also available on XBLA) features new levels, new artwork, and what no XBL game can be without: a co-op mode (for up to four players, in this case). This release should at least make the parents of young'ns hoppy.
