Meteos Wars and PowerUp Forever on XBLA this Wednesday

by Richard Mitchell on Dec 8th 2008 2:15PM

Looks like the rumor was true, as both Meteos Wars and PowerUp Forever are officially heading to Xbox Live Arcade this week. Meteos Wars is an XBLA version of the Q Entertainment puzzler title with expanded multiplayer (including Xbox Live play), while PowerUp Forever is a shooter from Blitz (the folks behind SpongeBob Squarepants Underpants Slam) and published by Namco Bandai. PowerUp Forever features procedurally generated environments, a unique "growth mechanic" (whatever that is) and, get this, power-ups.

Both PowerUp Forever and Meteos Wars will be available this Wednesday for 800 points each.

From what I've seen in videos, your ship in PowerUP Forever gets bigger as it increases its gun power, etc. So I guess the idea is to keep powering up, getting bigger and getting a big score which obviously makes it harder to dodge things.
