E3 2007: War World Xbox Live Arcade
During the Xbox Live Arcade presentation of the Microsoft press conference, I saw this little gem. I had to do a double take as I couldn’t believe it was an Xbox Live Arcade title. Ubisoft and Third Wave Games are set to bring this soon. I can’t wait. I prefer original titles on XBLA and War World is looking great.

Most impressive. Looks like (apart from the HDR, high-rez textures, etc.) Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram for the Dreamcast. If it plays as nice, then it’ll be must-buy for me.

I have this on PC and it looks great and runs without a hitch. Small download too, only about 170 megs on PC.
