One ofmy favorite games of all time finally made its XBLA debut this week. I can't wait to get home today to try this out. This game took my quarters in the arcades.

I heard about this a while back. I hope the controls translate well to the dual analog gamepad layout.

I tried it last night, the controls are not bad. The graphics looks clean and the gameplay is spot on.

now maybe I can wish for a true remake of the franchise...

I'll download the demo and try it out. If I get the full version I expect a prompt butt kicking from you Mike!

I'm still waiting on a remake of the original Mechassault (Lone Wolf was a dog), or even ,the ultimate mech game - Capcom's Steel Battalion!

it's pricey at 1200 points, I might wait until they put this on the deals of the week. I would be happy to pay 800points but not at 1200.

This game does bring back memories.

I know, Mechassault on the 360 would be awesome.
