Another retro classic has faced the rigours of a digital makeover and been flown to the shelves of the Xbox Live marketplace.

1942: Joint Strike on the Xbox Live Arcade will use a similar scrolling mechanism to its predecessors but will be based in a 3D world and although it will draw on the original games for gameplay and other effects it is an entirely new addition to the series.

Go! Go! Break Steady, released on Xbox Live Arcade today, is the first release from a Vancouver based independent games firm called Little Boy Games… good reviews… beat matching… hand drawn animations… hip hop… multiplayer

Another few tracks have been added to the Xbox Live Rock Band Music Store today… Three from the Nine Inch Nails and two from Shinedown.
