Microsoft today announced that
Omega Five and
Tron will be released via Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, January 9 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PST). Developed by
Natsume, Omega Five features 3D environments, dazzling special effects, and massive battles, all in high definition. Omega Five is unique in that players can choose from multiple humanoid characters, each with their own unique special attacks and upgradeable weapons, which they can shoot in 360 degrees. Omega Five also includes a local co-op function in which a friend can join in on the aerial mayhem. Featuring the familiar gameplay from the original, Tron offers a four-part retro-futuristic test of skills, including racing light cycles, battling Sark's tanks, fighting to enter the MCP cone and dodging grid bugs. Tron offers both the original arcade game and an enhanced version with new graphics, improved sound and two-person multiplayer. Updated - new screens from
Tron and
Omega Five now uploaded in our gallery.
