News: My New Year's resolution is to play more XBLA games.
Microsoft has announced that the first game to be addded to the Xbox Live Arcade in 2008 will be Metal Slug 3. The arcade classic will be available for 800 Microsoft Points and it will be rated Teen.
Here's what else you may want to know about Metal Slug 3 if you've never experienced one of the series' fine shooters for yourself:
An update of the original arcade version, Metal Slug 3 is a run-and-gun video game updated with HD graphics and now features co-op multiplayer over Xbox Live. Metal Slug 3 provides gamers with various route selections within each stage enabling players to play over and over. Join Marco, Tarma, Eri and Fio, the four veterans in the Metal Slug series, as they hit the battlefield to stop General Morden from disturbing the order and peace that has begun to return to the world. Throughout the game, various vehicles called Slugs are made available to help players in battle and to complete the mission. The game features co-op gameplay for up to two players over Xbox Live. Developed by SNK Playmore, Metal Slug 3 will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated T for Teen by the ESRB.
We'll have more soon.
