X-Men Arcade alive on Xbox Live
The six-person X-Men arcade game is arguably the best group player game in coin operated history. In an effort to revive the popularity of the early nineties Konami giant, Xbox Live is bringing the game back to its gaming system for a second go around.
Konami is currently working on the next big X-men game, and is hoping to see its release around Christmas of 2011 for the Xbox 360. The synopses travels like a classic X-Men game, featuring Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and other heroes battling against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, such as Juggernaut, Mystique and Pyro. Heroes will have to fight their way through Sentinels and other baddies to reach Island M and take down Magneto in yet another wild battle.
Xbox Live and PSN intends to have an online six-player game available by the end of 2010. It would still support four-player play without a virtual connection and will feature all of the heroes and villains fans have come to expect from the X-Men, as well as their interesting and unique fighting abilities and super powers.
