Weekly XBLA Update - 11/28/07: Asteroids & Asteroids

The turkey hangover trend continues at the Xbox Live Arcade, where today's siamese-twin replaces the usual healthy duo: beloved arcade classic Asteroids joins beloved deluxe arcade classic Asteroids Deluxe as a joint download for a modest 400 Microsoft Points.
Spaceship. Asteroid field. Filled with Asteroids. Don't hit 'em.
The visuals have been revamped for HD and a "throttle monkey" mode has been added as what sounds like an appeal to our ADHD-ravaged twitchy sides, but otherwise this is a sweet and simple moment of rest in an otherwise overwhelming release season.
Now go avoid some rocks!
Save the earth from a deadly deluge of asteroids and re-experience the beloved arcade classics “Asteroids” and “Asteroids Deluxe” on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Players control a spaceship in an asteroid field and shoot to destroy asteroids and saucers, all while trying to avoid a costly collision. Complete with re-mastered HD visuals and the whiplash inducing high-speed “throttle monkey” mode, players will be hooked for hours! “Asteroids” and “Asteroids Deluxe” will be available worldwide as a joint download for 400 Microsoft Points and are rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.
