Retro Games Available every Wednesday on Xbox Live

Xbox, Xbox 360

If you haven't heard already, if you own a Xbox 360 you might be interested in Microsoft's release of classic retro games on Xbox Live Arcade Wednedays for download to Xbox 360. Each game will be made available each Wedneday. Already Frogger and Cloning Clyde have been released in previous weeks. This Wednesday it's one of many people's 80's favourites Galaga.

August 2 we'll see Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting, and on August 9, to top it all off the ghost muncher Pac-Man. Pac Man will contain a few enhancements over the original, and support multiplayer over Live. Yes, a bit of a deviation over the original arcade machine, but will be interesting to see how it comes across with the new generation system.

So if you have a Xbox 360, start loading up on Galaga Wednesday.

Sliced Comments: A good move to keep people subscribing to Xbox Live, and probably a growing trend with more and more releases to be offered online for subscription, or cheaper cost download.
