Although its cover was blown a little early, there’s still new info coming out of the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas concerning Microsoft’s Xbox Game Room.
Microsoft’s press release concerning the new Xbox Live service says the Game Room will be a “place to relive the glory days of arcade games”, and over the next three years will see the release of “over 1000″ retro titles.
Ever wonder what happened to all those retro games that used to show up on Xbox Live Arcade? Yeah, they were being saved for this.

Better live up to that statement…
Disappointed in the price. 240-400 MS points. I expect a decent amount be free to play. A lot could even be old Arcade games that will move to the Games Room and discounted.

Thursday, January 7, 2010 at 10:03 PMYeah, I agree with formulated. They need to produce a controller with a decent D-Pad. I can’t tell you how frustrating playing a game like Pac-Man with it is.
