Asteroids hitting Live

News - Tomorrow, tomorrow....

Sensible World of Soccer clearly isn't quite ready yet, Microsoft revealing that tomorrow's Xbox Live Arcade release will be Asteroids from Atari, which will hit the download service from 9am GMT tomorrow morning.

What's on offer? Well, this week we'll be treated to a double pack, containing the original Asteroids, and Asteroids Deluxe. This download will cost 400 Microsoft Points, and features retrograde gameplay of the antique variety, players piloting a tiny ship and blowing up increasing quantities of asteroids.

A frenetic 'throttle monkey' mode will provide a stiff challenge for elite players, while we also hear talk of HD visuals that are sure to look a treat on that new television you're buying yourself for Christmas.

Leaderboards and gamerpoints are also up for grabs. More shortly.
