The galactica game brings an experience that is out of this world!

 

Commanders: AotG also hitting XBLA this week

We knew Discs of Tron was headed our way this Wednesday, but it will also be accompanied by Commanders: Attack of the Genos, a turn based strategy game with 1930s art deco. Sounds intriguing? Hit the jump for more on both games.

Commanders: Attack of the Genos is a tongue in cheek game which requires players to devise a plan to stop the genos ( a super race) from taking over the world. It promises two unique endings, two difficulties and more:

  • Specialized attack units: Fifteen different units are provided to serve alongside your Commander unit. Use the units’ unique powers to conquer the Genos.
  • Single-player campaign: Fight fifteen different missions sprawling across three different landscapes, with two levels of difficulty for ease of play.
  • Multiplayer modes: Three intense multiplayer modes are included, allowing up to four players in Versus mode. Try the Team Play mode, or take on Skirmish with a friend on the same system.
  • Replayability: The game has two distinct endings to encourage replayability.
  • Retro-futuristic environment: The science-fiction setting features a gorgeous 30s Art Deco style. It’s a blast from the past into the future.

The game will hit worldwide (unless you reside in Japan or Korea) this Wednesday for 800 MS Points. This could well be worth it.

Discs of Tron also sees a release this Wednesday for 400 MS Points. Players attempt to defeat the evil Sark in an electronic battleground. Other features include:

  • Perfect recreation: Discs of Tron for Xbox LIVE Arcade is a perfect recreation of the classic arcade game based on the pioneering computer animated Disney Film.
  • Next-gen presentation: Authentic graphics, game play, and audio have been upgraded to take advantage of the Xbox 360 high-def graphics and sound (CD bit rate quality).
  • Multiplayer fun: The original arcade game was single player only. The Arcade version is the first version of the game with two-person multi-player functionality—co-op and versus.
  • Electronic battleground: Get transported to an exciting world of sight, sound, and energy!
  • Disc combat: Play as Tron and fling discs at Sark in an attempt to knock him off his platform. Sark has his own discs as well as two unique weapons—a chaser and super chaser making defeating him even more difficult.
  • Twelve levels: Beating Sark advances you to levels of even more chaotic platforming mayhem.

Japan and Korea again miss out on the title, but the rest of the world can join in the fun this Wednesday. Let us know what you will be downloading.

This “Commanders” arcade game looks like a decent attempt at a Command and Conquer-esque RTS. graphically it looks super corny, but I think that 4 player multiplayer might just rock for a mere 10 space bucks! Then again you can pick up Command and Conquer used now for about $25 so I’m not sure if the corniness is justified for the $10 in this game.
