At this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Microsoft announced the spring release of Xbox LIVE Game Room, a virtual arcade where gamers will battle it out playing 30 arcade classics such as Centipede and Asteroids Deluxe.
“There’s a generation of people who grew up with a set of games like Centipede that are favorites,” says Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft’s Entertainment & Devices Division. “They look almost like casual, fun games today, (but) at the time they were high-end, edgy games. Game Room is the idea of bringing that back to the market and bringing that to a very broad audience.”
