Virtual On
Sega announced today that they are bringing their mech fighting game Virtual On to Xbox Live arcade later this Spring. The game will ship with 15 different robots, 10 arcade mode levels ,and 14 score attack stages. I remember having some fun with the original game and the one on one combat mode should be a lot of fun over Xbox Live. No price has been revealed yet but I have a feeling this is going to be in the 1200 point range.
