The very nice Mutant Storm Reloaded was one of the Xbox Live Arcade launch titles, but was a bit in the shadow by the awesome Geometry Wars. The developers at PomPom Games still must have been satisfied with the sales since they are now working on a sequel exclusively for 360. Check out these first screens.

It seems all is not over however, as now we see even more games added to help expand the ever-growing list even more. In typical fashion we’re here once more to bring you our thoughts on the latest additions, and give our views on whether it’s worth the time, and effort, to head back to these past titles once more."

Oh wow how fast they keep adding them it's so good to know all new Xbox consoles are gonna carry all these games with better graphics it's amazing
Backwards compatibility should be a standard going forward. There should be no reason it can't be done. I expect the PS5 to play all PS4 games. We already know that's going to be the case with Xbox 5.
It’s hard to believe in 2015, but the choices for twin-stick shooters a decade ago weren’t so much limited as nearly nonexistent. Smash TV, Total Carnage and Robotron were only playable by emulation, with the latter having had an attempt at reviving the name on PS1 and N64. Llamatron had been made freeware and was playable through Atari ST emulators, and Geometry Wars was a hidden bonus in Project Gotham Racing. It was pretty dire, but then Mutant Storm showed up as one of the earliest Xbox Live Arcade games and started to turn it all around.
Revisiting the dawn of downloadables. Xbox 360 changed the way console gamers get their fix by introducing Xbox Live Arcade games to the mainstream. Sure, the original Xbox had a rudimentary online store that was launched via a mail-order disc, but Xbox 360 made it easy by integrating a Marketplace into the user interface. Believe it or not, its decade anniversary is this year and I made this list to celebrate.
seriosuly, I am not laughing. I'm not.
anyways, i loved the first one. i think its better than geo wars is some aspects. who knows, mayb this will be the next arcade game we get.
Hopefully Live Multiplayer this time.
