IGN writes: "Yet another classic title is being released as Atari is again dipping into their cabinet of retro games to bring gamers Battlezone. Originally released in 1980, Battlezone puts players in the cockpit of a tank and sets them free to kill a myriad of enemy tanks and flying saucers. Now the classic from the '80s is hitting Xbox Live Arcade complete with multiplayer deathmatches online with up to four players total. Battlezone was simple gaming at its finest back in its heyday and we can say first-hand that not much has changed over time.
The original Battlezone could probably best be described as having a horrific framerate and a world painted entirely black and green, wireframe environmental models included. The new Battlezone retains the classic look and feel in the appropriately named "Classic Mode." Unsurprisingly the classic edition is totally untouched in making the port to Xbox 360, clunky framerates and all. There's the Throttle Monkey option for both the classic and evolved mode. Basically this just cranks up the speed and difficulty of the game to the max."
Another day and another Retro Arcade vs Retro Console video.
How did Battlezone convert to home console? Vector graphics were next to impossible to create on the the consoles from the 80's. So we take a look on how they did it and if it was successful.

Thanks for not making 10 different pages, A Way Out was definitely a surprise, my friend and I was playing through it and at the end we were literally going for the characters that we were playing as. Haha so it made that ending scene so much more better and gratifying when I won haha.
Haha, no prob! We avoid annoyances like multi-page articles so I'm glad you appreciate it.
A Way Out is phenomenal. A must-have for co-op fans. :D
@Leeroyw,
I didn't spoil anything, I just made it even more exciting for those who haven't finished to turn it on and play with someone they know haha. It's so much better when you're playing with someone you know and even better when you both are in the same room haha.
Because of your comment, I clicked through to the article and turned off adblock. We need more sites that respect us like this! Money Puzzle Exchanger is a pretty fun game, I agree!! I want to check out Railway Empire now.
Thanks, letsa_go! That means a lot. :D
Railway Empire is great fun and works surprisingly well on console. It's always great to see developers port games from PC in an effective way.
is culdcept worth the price of admission? also is the limited edition worth spending the extra cash on?
and just a background on my preferences: i love card games (think hearthstone, yugioh, pokemon, etc), and board games (think parcheesi, monopoly). From what i've read this is a match made in heaven, but opinions would be much appreciated
I'd say definitely check it out! Not sure what's in the limited edition but the game itself is for sure worth it.
Yakuza 0, Gravity Rush 2.
But to be honest since last gen there isn't a very underrated games as much as Vanquish and Falkore since last gen.
Do you mean Folklore? If so, we included that in our "Top 10 PlayStation 3 Exclusives That Deserve Sequels" list earlier this year: https://videochums.com/top1...
Great game! :D
i got all worked up when i saw the name Battlezone. what a let down. i was hoping for a new Battlezone game. the '98 remake was a great game and the sequel that came out in '99 is still one of my favorite games. maybe this is a build up for a 3rd installment. one can only hope.
i don't think the gameplay of Battlezone would work on the 360 though. BZ/BZ2 were both sort of a FPS/tank driving/RTS combo that wouldn't work on a controller and ps3 is the only console that has mouse and keyboard support so a ps3/pc release would be awesome.
