''Xbox live arcade has recently become home to a number of HD updates and re-releases of classic arcade titles, the success of each release varying, and the trend doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon as the latest title to hit Xbox live arcade is the classic 1992 Konami side scroller X-men.
Selecting from the familiar faces of Nightcrawler, Dazzler, Cyclops, Colossus, Storm and Wolverine players embark on a stroll through memory lane as they battle the forces of Magneto through 8 stages. Each stage ends with a battle against recognisable enemies such as The Juggernaut and Mystique.''
Pre-orders for the Arcade1up X-Men arcade game open on July 15, also includes Captain America And The Avengers and Avengers In Galactic Storm
"We may take digital downloads on console for granted nowadays but let's go back to when they became popularised and decide which platform offered the superior service." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums

A look back at a key moment in one gamer's life at the local video games arcade.
Ground Kontrol in Portland, OR. All ages till 4 or 5 I think and then 21 and over at night. Full bar, top floor is all pinball machines, lower floor is stand ups.
10 minute walk from my place downtown and I'll easily spend $20
Those parties were the best. I remember something similar where myself and a few friends finished Die Hard Arcade. Good write up. You have got me pining for the good old days
Back then it was about trying to get the top score and having fun hanging out with your mates and no one cared about how many pixels a game had
I remember plunking up to $20 into one of the arcade machines at the local Pizza Hut as a kid just to get to the end and beat this game. Sometimes $20 wasn't enough to get me to the end..
I want them to re-make the Spider-Man arcade game where the other players were Namor and Hawkeye.
