Wired: XBLA Round-Up: Pirate Booty, Mousing Around

Wired: "Capcom brings real-time strategy to XBLA with the pirate-themed Age of Booty, and from what I've played, it should please many. Play revolves around controlling your pirate ship -- followed by an AI companion -- around a map, as you plunder villages and try to blast away enemy ships. As you take control of villages, you start collecting resources that allow you to eventually upgrade your ship or the defenses of villages you control.

Playing alone is lots of fun, but multiplayer is where the game really shines. You can play either in 4-player split-screen or with up to seven other players online over 25 multiplayer maps. The demo gives you a 2-day timed access to multiplayer, but that should be enough to help convince you whether this is the game for you."
