Double Vision – Double XBLA Releases Are Back

This week on the Xbox Live Arcade, we will have a double release featuring Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Battlezone! The interesting part though is that both games will make use of the Xbox Live Vision Camera.

Rocky and Bullwinkle shouldn’t be a surprise, since we unveiled the news that it was going to be released this week, but Battlezone was a surprise [well, we knew it was coming soon, but Atari didn't want to confirm dates with us]. Either way, Rocky will be released for 800 points, while Battlezone will get the standard retro price of 400 points.

Developed by Zen Studios and based on the popular cartoon series of the 1960s, “Rocky and Bullwinkle” on Xbox LIVE Arcade is a fast and fun party experience packed with more than 100 micro games. Eight playable characters from Frostbite Falls are back in the living room, including Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris, Natasha, Dudley Do-Right and many more. “Rocky and Bullwinkle” features five difficulty settings, as well as support for up to 12 players in local hot-seat mode.

The game takes visual inspiration from the 1960s with a decidedly retro art style, but the fun is as modern as it gets. In fact, cool cats who want to get up and move will enjoy 25 micro games that work with the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera. By moving around and expressing gestures – like rowing a boat or throwing darts – players can control the action in the game!

Atari’s “Battlezone” on Xbox LIVE Arcade adds exciting new multiplayer modes for up to two players both locally and over Xbox LIVE, including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. Plus, players can use the Xbox LIVE Vision Cam to challenge opponents on the battle field. Combine these features with new special effects for weapon firing, impacts and explosions and this revamped version of “Battlezone” is a must-have classic that fans and newcomers will enjoy.

To score points in “Battlezone,” players must shoot and destroy the enemy’s brigade including a standard enemy tank, supertank and a flying saucer.
