(Page 1)2. Wing Commander Arena could be pretty good, Super Contra looks like a pass for me... unless they've improved the horrid side-box graphics for people playing in letterbox. Damn those were ugly.
COMPLETELY OFF-TOPIC:
You guys should spread the word about the Shadowrun title update. I got it last night, and my party and I were finding games inside of 20 seconds. Which, you know, is kind of a big improvement over the FIVE MINUTES or more it used to take. Pretty great.

3. Wing Commander is really fun. However, I can't seem to get the Live leaderboards to work yet. THey come up, but there are no names on it.
Those one on one duels are CRAZY

6. Yuck. Wing Commander Arena is so completely untrue to the Wing Commander series. It sucks! It's more like Atari 2600 COMBAT than Wing Commander... Only COMBAT had better controls.
How could they screw up something as tried-and-true as Wing Commander? It's an in-the-cockpit dogfighting flying sim! Turning it into a top-down shooter was a colossally bone-headed move.
Avoid if you're looking for Wing Commander. Download if you're looking for yet another XBLA top-down shooter.

7. WC Arena is simply awful and a disgrace to the series. Even by XBLA original title standards, the graphics are lackluster and the gameplay stinks. There is only a single plane of movement, which totally defeats the concept of piloting a spacecraft.
Good-bye, classic Wing Commander games of yore. You will be missed.
