Available today (Wednesday or what we like to refer to as hump day) on the Xbox Live Arcade are two brand new games for you to try and possibly buy. First up is Atari's 400 Microsoft point remade classic Battlezone, which comes complete with a graphical overhaul, Xbox Live multiplayer support and so much nostalgia it'll make you get teary eyed. Also joining Battlezone on the XBLA today is the 800 Microsoft point Rocky and Bullwinkle that includes over 100 "micro-games" to enjoy with up to twelve players who can join the fun locally in the game's Hot Seat mode. Have a happy XBLA hump day!Read - Battlezone

Well, before I knew about the 100 micro games I thought Bullwinkle would be a total bust. If they are 100 pretty original mini's that might be neat. If there are 20 variations of 5 of them, then that's a shame. I actually try the demo now though.

Despite what the interwebz are saying about R&B, I really enjoyed it this morning. I was flailing my arms like it was Totemball all over again. Except without the suckage. :)

Battlezone reminds me of that old Spectre game on the Mac, it looks cool. Definate try for me.

Rocky and Bullwinkle was kind of fun. It's well presented, although obviously the first "stage" is going to be really easy. It does get harder as you level up, but since it's just a demo it's hard to say how difficult it will get.
It's not as good as Wario Ware, but it seems to have potential. It's nice to see something that doesn't have a direct comparison on XBLA yet. Unfortunately it wasn't so amazing that I am willing to drop the $10 on it.

I wasn't so impressed with Battlezone.
Just because it is an Atari game, does it really mean they have to use the same menu set-up for every game that hits the arcade?
Full Throtle mode? I didn't get Tempest and I wont be getting Battlezone even for 5 bucks.
Bring me T-Mek to the arcade.
Thats a real Tank game.

What I'd like to see is either a ported or new Mechwarrior game. If porting, then for XBLA; if new, for DVD retail. Some multiplayer with futuristic mechanical behemoths would be tons of fun. I think MSFT still owns the studio, or were they just the publisher for the last two Mech games?
