And This Week's XBLA Title Is... Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

... "Band Of Bugs", a turn-based strategy game which is already winning rave reviews for its map editing feature. Why is this important? Because this announcement fills the next-to-last June Xbox Live Arcade release slot, leaving only June 27th available. As of last month, Wing Commander Arena was being prepped for a June release. From an early May interview with producer Sean Penney:

AMNTV: So when are we expecting the game to be on Xbox Live?

Sean: Well, we should see it real soon. Some time in June, late June.

Does this mean we'll be seeing Arena on June 27th? Not necessarily - EA has been very quiet in recent weeks... and final XBLA release dates are set by Microsoft rather than individual game developers. Still, it would be a good day to watch your Xbox Marketplace blade...

Here's an unexpected find discovered during an evening of digging through Photobucket - someone's scratch built plastic model of a CF-117 Rapier! This is the Rapier fighter seen in the Wing Commander movie, which is separate from the F-44 Rapier II seen in Wing Commander I, II and Arena. Who made this ship, which looks eerily similar to the X-Toys prototype? Their username seems to be Serenity2007 and they've built a similar cool models of several other famous sci-fi ships... including BattleStar Galactica. Whoever you are, wherever you are - awesome job on the Rapier!
