Best of the Next

In the meantime, Microsoft and other third party publishers are already planning to release a ton of games for the service, from space shooters like Wing Commander Arena and Battlestar Galactica to classic ports like Disks of Tron to original titles like Castle Crashers, Undertow and Happy Tree Friends. It doesn't look likely that Microsoft will give up its lead in the console downloadable game race anytime soon.

Prowler Ballad

Wing Commander/Origin artist Sean Murphy was kind enough to send me hard copies of the Prowler artwork he scanned for an article several weeks ago... and there was even a previously unposted sketch! The image below seems to be the layout for a base of some sort - it looks similar to the sort of maps done for the original Privateer. You can find the original Prowler article Sean wrote for us here, along with many other character and mech designs!
