Every time there is a post about something new some nerd comes in here and say great but my 360 died or red ring of death or some horse crap like that. Man its getting old.

I'm so glad I tried these demos first. WC Arena: My god this is the worst arcade title I've played. The areas are bland, the graphics might be called 3D but they sure look like enhanced 2D sprites, the gameplay is clunky and repetitive. You get to play on a single plane/single elevation, sure you can do loops and rolls, but it always returns you right back to the same single plane/single elevation. Every game was the same.. everyone converged on one place, spammed their weapons, killed some things, died, respawned and then converged on the same one place. BORING. Super Contra: The borders are an eyesore and I don't know about anyone else but for me the game played choppily and I'd frequently die to invisible 'bullets'. Not picking up any of these offerings. Bring on the new Sega Vintage titles!

I have no idea what that game was, but it most certainly was not Wing Commander.

Its almost like EA doesn't know what to do with a game that doesn't have a year in its title. (... and even then ...)

I love Super Contra, but I agree with the comment about borders, they're just annoying (and in Super C's case) ugly as hell. Although this is Digital Eclipse we're talking about so I doubt they'll still do anything other than release these classic arcade games with minimal effort. Wing Commander is just trash though. Gameplay reminds me of Subspace, which was a freeware game on the PC. It's just as I called it though, an excuse to use the Wing Commander IP to sell a mediocre game. Good going, EA.

Wow! Arena is the worst Live Arcade game yet. This is a disgrace to the good name that is Wing Commander. Shame on you EA and Microsoft for releasing crap like this under a good name.

I don't remember the ships in the old Wing Commanders only flying left and right within the confines of some space station fences. Seeing the enemies within your limited top down view range seems to be more about luck than skill really.

I tried out the demo for Super Contra earlier, this morning. I really enjoyed it, and will probably buy it later on today!

WingCommander is a piece of crap... sorry to say it so drasticly, but alltogether it is just a rip of that is supposed to cach old WingCommander Fans like me. It has NOTHING in common with WC but some spaceship shapes. Irt is a completely different game, it is not much fun and never ever deserved the name Wing Commander. Shame on the programmers...

I think I will try out Wing Commander but will definately pass on all thing's Konami... They seem to love to throw their garbage on the 360 while giving their quality titles to the PS3.

YOU GET NO MORE MONEY FROM ME KONAMI!

If you want the Dynasty Warriors Gundam demo, just play Dynasty Warriors 5 and imagine that everyone's a robot...

Are there really 75 games out now? I have 61 and thought I had only passed on a few, so I guess I'll have to go through and double check the number available.

To those who claim (because for all we know, they are bored people from Three Speak) to have bought the title and feel ripped off- what did you expect when you don't try the game before you buy it? MS gives you the option to play a demo of every arcade title, so you have no excuse. You probably buy cars off of eBay too and then are shocked when the car turns out to be a lemon. You get what you deserve.

Ouch - what a mess Wing Commander is - and to think for the first time ever I spent 800 points without trying the demo first, if I had done I would never have bought it...it is without doubt the worst Wing Commander title there has ever been and should be ashamed to carry its name.
