If you follow the happenings of Xbox LIVE Arcade as religiously as I do, you’ll know thatLode Runner(1200 Microsoft Points)has been in the pipeline for a considerable amount of time. For whatever reason (certification-related?), it was held back, but the game will finally see the light of day on Wednesday of this week.
As was the case with the 1983 classic,Lode RunnerXBLAhas a full level editor, but this time around you may host matches over Xbox LIVE using your own levels and even download custom creations from the community. User-generated content in an Xbox 360 game? That’s unpossible!
There’s also co-op and competitive multiplayer functionality, as well as a mode in which you come back as an enemy should you be killed, which sounds intriguing. It’s a shame other games likeLeft 4 Deaddon’t allow you to become a zombified survivor upon dying, but I’ll take what I can get.
