Death Tank (XBLA)

Cult classic Death Tank will be remade for XBLA. The project will be overseen by the original developer of the game, Ezra Dreisbach.

For the uninformed, Death Tank was an easter egg game hidden in the Sega Saturn ports of Exhumed (Powerslave) and Duke Nukem 3D. It's a multiplayer versus game, that is not unlike Artillery, Gorillas or Scorched Earth, except with one key difference -- battles are all done in real time. It's really simple to grasp, but it has a lot of subtle depth to it (especially when using the hover jets).

Interesting. Quickly looking at the trailer, it looks a bit like Worms. Is that off base on my part?

Anyway, it looks promising.

It looks similar, but it plays very differently, since

Ah. Hard to comprehend what was going on in trailer due to me just paying attention to nice graphics.

I've bought shittier games on XBLA so looking forward to this.

I use to play this game with friends back in the day, its pretty good especially the blitz rounds, but It'll wear off quite quickly unless they make big changes. Not seen the trailer.
