Darwinia evolving onto XBLA

Keep the little PC games coming, just keep adding +es and I'll buy them, lol.

Cool

**** AWESOME!

DEFCON!!!!

I didnt like it before. My sibling had more fun with it though. It won't suit everyone

Kool, if this is successful then maybe they?ll bring DEFCON to the xbox also.

sweeeeeet, bout time a small developer got some attention! and thank god its Introvision.

Whoa, Introversion is so cool. Nice games, for the people who like 'em :)

Introversion rock!

nice to see that a good game made by a small time developer will make it onto the 360 allowing console/pc owners to experience a game that they may have missed or completely ignored.

Introversion Software: "Three years on from Darwinia?s release on PC and we are really happy to confirm that we're working with Microsoft to bring both Darwinia, and our next title Multiwinia: Survival of the Flattest, onto the Xbox LIVE® Arcade service. Due for release in early Autumn 2008, both games will be released under one package called Darwinia+. When we first started Introversion back in 2001, the idea of developing our games for a console seemed an impossible challenge, and whilst we have built a fantastic community around our PC games, and will continue to support that, it has always been our dream to take the next step and produce a console title. Multiwinia is the natural conclusion of what we started with Darwinia way back in 2002 and, with the launch of Live Arcade, Microsoft has presented us with a fantastic opportunity to get onto a rung of the console ladder. We're really looking forward to introducing Darwinia+ to a whole new audience."

"...alter the status of the creatures by inputting a gesture-based command. On the PC, these gestures are achieved with a flick of the mouse, and there are currently no details on how they would be handled in an Xbox 360 version..." Guys, update your research on Darwinia. About 6 months after release, Introversion patched up the game and included an all-new optional UI that was more overlay, traditional RTS - but still brilliant. It was the perfect solution for folks who didn't gel with the gesture-based command system, and it should be highly adaptable for use on console in the 360 version. Don't worry; these guys are very, very clever.

Sounds interesting though I doubt I would buy it as a full game (it doesn't sound that big or needing of retail release) I may get it if its on XBLA though if it looks good.

yesyesyes! this game is so freaking sweet. if you've never played it, think of a mix between Syndicate Wars/Tron/Matrix. That may not be the right mix, but that's what i thought when i was playing it. very VERY original and addicting game. Definately a must buy for me.

RaiKageRyu get your facts straight about the wrong console.. 360 set the standards that these "other" consoles are still trying to catch up with ...

I played this game on the PC with the 360 gamepad and it basically previews the controls that the 360 will have so not so much a mystery there.

Never heard of it, maybe i'll give it try.

Your logic is flawed, RaikageRyu. There really isn't a "wrong" console. It's more like "oh, crap, I knocked the 360 and failed to realize it actually has good stuff and now I probably won't get to play this cool game". Fruits Basket rules, by the way.

This game in on the wrong console.

Darwinia is a perfect fit for XBLA.....facepalm why didnt I think of that?

Cool. I still have Darwinia on my laptop, it's a great time-killer.

The name makes me want to try, if its called Darwina...then sign me up! lol

want to try

Reading this made me think it should be on WiiWare and not XBLA. But it don't matter. I remember this game interesting me. So, I'll probally get it if it comes to either of them.

Darwinia was suppose to be incredible... but I never did go and play it. Maybe now I will, then get it for XBLA. On a side note, I know they're bringing one of Treasure's shooters to the XBLM, but I want Gunstar Heroes on the marketplace. If they put that game on there, with online co-op, I would cry rivers, pay $15, and not play any other XBLA game.

this is great news, awesome game.

I'd love uplink to come out on xbla

never heard

Id love to see Uplink, but it'd be kinda wierd using a controller. lol

OH please please please please please give us an XBLA version of DEFCON!!!!

oh it's on steam too? cool.

Darwinia was a great game! For those who haven't had a chance to play it: I would suggest you get it for the 360.

Darwinia ws great, and its great for laptops, and every computer can handle it

They need to release Uplink to the consoles. That would be a great spare time game. But at least games are being released for Live/PSN/VC that bring life to the systems.

this game was really great! still play it on my laptop when I am flying around the states! I wonder how they are going to port the controls. i always have a hard time playing PC games on consoles. things like fps and rts just dont translate well IMO. If I like the controls in the trial I will download it for sure.

I remember this on Steam. One of those quirky games that some people love but most people can't get into. Still I love seeing the library of games on XBL grow.

its sad this game didnt do as well as it should have. this game is the bomb!

cool I guess

I've heard alot of good things about this titel,i'm really glad it's coming out to the 360
