What's War World?: Cyberball 2072 and Fatal Fury Special Next Week

To make up for all the confusion (and heartache) caused by last week's non-confirmed confirmation of War World, the bloggers at Gamerscoreblog have given us plenty of notice for next week. But if you thought, "War World probably just slipped a week...don't worry," you were wrong.

I don't even have to make a prediction about the first double 800 MSP game week because this week is retro or bust. Cyberball 2072 and Fatal Fury Special are your games this week. Love 'em or leave 'em.

Full deets post-breakage.

Very nice...

War World will come out sooner or later (right?). These are definite buys for me, spent plenty of quarters on Cyberball back in the day and Fatal Fury is a welcomed addition. Two quality 'twofer' weeks in a row.

I'm excited about Fatal Fury

I'm excited about Fatal Fury Special. I actually preferred Fatal Fury to Street Fighter when I was young. Glad to see they've kept it at 400 points as the previous two fighting games on XBLA have both been 800.

Cyberball I've never heard of, don't think I ever saw it in the arcades. I think I'll be saving my futuristic sports points for Speedball 2, though.

Yeah Fatal Fury Special is a

Yeah Fatal Fury Special is a must buy..the other Fatal Fury games in the series wont too great but the special ones were so much better.

Cyberball is basically robot american football...it was naff in the arcades and naff on every conversion going!

Cool. I'm surprised that Fatal Fury Special is only 400. Never played it myself, but I've heard that it's very good.
