For you board game enthusiast out there, Big Huge Games has recently update the official Catan site specifying that we will be seeing the title hit the XBLA service this May.

Another piece of info that was added to the site was this quote from Klaus Teuber (the creator of the original Settlers of Catan):

"I had no doubts that Brian Reynolds would do a great job, and the first version of the game exceeded my highest expectations. The AI is so clever that I even lost several games in a row! Hands down, this game for the Xbox Live Arcade is an amazing achievement."

While this certainly speaks wonders of the AI programing to be found in the game, I for one, as a newbie to title, hope that he had the difficulty cranked to 11 when playing :)
