XBLA Gets Mech'd: War World Confirmed [Update]
The visual bar for XBLA just got a whole lot higher! GameSpot has a hands-on preview of the Third Wave Games developed and Ubisoft published War World.
We had word around 6 months ago that this game would be coming and reported so. Back then, the worry was squeezing a game with a 149MB demo down into 50MB. Well, I imagine that Third Wave was jumping for joy when the limit was raised to 150MB.
The gameplay looks to be easy to learn with "Halo-like" controls and sports 10 highly unique and specialized battle 'bots which you can take through 100 arcade-mode levels of Mech-tastic shooting and destroying.
The game is slated to arrive sometime in "late summer" but let's hope it's sooner rather than later. As good as this game looks and with 8-player multiplayer confirmed (sorry, did I forget to mention that), anyone think it will join the ranks of 1200MSP games?
[Update]: Here's a link to the official site for the PC version, a link to the PC Demo (nice idea Blue_Falcon) and also here's a link for videos too. Enjoy!

1200 MSP? If the game plays as good as it looks, I'd gladly pay 1600. (And since it goes for $20 on their site anyway, I wouldn't be bothered at all paying the price). These guys just raised the bar on so many levels for XBLA standards.
I think I might DL the PC demo now, to get a feel for this game.

Targeting a release of next summer? If I had this game, I would have a choice between this, or sticking in Halo 3 again... from my beta experience, I think Halo 3 is going to win that battle most days...
But here's hoping they can put a decent number of players in a match, and the controls are intuitive.

Oh, THIS summer... well, that changes things a bit.... I keep needing something to fill my Halo 3 addiction until it arrives... maybe this will work.
