Both Omega Five and Tron are now available for download via Xbox LIVE Arcade. Omega Five and Tron will set you back 800 and 400 Microsoft Points respectively.
Backbone's HD-enhanced port of the original Tron arcade game will join the Natsume's 2D shooter Omega Five on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, January 9.
On the 9th January, the XBLA will be blessed with what is tipped to be one of the most hardcore shooters available. Omega Five allows the gamer to step in to take control of one of the games' heroes on the way to stopping a evil galactic force.
In a press release announcing the Fall Update's Xbox Live Arcade Hits program, Microsoft also announced the next few months' upcoming Xbox Live Arcade games that are scheduled for release. As things stand right now, the next XBLA games to get released are Arkadian Warriors, Brain Challenge, GripShift, N+, Omega Five, Poker Smash, Rez HD and Sensible World of Soccer. No specific release schedule for each game has been confirmed just yet, but it's always nice to see what's headed down the old XBLA pipeline. And this list also lets us officially get excited for N+ and Rez HD.
