We are extremely pleased to announce that SWOS is coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade before Christmas. Players are going to have a great holiday playing one of the best known and loved retro classics of all time. The wait has definitely been worthwhile, the online play is a blast and the game looks amazing and we are confident that players both new and old will feel the same way.
