Novadrome Rear Ending Live Arcade

The next game to be released for the Xbox Live Arcade was announced today, and it marks the fourth title in Microsoft’s recent streak of original content for the service. Novadrome, a futuristic vehicular combat game from Stainless Games, will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace this Wednesday at 1am PST.

“Immensely fun to play, easily available and affordable, Novadrome captures what gamers are looking for in an Xbox Live Arcade title,” said Michael Ryder, senior vice president of global production, Buena Vista Games. “Offline, players can battle enemies or explore sprawling arenas filled with obstacles and power-ups. After learning the basics, they can then vie for ultimate bragging rights by engaging friends and other Xbox Live Arcade combatants through the highly customizable online multiplayer mode.”
