<\/h2>

This week’s Xbox Live Arcade release is the Atari classic, Missile Command<\/i>. It’s set to hit XBLA on Independence Day and can be yours for 400 Microsoft Points. I guess if you squint your eyes and have a little booze in you, the explosions in Missile Command<\/i> do sort of resemble fireworks exploding.<\/p>

Fun little factoid courtesy of Wikipedia<\/a>: “while programming Missile Command<\/i>, its writer suffered from nightmares.” What a traumatic experience that must’ve been for the poor guy. Maybe the game really was cursed like the old legends used to say. <\/p>

Like previous old school games to hit Live Arcade, Missile Command<\/i> will feature the regular visual style as well as the option to play with a new high-def look. It will even support resolutions up to 1080p, anti-aliasing, and digital surround sound.<\/p>

What are you thinking, Xbox 360 owners? Yay or nay? <\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":16387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1,557],"tags":[168,272],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":10,"display_name":"Jordan
