Get Your Freak On With Xbox LIVE
Arcade This Week

"Mutant Storm Empire" launches
Wednesday–plus a number of other titles are coming up.

You may be too old to go
trick-or-treating, but you’re never too old to game. October has been a month of
fun treats on Xbox LIVE Arcade, and there’s plenty to get excited about in the
coming weeks. Here’s a sneak peek at this week’s freaky title, as well as
several additional games that are coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade in the next few

The game offers a seamless experience where players move from room to room
without having to enter a loading screen, in addition to offline co-op and
multiplayer LIVE support for two people.
