The classic space shooter is back! Now for the first time you can play Defender on Xbox Live. Protect the humans on the planet surface by destroying the invading alien abductors.
Majornelson mentions that since Defender only just finished Microsoft certification, the Midway game and its demo will be up a little later than the usual 8AM GMT.
Key features include:
* Classic and enhanced modes: Play this arcade classic the way it was back in the day, or play it with sound and visual enhancements for next-gen.
* Full Xbox Live support: Access leaderboards for single player, versus, co-op, and weekly stats, and earn 12 achievements for a total of 200 gamerpoints.
* Multiplayer mania: Test your skills against rivals or team up with your friends. Play on or offline in co-op or versus mode, combining your scores or matching them against each other for the win.
