Contra - one of the most widely known games ever - hit Xbox Live Arcade in a couple days, and this is one for the ages. Chances of this game getting a download from me are pretty high. Why? Because the asking price is 400 MS Points. A mere $5 for a classic that gets the Xbox Live treatment.

Sounds worth it to me! Here are some details:

“Contra” is available worldwide for 400 Microsoft Points.

GAME FEATURES:

- Players can opt to play the original arcade game or play in the enhanced mode with improved graphics and sounds.
- Xbox Live Multiplayer: Battle all 8 levels together over Xbox Live, or locally on the same console.
-Xbox Live features: Players can see how they rank against their friends with worldwide leaderboards and achievements.
- 12 achievements: “Contra” offers achievements which range from straightforward to challenging for players of all skill levels.
- New visuals: Enjoy enhanced artwork including rendered new bullet effects and explosions.

Even though it’s an older game, at least it’s a decent price. I hope to see a bunch of you on Live!
