It was bound to happen. The Nintendo Wii has the Virtual Console and the Playstation 3 has their Home Arcade so it was inevitable that the Xbox 360 develop their own online arcade called the Game Room. Utilizing your Xbox LIVE Avatar, you’ll be able to walk through the Game Room and play some classic arcade and console games.

The games shown in the trailer above include:
• Centipede (arcade)
• Asteroids Deluxe (arcade)
• Tempest (arcade)
• Crystal Castles (arcade)
• Lunar Lander (arcade)
• Jungler (arcade)
• Road Fighter (arcade)
• Scramble (arcade)
• Finalizer (arcade)
• Tutankham (arcade)
• Shao-Lin’s Road (arcade)
• Super Cobra (arcade)
• Red Baron (arcade)
• Gravitar (arcade)
• Battlantlis
• Astrosmash (Intellivision)
• Mountain Madness Super Pro Skiing (Intellivision)
• Armor Battle (Intellivision)
• Space Hawk (Intellivision)
• Sub Hunt (Intellivision)
• Sea Battle (Intellivision)
• Space Armada (Intellivision)
• Astrosmash (Intellivision)
• Star Raiders (Atari 2600)
• Outlaw (Atari 2600)
• Yar’s Revenge (Atari 2600)
• Millipede (Atari 2600)
• Football (Atari 2600)
• RealSports Tennis (Atari 2600)
• Combat (Atari 2600)

No waiting in lines here as you challenge your friends’ high scores this Spring in 30 games. With the line-up supposedly reaching up to 1000 games, the Xbox 360 looks to add one more fine point on why it’s one of the best consoles on the market. It looks to have a rather impressive line up of games like the Wii’s Virtual Console and none of the virtual waiting-in-line seen in Playstation Home’s debut. If Microsoft can get more classic console games (i.e. Sega Genesis and Turbo Grafx titles), they definitely lock themselves into 2nd place for bringing retro-gaming into more households. The Wii’s Virtual Console will always be number 1 because of the classic Nintendo line-up they have from the NES to the N64.
