Defender dashes hopes for XBLA surprise
Another Wednesday, another 1980s arcade port. Defender may push some nostalgia buttons out there, but on the eve of two competitors' launches we were hoping Microsoft would deliver with a little more oomph.

In other Xbox Live news, EA's Supe'man demo has landed -- for Gold members only*. Good luck squeezing this bloated hunk of mediocrity (905.42 MB) onto your petite hard drive.

*The demo will be available for Xbox Live Silver members on Nov. 22.
