Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe coming to XBLA in August

360 News | Are you ready to play ball?
Empire Interactive has confimed via a press release that Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe for the Xbox Live Arcade will be available in August.

"We are pleased to be bringing this all time classic to Xbox Live Arcade," said Ian Higgins, CEO Empire Interactive. "With its brutal and addictive gameplay, plus the ability to play multiplayer over Live, we are sure this will be the definitive version of Speedball."

Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe is a sports game with two teams. Each team needs to throw their metal ball into the other team's goal - think soccer, but with your hands and with a harder ball. The XBLA version will come with more teams, and there will even be a HD option.

That is the single coolest freakin' thing that I have read in the whole of today! Speedball rocks your face, that is a fact.

^^ I'm thinking about how many things you have read today at 9am and how they compare.

I used to be addicted to speedball, but i was terrible at it and only won matches by pure luck. If only I had a 360.

Well, I count my after midnight Cat and Katamari picture hunting as things done today - and they turned up some neat and bizzare stuff.

But mostly it was a joke icon_wink.gif

Speedball 2 (the same guys that made Xenon 2) is an awesome game also and can't wait until this one comes out.
