There seems to be only one game coming out on XBLA today and that is Battlefield 1943. Developed by DICE, this arcade-style shooter is ideal for folks who are slightly nostalgic about the Second World War. Or anyone who simply loves a bit of tank-blasting, gun-toting, plane-flying action in their spare time.

Looks like you get three locations (Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima or Wake Island) where you can have a nice smashathon using a wide variety of vehicles and weapons. And yeah, did I mention that the you get to utilize land, air or sea vehicles? The multiplayer capability is going to be a big plus in this game. As it is, the game is said to allow up to 24 players in the field. In case you are wondering which uniforms you will be donning, you get to choose between being in the Imperial Japanese Army or United State Marine.

There has also been mention of the different types of weapons that are available to the player (e.g. bayonets). Incidentally, am I the only one who finds the concept of bayonets a bit freaky? I am wondering if the sniper will be immensely popular amongst gamers given that fellow's popularity amongst the TF2 folks. Well, the varied weapons sounds like it will enhance the gameplay. The sniper option is something that definitely grabbed my interest much as the tank feature sounds just as fascinating.

Well, go check it out. It's coming out today, July 8th and will be available for 1200 MS points.
