1 vs 100 gets cancelled
We're sorry to have kept you waiting in suspense before having to deliver this kind of news. We fully understand how some of you may be upset about the announcement. We hope you understand that it wasn’t an easy decision to make and there was a great deal of deliberation.
Our team really enjoyed making 1 vs. 100. Working on it was unlike anything we’d worked on before. Seeing the passionate feedback and interaction from our players was always appreciated. Even though we spent our days at work bringing the game to you, we still enjoyed playing alongside you. Our colleagues on the writing team made us laugh, too.
We knew starting on this project, that 1 vs 100 was completely different and would be an idea we would continue to evolve. We’ve learned a lot from this experience and we’re committed to applying these lessons to the cool, new stuff we’re working on, but can’t yet discuss.

XBLA Today: Monkey Island 2 Special Edition and Blacklight: Tango Down
This week on Xbox LIVE Arcade comes a remake of a beloved classic adventure game in Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChucks Revenge and a first person shooter from Ignition Entertainment in Blacklight: Tango Down. Nostalgia makes a magnificent return once again courtesy of Lucas Arts in Glorious HD and oldschool pixelness. The key this time though is the commentary by the original designers. Nostalgia at its finest. *Click here to add Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: Lehcucks Revenge to your download queue. Blacklight: Tango Down is one of those titles that is very much trying to fulfill that impulse you have for a shooter just when you don’t quite have the mustard to put a new disc in the tray. As a complete multiplayer shooter on your hard drive/flash drive will you bite with the abundance of choice outthere or is conveinence not enough?*Click here to add Blacklight: Tango Down to your download queue.
