Retro City Rampage coming to XBLA on January 2nd
Posted on December 28, 2012 by OG

Who would have guessed that the first game of 2013 would be a game filled with nostalgia?  VBlank Entertainment's Retro City Rampage - currently available for the PS3, Vita, and PC - will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade on January 2nd, 2013. 

Although this version is coming later, it's not going to be the same game.  The past month, VBlank has been polishing up the game and giving some slight improvements over the previously released versions.  Although no price was released, it's very likely that the game will be either $14.99(1200 MS Points) or $19.99(1600 MS Points).  Wii owners and European gamers may be hearing news of a release later in January.
