Also, way back in the day (freshman year of high school) me and my class made a game on liberty basic. That game was this but instead of tanks it was horizontal sticks we told ourselves were tanks.
fuck.
It IS Scorched Earth. Except in realtime instead of being turn based (if the trailer is any indication)

That would be worse than giving live a heroine making button. I am so horrible at that game yet I can't stop playing it.
Anyway, to make a long story short, I unlocked the game, got a multitap and 7 controllers, and tested it out with some friends.
Best multiplayer game ever. We've played a few epic 50-round games.
"Hey, kids! Iiiiiit's time for a BLITZ ROOOUUUUND!"
edit:
So what I'm saying is I am very excited about Death Tank, although it is sad it's probably not possible to do a 7-player local game.

edit: adding this to OP.
Step 1: Hover over opponent.
Step 2: Fire MIRV straight up.
Step 3: Hover to the right and watch all 5 shells land directly on opponent's tank.
Step 4: Hope opponent didn't buy corbomite.
I am quite happy that I purchased my 360 in June.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Scorched Earth was the best thing ever made.
It's amazing how far the simple graphics go with the wide array of wacky weapons on use.

Im a bit hesitant about the realtime aspect (I'm used to Worms and SE) but it should make it more chaotic... and chaos is always fun with friends.
Bought as soon as I get home.
So I am guessing there is no suing to be had for this type of game design yet?
Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
You can't patent rules to a game.
And, wow, who decided that all new XBLA games were going to be 1200 points these days?
But my grandfather patented rock paper scissors and invented the ...

Basically, enough games have sold at that price point now, that MS is probably going to just charge that much so they can get more blood out of the stone. I imagine by this time next year, 800MSP new arcade games will be but a distant memory
I need more PA'ers to get this. Do it now!
Its similar to worms in that regard. I think there's like 4 different tilesets that are used in a random level generator. The tilesets themselves look quite nice as well.
Im really enjoying it so far. I dunno if its new or not, but there's "Theme Rounds" were for that round there's special rules, like "Unlimited Jump Jet, Lasers only". These are entertaining in their own rights, and give other players a chance to catch up.
I've regretted buying XBLA games before (I'm looking at you, SF2HD) but I do not regret this. Like Bomberman, this one is a great party game.

Funky bombs ftw.
Even if your own bomb blew you up half the time.
But I already have it on my Sega Saturn...
Or Napalm. Mmmmm Napalm.
Well that would work if I had a Saturn!
Ok so I do, but I'll be damned if I get it out of storage. Sides, Dreamcast is currently taking up my "Sega" slot on my TV.
It takes some time to get used to, I admit.
