Live Arcade flutters eyelids.

Microsoft has said that we will be treated to both Battlestar Galactica and Exit on Live Arcade tomorrow.

The first is a space combat game for 800 points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.30) that is based around some sort of telly show that Tom watches. Apparently you get 10 missions as well as various multiplayer maps to fly around on, where you can be either Cylon or human and blow up to seven other friends out of the sky, er, void.

Those of you who use a PC for gaming can get hold of it today for USD 9.99 on the official website, and will be puffing your chests out with up to 16-player online space battles.

Exit, on the other hand, is a remake of a PSP puzzler that was actually very good. The idea is to guide a character called Mr. ESC out of various platform-scenarios without being flattened by obstacles on the way. You also get to rescue hostages like that one out of Speed.

The Live Arcade version will cost 800 points, has 220 levels to get through and shiny new HD graphics, leaderboards and Achievements to swoon over. Pop over to our Exit PSP review to see what you are in store for.

You may also notice that Ellie's favourite game UNO has had a little nip and tuck. It now has support for Big Button Pads otherwise known as the Scene It? buzzer peripherals that are a little like those in PS2 quiz game Buzz.

Plus, those of you with Live Vision cameras should also now be able to pick out other people with the hardware so that you can look at each other while playing a game, and Privacy Settings can now be displayed in-game at the touch of a button.

You can also download the third add-on pack for Bomberman Live as well as new bits and pieces for Pinball FX.

Look out for our reviews of Battlestar Galactica and Exit soon.

Exit was superb on the PSP.

As I parted company with my PSP over a year ago this is a must buy.

Exit on PSP was a nice little puzzle game let down by the controls. Hopefully the 360 version will be more playable.

Is it known what Exit XBLA actually comprises? Is it like a "best-of" Exit/2, for example?
Are there any screenshots/details of the new Pinball FX content? (I'll wait to be pleasantly surprised by Bomb-up pack 3 tomorrow, though it is annoying that in the latter two cases, even the official pages have no information or media about the new additions :/)

I heard BSG was a bit poo. If the thought of a "3D space shooter played on a 2D plane" doesn't give you the willies, I don't know what will.

/chuckles that he managed to get both poo and willies into one comment. Yes, it's been a long day already.

I hope Exit has the improved controls from Exit 2. It was great, but choosing whether to walk past or walk down stairs was very stiff in the first one, as was timing jumps.

I'm pretty sure Exit 1 on the PSP only had 100 levels (plus you could download some) - if this 360 version has 220 levels, is this Exit 1 and 2 combined?

Exit had 100 levels on the UMD, and an extra 100 for download, so this is most likely all of Exit 1 and the DLC, and 20 extra levels.

Good value if you don't own a PSP.
