Diner Dash on tomorrow's XBLA menu

Side salad to Gyromancer.

The mega-popular and oft-adapted Diner Dash joins Gyromancer on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, 18th November.

The game follows Flo, whose diner is full. Naturally, then, she has to see to all the customers, keeping track of tables, orders and payments as time teasingly trickles away. Diner Dash XBLA adds head-to-head and team multiplayer, and the game costs 800 MSP (£6.80/€9.60)

Gyromancer, as you know, is a joint effort between RPG master Square Enix and puzzle perfecter PopCap to create a Puzzle Quest clone. The results should be interesting even at a higher price-point: 1200 MSP (£10.20/€13.96).
