Atari just announced that 3 more classics are making their way to Xbox Live Arcade this holiday season. The games are Battlezone, Tempest and Warlords. I don’t know about you, but I’m sooo looking forward to playing Battlezone on my HDTV. All 3 games will feature updated graphics, sound and feature new modes.

“Atari and Stainless are thrilled to bring the Atari Classic and Evolved games to Xbox LIVE Arcade,” said Robert Lindsley, Executive Producer, Atari, Inc. “Players can now get the best of both worlds; nostalgic fun with the original Classics and new gaming experiences with the Evolved versions featuring contemporary graphics and music, all while unlocking Achievements and boosting their Gamerscores.”
