'R-Type Dimensions' coming to Xbox Live Arcade - Not from Irem

The Australian classification website has just updated with a whopper
of a scoop - 'R-Type Dimensions' is coming to the Xbox Live Arcade!

From what we can gather, the game is being published by Microsoft
themselves, and not title creators Irem, who recently released R-Type
Tactics to the PSP. The game is being developed by Tozai Inc, who are
also currently working on the fantastic looking 'Lode Runner' for Xbox
Live Arcade.

Will it be a new version of R-Type, or a variation of a previous
title? It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Surprising how
the Xbox 360 has become the platform of choice for these kinds of
games.

Also rated this week were 'A Kingdom for Keflings' as well as the
first of anything about 'Penny Arcade Episode 2', which we should see
more about at PAX.

Well I can't wait for Lode Runner!!! I remember having a blast with that
game back on my Commodore 64. A new improved version should be a lot of
fun.
