Save the galaxy from the comfort of home.

I always thought Meteos looked like a slick puzzle game, superior to the more hip but less charming Lumines, but what’s a guy without a DS to do?  Now Q Entertainment has decided to give XBLA a little more love with Meteos Wars, an expanded version of the DS game where you slide, stack, and ignite your blocks to take care of those annoying doomsday meteors.  Be a master of the combos and power-ups, then take care of your friends in multiplayer.  All the while exploring this colorful galaxy.

New visuals, new audio, and new features fill up the XBLA version.  Here’s the word straight from Q:

- *Planets galore:*  Defend over 20 planets, each with its own alien race, Meteos block styles, unique gravity effects and visual and audio style

- *All-new special techniques:*  Master four of the “Planet Impact” special attacks - Armageddon, Gambit, Sentinel and Tempest.

- *Massive modes*:  Test your quick-thinking action-puzzle skills in a variety of single-player modes, including Mission Mode, Attack Mode or Vs. Mode.  Three challenges await you in Attack Mode – the 1-minute attack, 100-Meteo attack and the Challenge attack.

- *Multiplayer: * Blast away your opponents over Xbox LIVE in Matching Vs. Mode and become one of the best Meteos Wars players in the community! You can also go head-to-head with your friend in Local Vs. Mode.

- *All-new accessories:*  Collect various accessories for your aliens by clearing certain objectives – accessorize your alien and give it some personality!

All of this coming in October.
