R-Type Dimensions is a combination of R-Type and R-Type II, mashed into one package for your shopping/playing convenience. It is this week's Xbox Live Arcade release, and yes, we shall be buying it. Few things make us as excited as playing through the first two levels of R-Type again, then realising it's BLOODY HARD and giving up.

You're actually sort of getting four games, with both original R-Type versions also coming with remade alternate editions that feature "3D graphics" so the kids of today will hopefully give them more of a chance. It looks like this.

The bad news is it costs 1200 MS Points for the twin pack. Which is quite a lot for a couple of old games we've all played a billion times before on every emulator known to man. Still, it's R-Type. It's better than The Maw. Support it.
