  • Play against any combination of 13 historical personalities such as Alexander, Cleopatra and Tokugawa, which provide a range of play styles and difficulty levels that will test players’ wits and strategy

  • Fans of the board game will enjoy the inclusion of popular house rules like Friendly Robber and Friendly Resources

  • Multiplayer gameplay over Xbox LIVE for up to 4 players

  • The ability to taunt opponents with engaging animations and use emotes to compliment (or belittle!) the opposition over Xbox LIVE

  • Voice Chat enabled

  • Earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points

Next up is a double-pack (or should that be quadruple-pack?) which includes the original versions of both Centipede and Millipede, as well as their “evolved” counterparts, all for just 400 Microsoft Points.

The evolved versions will feature high definition graphics, brand new special effects, and advanced particle-based explosions amongst other key features such as:

  • Two games in one! Enjoy both classic and evolved versions of both “Centipede” and “Millipede”

  • Dolby Digital surround sound

  • Earn up to 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore points
