Tomorrow will also see Commanders: Attack of Genos added to the Live Arcade catalogue, we just forgot to tell you about it yesterday because of, er, all the earthquakes.

It costs 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) and is a turn-based strategy affair where you roam around maps trying to defeat a genetically modified super-race. You get a fancy hero unit to help, plus all sorts of regular muscle from missile launchers to bombers and infantry.

The game boasts art deco-style visuals, although we would use technical terms such as "cartoony" or "looks a bit like Advance Wars" to describe it. Pop into our Commanders: Attack of Genos gallery to see for yourself.

There are a couple of endings on offer, once you've waded through around 15 missions, and apparently it's all quite ironic - hopefully not in the Alanis Morissette sense of the word. Silly old bat.

Discs of Tron will also be available on Live Arcade tomorrow, and we will be giving you our thoughts on both sharpish.
