The very popular independent title, Darwinia, is about to make a nice transition from Steam and the PC world to the Xbox Live Arcade realm. Dubbed Darwinia+, the Live version will feature the original PC version of Darwinia plus the multiplayer side, Multiwinia. According to a CVG preview of the title, the game is coming along quite nicely.
Plug a 360 pad into your PC right now and you'll be able to play Darwinia almost as it'll arrive on Live Arcade later this year, streamlined and easy to play - the result of a three-year iterative process and at last a game the team are happy with. The lessons learned in fixing Darwinia are the same lessons which have gone into Multiwinia, and the team aren't going at it half-arsed again.Darwinia+ is slated for an Autumn release, pending the affirmative nod from Microsoft's certification process.
