Omega Five
Tron
Looks like they didn't upgrade the graphics much for Tron from the old 80s arcade classic.
REZ and a remade Lode Runner are also supposed to be on the way soon. Video
No, no word yet on what MS is going to do about the free XBLA game. No, no word yet on what the problems with Live are or when they'll be fixed. Pretty much all of the MS bloggers are at CES right now.
edit: Goldeneye is rumored to be coming to XBLA too.

Resting their cred on "very reliable sources" and evidence that they claim to have seen, Xbox Evolved is reporting that Nintendo 64 classic Goldeneye will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade shortly before Activision (the current 007 IP holder) releases their new James Bond title. The news comes (according to the site) after an agreement between Microsoft, Rareware, MGM Studios and Activision. XE says the game will feature new graphics and online multiplayer, and that other Rare games may be in the pipeline like Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark.
OK, sounds great, but is it true? We have no evidence one way or the other, but we think it would at least make sense for all the parties. Microsoft gets more solid XBLA titles, Rare (which is owned by Microsoft) reminds people of the company's glory days and MGM gets more publicity for James Bond. As for Activision, well, we already know they're not above pimping out a license for cash. We'll keep you updated.
