5On Monday we gave you guys a chance to win Death Tank by naming your favorite video game tank, and the results were pretty entertaining.
Readers chimed in with some classics (Command & Conquer's GDI Mammoth Tank, the tank from Atari 2600's Combat) to some unconventional favorites (the "Tank" from Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil characters.)
Snowblind Studios' recently-released Xbox Live Arcade title Death Tank is a good time. Not familiar with it? Think Worms or Scorched Earth, but in real time, with support for eight players over Xbox Live multiplayer.
Here are some screenshots:
Snowblind Studios and Flat Games' multiplayer shooter Death Tank will arrive in the Xbox 360's online Xbox Live Marketplace this Wednesday, Microsoft has announced.
Priced at 1200 Microsoft Points ($15), the downloadable Xbox 360 release supports up to eight players over Xbox Live, and up to four players on the same Xbox 360 console. Try to imagine Worms without the restrictions of turn-based combat--that's Death Tank. Read more »
Death Tank, once a mini-game in Lobotomy Software's PowerSlave for the Sega Saturn, is coming to Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade, as was hinted by Germany's software ratings board.

A listing on the German software ratings board USK's website reveals that a game called Death Tank is coming to the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade platform, prompting speculation that it may be a downloadable edition of Lobotomy Software's fan-favorite 2D multiplayer shooter.
Reminiscent of Team17's Worms series and the freeware PC classic Scorched Earth, the game expanded on the turn-based 2D warfare by bringing real-time gameplay into the mix. Positioned atop a randomized landscape, up to seven players could unleash heavy ordinance to destroy opponents and whittle down the surrounding terrain. Read more »
