The classic Mac game Airburst will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade soon courtesy of developer Freeverse:

Freeverse and Strange Flavour today announced that Airburst is well into development for Xbox Live Arcade. With quick pick-up-and-play action, this all-new Airburst is an ideal Live Arcade title and promises to be one of the best party games on the platform.

Floating high above the ground on a platform made of balloons, you have to fend-off the deadly chainsaw-bladed burster ball, and redirect it toward your opponents' balloons. Airburst has crazy power-ups, unique character powers, and a wealth of game types to reward strategy as well as reflexes.

I played a lot of Airburst back in 2001 on my first Mac, a G3 iBook. I'm glad that I'll soon have the opportunity to utilize this particular time waster some more.
