XBLA Wednesday: Centipede and Catan
I don't know what kind of strange world we live in now but this Wednesday we'll be seeing our third week in a row of double-releases on the Xbox Live Arcade in the form of Catan and a Centipede/Millipede two-in-one. Centipede/Millipede is Yet Another Arcade Port (YAAP) but Catan is something to get excited about -- it's an adaptation of the super-popular boardgame Settlers of Catan and has online multiplayer for up to four players. Here's the nitty gritty:

+All New 3D "Living World" Board

+Play against any combination of 13 historical personalities such as Alexander, Cleopatra and Tokugawa, which provide a range of play styles and difficulty levels that will test players' wits and strategy

+Fans of the board game will enjoy the inclusion of popular house rules like Friendly Robber and Friendly Resources

+Multiplayer gameplay over Xbox LIVE for up to 4 players

+The ability to taunt opponents with engaging animations and use emotes to compliment (or belittle!) the opposition over Xbox LIVE
