Death Tank for XBLA this week

Snowblind Studios' arena combat game promises destructive next-gen combat.

Microsoft has announced that Snowblind Studios and Flat Games' Death Tank will be released on Xbox LIVE Marketplace this Wednesday, February 18.

The game will be priced 1200 MS points and challenges players to enter the ever-changing Death Tank arena and unleash destruction in multiplayer, next-gen combat. Tanks can be equipped with earth shattering weapons and battles between four players can take place on a single system, while up to eight players can fight for victory over Xbox LIVE.

Think Worms, but with tanks and some fancy graphical effects and you'll have an idea what to expect.
