Hmm, I used to like the cartoon a lot so I'll give Rocky & Bullwinkle a try, Battlezone I'm not the least bit interested in, I missed that whole craze the first time it went around.

I am just waiting for the "HD enhanced, widescreen" Space Invaders XBLA, I'll be all over that like Ovaltine in my milk, mm

Guys, Rocky & Bullwinkle is freaking spaztastic fun!
If you like fast mini-game action, very much in the vein of the Wario Ware titles, give this a try.

Battlezone is sort of fun when you're steering with the two stick "skid" system, and the new graphics look pretty neat, but it's still very simple. Plus, if it's like the other Atari XBLA rehashes, it will be tough to 200/200 because of the Throttle Monkey achievements.
