Xbox LIVE Arcade releases for May 11, 2011

There are a couple new releases to talk about on XBLA this morning. One of them is another attempt by Atari to bring life back to an old title, Star Raiders. Unfortunately a month ago they released another remake, Yar's Revenge, which failed to turn many heads. Hopefully this title reboot fairs better. The other is a somewhat anticipated title, Gatling Gears, published by Electronic Arts and developed by Vanguard Games. Remember, try the demo before buying. This is one of the great features I enjoy about Xbox. It has saved me countless of dollars!
