Warlords
Atari just released a new trailer for Warlords, an updated take on its classic early '80s arcade and Atari 2600 game for release this summer. Oddly enough, this already happened once before in 2008 on Xbox Live Arcade.
The original Warlords was almost like a four-player version of Pong, with players bouncing a dragon's fireball around a screen, trying to protect their castle while destroying the others. The 2008 XBLA release from Stainless Games includes this original and a fancy updated version that looks all neon and metal. 
1980 arcade classic Warlords
This new Warlords, developed by Griptonite Games, looks like it's got a lot more bells and whistles than the last attempt, however, and it will also come out on PlayStation Network this time around.
The game heads back to the medieval look of the original and adds minions, control points, and power-ups to the formula. Multiplayer comes in online or local flavors and includes co-op, 2v2, or the traditional 4-player versus mode.
