The pair will be offered as a single download for 400 points. The other game to debut on Xbox Live Arcade this week is Catan, an adaptation of the board game Settlers of Catan. Players take on the role of colonists of a newly discovered island with the goal of controlling territory and resources through strategy and trading. Gamers can choose to play against AIs in the style of various historical personalities such as Alexander and Cleopatra (giving a variety of styles and difficulty), or go online and play up to three real opponents with voice chat. A 'learn as you play' tutorial is provided for beginners. Microsoft claims the skill levels of the artificial opponents can challenge everyone including expert players. Since there's no provision for multiple players on one console, that's probably a good job. As with the Centipede/Millipede combo, Catan requires an Xbox 360 and features HDTV and Dolby 5.1 support. Catan will cost 800 points.{moscomment}
