Jetpac Refuelled is a 21st century update to the bona fide classic Jetpac from Rare's early days. With all new levels, enemies, weapon upgrades, and visual pyrotechnics, Jetpac Refuelled offers over 100 stages of laser-spitting euphoria complete with achievements, leaderboards, and furious multiplayer action on a single Xbox 360 console or over Xbox LIVE.
Try it now and give your trigger finger a real arcade workout. Also included in the package is the original Jetpac from 1983. See what's changed, or just wallow in nostalgia if you're part of the Spectrum generation.

Shameless plug
Guess which colour Gamecube I bought recently. If you can't decide on which games to buy you couldn't far wrong trying out Amusement Vision's Super Monkey Ball and Shigeru Miyamoto's Pikmin. If you didn't play it first time around on the Dreamcast then Sonic Team's Phantasy Star Online is also a must have.

Hob 0.9.1
Hob has been refusing to work with recent builds of Sun's J2SE Plugin. The problem has been tracked down to a product called JAX, which is used to reduce the size of Java class files.
