Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe are hitting Live Arcade this week in the form of a bundle that'll cost 400 Microsoft Points.
Like the Centipede/Millipede XBLA combo before it, Asteroids/Asteroids Deluxe will include a hyperspeed mode that, in reality, proves to be more frustrating than fun. There's not much more to say about the game, really. It's Asteroids for crying out loud; you either like it or you don't.
There are plenty of promising titles in the Live Arcade queue, so I'm more than disappointed that a port of nearly 30-year-old game is the best we're being offered. Better luck next week, I guess.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.
