After Microsoft announced Game Room at their keynote address at CES, it was only a matter of time before we would get our hands on it.  Contrary to some beliefs, Game Room is nothing like Playstation Home, nope not at all.  In fact, you never take control of your Avatar and navigate the room.  Instead, the camera just goes over each arcade machine as you browse the different classics.  Its actually very nice to use because every arcade machine is organized by platform and every platform has its own little alcove in the Game Room.  I played Centipede and am glad to report that the port to the Xbox platform was very good.  The game appeared to be upscaled so lines and text appeared to be sharp on the HDTV connected to the Xbox 360.  Each game in the Game Room can be played for free before you choose to buy it.  Each game can then be played like classic arcade machines by costing 50 Microsoft Points per game.  If you want to buy a game for the Xbox 360, each will cost approximately 240 Microsoft Points.  Since Game Room is also available on Windows, each game can be bought for 400 Microsoft Points, granting access for Xbox 360 Game Room and Game Room on Windows.  Game Room is expected to launch on the Xbox Live this Spring 2010.
