?Band of Bugs? Storms onto Xbox Live Arcade

This Xbox Live Wednesday Arcade sees the arrival of the tactical, insect-infested combat game "Band of Bugs". Don't let their tiny size fool you, because these bugs are armed to the teeth, ready to take your orders and spring into action. "Band of Bugs" will be available for download on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 from Wednesday 20th June at 09.00 GMT.

The third Xbox LIVE Arcade title from NinjaBee, "Band of Bugs" builds on the success of their previous titles, "Outpost Kaloki X" and "Cloning Clyde", and delivers quality game play in a unique setting.
