Konami's classic arcade game Time Pilot comes to the Xbox Live Arcade today, and I for one am absolutely thrilled. Back when I was in the sixth grade, I remember being hopelessly addicted to Time Pilot and my feelings for the game have never really changed. It's a great example of action packed, addictive gameplay, and I'd highly suggest you at least give the demo a try. Here's to hoping the game translates well to the Xbox 360 control pad.
