GameSpot has an interesting hands-on preview of Schizoid, the first XNA-developed game to hit Xbox Live Arcade in the near future. In this game, you and a buddy pilot orange and blue colored ships that can only kill enemies of the same color. The enemies know this, too, so while they’ll mercilessly attack the ship of a different color, they’ll flee the other player’s ship. Adding to the intensity is that if you leave enemies alive too long, they’ll become indestructible. There are also weapons that both players share - razor wire FTW!
The game also features a single player mode in which the computer controls the buddy and another challenging mode in which a player controls BOTH ships with an analog stick each.
The game looks hot, and may be the vanguard of a whole mess of indie-developed XBLA games.
