No news is good news, and this is no exception: XBLArcade reports that the Xbox Live Arcade release for Wednesday, July 4th will be... Missile Command. There wasn't really much chance that a major release like Wing Commander Arena would occur on a major US holiday, but we still held out hope. Those interested can pick up Missile Command, an update of the classic arcade game, for only 400 MSPoints ($5). All that missile commanding looks like fun, but I'd rather be in command of a wing... armed with missiles! For all of our sakes, I hope I don't have to make any more of these jokes -- we'll find out when the July 11th game is announced!
