Three games hit Live this Wednesday at 2 a.m. Pacific and one of them is Catan.
Big Huge Games' take on Settlers of Catan will cost 800 points and is getting some big thumbs up from Klaus Teuber, the creator of teh original board game.
"I had no doubts that Brian Reynolds would do a great job, and the first version of the game exceeded my highest expectations. The AI is so clever that I even lost several games in a row! Hands down, this game for the Xbox LIVE Arcade is an amazing achievement."
