It's not a 360 or Live Arcade title, they're just saying that they think the new Clyde game is similar to old Lemmings.

Finally got to play this a little bit, and other than the aspect of "lead the stupid guys out the exit," it isn't very much like Lemmings. That's a good thing.
I really like the game from what I've seen so far -- enough to purchase it.
The graphics are like Alien Hominid -- cartoony, smooth, and fast. The still shots on the web do NOT do this game justice. You need to see it in motion.
The gameplay is somewhat similar to the 2D Oddworld games on the Playstation, or the newer game called Exit on the PSP. However, the important thing that differentiates Clyde from these games:
The controls are smooth and tight, like a 2D Mario game. This is what makes it worth 800 M$ to me.

Having said that, though, plenty of people seem to like it enough to actually buy it.
But really, what did you expect? This is in the "Coin Op Classics" section. It's not a new game, and it never claimed to be. It's Frogger, with graphics that look a bit better, and sound that sounds a bit better, but otherwise, the gameplay remains faithful to the original, warts an' all. Does what it says on the tin.
If that's not your cup of tea, fair play to you. But you WILL see other "Coin Op Classics" on there that make no attempt to enhance anything at all...
Back in my day, we had utter shit like this:
Loaded from tape, black and white graphics, no sound. For us old-time fartknockers, this newfangled Frogger is really something very special.
But lemmings or lemmings 2, whichever one it is, is coming for xbla, I watched the e3 press briefing in which i believe it was peter who shown that it would have real music video streams in the background while you play the game. I really love puzzle games. Not sure if anyone has ever given it a try but there was a kinda mini game in Mortal Kombat:Deception called puzzle combat. It was a GREAT 2 player game similar in some respects to tetris but with a total different twist, as you cleared blocks on your screen it dumped them onto your oppoents screen. You had a unique power depending on what character you chose. Your power meter filled up as you broke blocks and preformed combos. I think the biggest combo I preformed, dumped something like 172 blocks on my oponet which completly filled his screen. I can remember the announcer's synical laugh followed by a "look out here it comes!", I damn near busted a gut laughing!

Sounds like Super Puzzle Fighter on the PS1/PC
