Choplifter HD from developers inXile Entertainment is finally getting released on January 11th for XBLA, PSN, and PC. And there's a price to boot: $15, or 1200 MSP in Xbox 360 parlance.

If you check out the video below you can see the obvious upgrades to the classic helicopter game. It has 3D graphics, but still consists of you flying a chopper to rescue people. It is also said to feature Duke Nukem as a playable character (all these classic games/ gotta stick together, I guess) and in the video you can see that at some point you have to rescue Meat Boy! They have also added a zombie invasion to Choplifter, so you get to rescue survivors while zombies cling to the side of chopper in addition to the usual military-themed lifts. Good times.

The price is a tad steep for me, so I'll probably wait until it comes down a bit, but it's cool to see a great old game like Choplifter get a facelift(-er?) for the new gen. Oh, the puns.
