Mastertronic has announced that they will be making more serious inroads into beginning with some boxed releases of a couple of hits.

The first two packs of games that Mastertronic will be releasing will be the Alien Breed Trilogy followed by Serious Sam.

The Alien Breed Trilogy, which has already been an impressive hit on XBLA, and will arrive at retail on March 18th.

Serious Sam will arrive some time after that in March. Mastertronic's Neil McKenna said: Were bringing back to the retail market. With research last year showing two out of three gamers prefer to buy discs rather than downloads, and with over 10m consoles in Europe, theres a huge potential market out there for this title. And were very pleased to offer gamers a chance to play the complete boxed collection of the acclaimed Alien Breed Trilogy for the first time.

Thanks MCV.
