Rumor: Rez and Chessmaster to release this week [update]

by Dustin Burg { Jan 21st 2008 at 11:00AM }

Update: Major Nelsons says no Rez HD or Chessmaster Live this week. Maybe next Wednesday?

There are whispers around the internets that both the long awaited (and vibrator equipped) Rez HD and Chessmaster Live will be making a release to the Xbox Live Arcade this week. CVG mentions the rumor coming from a tip they received, but as with all anonymous tips ... it could be hogwash.

We know there are hundreds if not thousands of fanboys who are super excited and anticipating Rez HD's XBLA release and we doubt anyone would complain about a Chessmaster Live twofer. And for whatever it's worth, both games have been promised to be January XBLA releases. No matter, we'll be able to valid or discount this XBLA release rumor within' a few hours when Microsoft announces this week's XBLA games. So, sit tight and countdown the minutes until either a Rez HD announcement or a total disappointment. How fun!

Rez is exciting, and Chessmaster... well, I enjoy Chessmaster a lot, and will be better than the other chess game currently out on XBLA

I can't wait for Rez!

Any idea when Poker Smash is coming out? OXM says it's due this month; hopefully the week following this one. That game looks great and it got a really nice review.

Microsoft will probably not release any Live Arcade games this week since Undertow is free instead.

Yeah, I fear the same thing Aero does about no 800 MS games coming this week because of Undertow..BUT..we can hope, right?
I played the Undertow demo and I didn't care for it. I dunno.

Regardless, I can't wait for Rez! One of the best 'last-gen' games of all, and it does my heart good to know many more gamers will have a chance to try it now.
