List of XBLA games that are headed our way

by Dustin Burg { Mar 17th 2008 at 3:45PM }

With today's Xbox Live Arcade Hits announcement, Microsoft also felt the need to dangle a freshly baked cookie in front of our noses by revealing a few games that are headed to the Arcade soon'ish. Among the games listed in their "coming soon" checklist are Rocky and Bullwinkle, Shotest Shogi, TiQal, Wits & Wagers and Capcom's Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3. So, you can pretty much choose one or two of those for an XBLA release next week. We're also giving you permission to uncontrollably complain if none of those five titles tickles your Arcade fancy. On the same token, feel free to uncontrollably praise the games if you're excited for a specific title.

I'll be too busy playing Vegas 2 to care about silly arcade releases like these.

Lol, looks good, but the rocky and bullcrap scares me.

Wits and Wagers sounds pretty cool, this sounds like the type of game thats fun for friends to get together online and screw around (like Uno). Does anyone know if answers are multiple choice in this game, or write in? I would hope write in but that might be pain for people without chatpads or USB keyboards.

Vegas 2 is just going to more of the same. I'll take a big pass, thanks.

I still have 4000MSP left to kill from my play & win prize so I will get these...minus rock and bullwinkle. Not that desperate for achievements...

@ Neuromancer:

The boardgame is all numbers based and you sort them on the board. So, I'm assuming the same and you'll input numbers, which won't be too hard even without a chatpad or keyboard.

@ Neuromancer:

You enter the answer via a spin dial that each person controls at the bottom of the screen. It is actually very easy and works well.

Some people in the Xbox world don't know this, but Wits & Wagers has been available nationwide at Target as a board game since last August. The board game has won more awards than any other party game in history, which is why it is now making its way to the Xbox.

You can learn more on our website at www.NorthStarGames.com or on Hidden Path Entertainment's website (the are the Xbox developers).

Cheers,
