Coming Soon . . . . . . . .

[Yoshimax]

Until MS/Nelson get their finger out their bottom and provide us with some kind of XBLA/XBMP schedule/calendar I thought we could gather our collective knowledge here to keep up to speed with any forthcoming content we're aware of (these last few weeks everybody has been on the ball for the XBLA downloads hopefully it'll continue).

I know we've got a Forza2 demo coming this month and I'm preying we get a Stranglehold demo too. As well as that, the Halo2 maps are due 18/4 and hopefully the beta won't be too far behind them !

So,


April 18th : Halo 2 Multiplayer Maps (Credit Card essential to purchase MP points cannot be redeemed)

The konami website now has an XB Arcade section with some previously unannounced games on it. Can't remember any off the top of my head though

edit - ok so they have been announced.

They do have release dates, though clearly wrong as Gyruss was meant to be released in March.

Aye, until we get an exact date on any game, it's tbc in my book.

[Kotatsu Neko]

Isn't Boom Boom Rocket due soon?

[Brats]

Isn't Boom Boom Rocket due soon?

It appears to be finished, but then so are quite a few other arcade titles if rumours are to be believed. What will actually appear this wednesday is anyone's guess.

[Yoshimax]

What about demos ? they've cleared down the Markeplace area which usually means something is incoming ?

The GTA4 trailer looks v.nice in HD by the way

[Dirty Sanchez]

These sorts of list just end up bringing disappointment and resentment.

Endless whining about title x or y not releasing.

Why not just wait until Wed and see what comes? It's like flicking to the back of the book and finding the butler did it.

Same reason we all import videogames and source TV shows from other countries - we're impatient bastards who don't want to wait.

Only if people don't act like adults......oooops!

Current confirmed list of Live Arcade titles in development.

Checkers
Chess
Mancala
Reversi

Can't wait to see the thin-lipped teenrage that accompanies the release of this quartet of classics, particularly if they are drip-fed one per week for 400points each.

And wot no Scrabble?

[wheelaa]

Some good titles in the list. Double Dragon and Metal Slug stand out for me..despite owning numerous versions already!

4 player DD on Live would be great!

[Paulos G]

Chess! Oh yes. Put me down for that. I played in National Tournaments don't ya know. Mind you, that was in New Zealand and the Sheep weren't much of a challenge.

Nice list btw Brats. Looks like I need to start getting some more MS points.

[bitch]Don't worry, you've got about a year before you'll need to spend em [/bitch]

Actually the marketplace has been pretty good recently, I've bought 3 of the last 4 releases

Keep it up please MS!

It's been excellent recently. I've bought Paperboy, TMNT, Jetpac, Castlevania, and Alien Homonid.

Not to mention the rather expensive Oblivion Shivering Isles...
