14 DAY TRIAL // I guess Xbox Live isn't such a bad place to be after all. I've criticized many times the lack of next-gen games and the abundance of old SNES, NES, SEGA and NEO-GEO games from console manufacturers today, but seeing these 6 new titles hitting the service, I have to say that owning an Xbox 360 pays.
As 1UP posts, here's the list of the 6 games, complete with description coming straight from Microsoft, with no release date set though:
Mad Tracks: This 3-D racing party game from Load Inc. and D3Publisher recalls all the fun of playing with toy cars from childhood. Up to four players can race micro cars in a variety of gameplay modes in familiar settings such as a living room, a restaurant and a toy store.
Rush 'n Attack: Also known as "Green Beret," from Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., this is a faithful next-generation update of this classic coin-op arcade title where the player assumes the role of a special forces agent sent behind enemy lines to infiltrate an enemy military complex and free captured prisoners of war.
Soltrio Solitaire: From Silver Creek Entertainment, this is a collection of 18 different solitaire games, offering co-op and competitive two-player solitaire game modes.
Spyglass Board Games: From Strange Flavour Ltd. and Freeverse, this offers classic versions of the world's most beloved board games, including chess, checkers, mancala and reversi, as well as the ability to enjoy video chat with friends via the Xbox LIVE Vision camera.
Street Trace:NYC: This is a hover board racing and arena battle game from Gaia Industries Inc. set against the urban wasteland of future New York City. Make your mark on the leaderboards in intense eight-player action over Xbox LIVE, or battle at home through split-screen or single-player tournaments.
Undertow: This is a fast-paced action shooter from Chair Entertainment Group that thrusts players underwater as they battle for control of the oceans and features a robust single player/co-op campaign and up to 16-player multiplayer action over Xbox LIVE.
And remember, the all time classic beat 'em up video game series developed by Technos Japan Corporation, Double Dragon, will also be available for download via XBLA this week. It has co-op mode you know...
