360 Live Arcade Details Out

Posted by Zonk on Monday October 17, 2005 @09:33AM from the old-skool-flava-with-a-new-skool-twist dept.

Edge Online has a short piece on Xbox VP Peter Moore's announcement of the Live Arcade's full potential. Gamespot has a list of the planned titles, which is thoroughly impressive, including hits like Bejeweled 2, SmashTV, and Wik:Fable of Souls. From the Edge article: "Amongst the 40-odd developers slated for further Live Arcade development are Namco, SEGA, Konami, Capcom, SNK Playmore and Hudson Soft providing a selection of their retro titles, as well as the usual lineup of casual PC game producers like Wild Tangent, PopCap, and GarageGames, but the two most unexpected additions to the list are Mizuguchi's upstart Q Entertainment and AntiGrav/Guitar Hero developers Harmonix."

its important to note that "basic" means you get to send voice messages and pay (using a micropayment system) to buy stuff that wasn't included in the game. the basic "silver" live accounts do not allow you to play games online, it just means you can plug your xbox into the net and give them money for stuff that the game developers were too cheap to include on the disc.

this also assumes you shell out $500 for the SUPER DELUXE version of the 360, that includes the hard drive, so you actually have a place to save the things you've downloaded (and a communicator, which doesn't come standard with the cheaper system., but can be purchased at additional cost)

the x360 is too expensive.
