Xbox Live Arcade compilation revealed

360 News | Six of the best to go on general release.
Microsoft today announced that six of the most popular titles from the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade service are to be released on a disc-based compilation. Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged Volume 1 will include Wik: Fable of Souls, Outpost Kaloki X, Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, Hardwood Backgammon, Texas Hold 'em and the absolutely bleedin' brilliant, we'd-sell-our-own-grandmother-to-play-it Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved.

The six would cost the equivalent of US$50 if purchased separately on the Xbox Live Marketplace, but will be available in stores for a budget price of US$39.99. No Australian or European prices have been confirmed yet, though a budget release would make sense in PAL regions also. It's coming shortly as well, with Microsoft promising a worldwide launch on September 5th. Review as and when.

Wik Fable of Sh!t?!?! How about Geometry Wars, Mutant Storm Reloaded, Street Fighter, Smash T.V, Joust & Gauntlet?

I wanna know where they get off calling some of these cheapos 'Arcade games'. Like as far as I know Wik was never an arcade game. Along with Outpost Kaloki, Bejeweled...etc...unless i'm mistaken..
