- XBLA Releases for Week of 07.09.08
- Posted About 1 month ago by Coop
The Xbox Live Arcade releases this week aren’t too big when compared to last week’s Soul Calibur, but it does mark a milestone for download service. Schizoid, releasing this week, is the first game to hit the Arcade that was developed using the XNA Game Studio. A video of the title is below, and I think I might be picking it up not just for fast-paced, cooperative action, but to support the XNA Game Studio and the indy developers working on it.
I wasn't able to find a video of Golf: Tee it Up!, but from the screenshot it looks like Hot Shots Golf, which means it is probably good, but I couldn't care less. I like my golf games with shells and warppipes, thank you very much.
The full press release is below, and both titles will be available on Wednesday, July 9, 2008.
