According to Destructoid, Microsoft will have 10 new Xbox Live Arcade titles coming our way starting in February. Exact dates and point costs haven't been announced at this point. Nonetheless, the list will surely bring child like joy to a bunch of you.



3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures: from developer Wanako Games and publisher Sierra Online, allows gamers to putt their way through 36 fun-filled holes of manic minigolf action on wild courses that range from the Old West to outer space and feature a bevy of crazy hazards and obstacles.

Alien Hominid HD: from The Behemoth features side-scrolling, hysterical cartoon action with a quirky twist and exclusive Xbox Live Arcade features.

Band of Bugs: from NinjaBee is a fast-paced tactical strategy game that offers gameplay deep enough to satisfy tactical genre fans and friendly enough to appeal to casual gamers. Creative gamers can even design their own levels with the built-in level editor, then play them solo or over Xbox Live with friends.*

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night: from Konami is a faithful version of this legendary classic updated for Xbox Live Arcade and featuring the game’s full soundtrack and memorable side-scrolling vampire-hunting action.

Catan: from developer Big Huge Games Inc. and publisher Microsoft® Game Studios, is a faithful remake of the immensely popular strategy board game.

Eets: Chowdown: from Klei Entertainment Inc. is a completely revamped version of the popular PC title of the same name. It offers new items, 120 new levels and the exclusive debut of Marsho Madness, a high-adrenaline action game in which players must keep the impending evil marshmallows at bay.

LUXOR 2: from developer MumboJumbo LLC, sets a new standard for action puzzlers as players match and shoot their way through the land of ancient Egypt.

Paperboy: from developer Digital Eclipse and publisher Midway, is a classic coin-op hit, specially enhanced for Xbox Live Arcade.

Root Beer Tapper: also from developer Digital Eclipse and publisher Midway, features fast-paced reflex action as players scramble to keep thirsty patrons happy without dropping root beer mugs in the scramble to earn the biggest tips.

Worms: from developer Team 17 Software Ltd. features armies of adorable weapon-toting worms locked in tactical combat.



Please! Oh, please! Let Castlevania, Alien Hominid HD and Paperboy come out first!

They put root beer in Tapper? Talk about dumbing down video games. I had that shit on Commodore 64 and it was straight up booze.

Actually, there are several versions of Tapper including the special "Budweiser Edition".

If they keep adding stuff like this, I may have no need for my old consoles or MAME setup. What will become of my beloved ColecoVision? *sobs*

Dude, it'd be cheaper to buy a PS1 and a copy of the original version on eBay. (And that's taking into account the fact that it's rare and sells for butt-tons.)

Worms multi-player is such a good time. It was good on the PS1, the PC, and GameCube. I can't wait for it on 360 Live.

Catan is a fun game, hopefully playing it against a 14 year old who puts his nuts on the camera will have the same level of enjoyment. Now that I think of it that might be the main draw.

Not that having a 360 isn't great, but AH can be bought for both the PS2 and Gamecube for $20 or less, if you don't have a 360 already.
