4 New XBLA Games Coming Soon

[bapenguin]

According to Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/01/23/4-new-xbla-games-coming-soon/) and the Official XBox Site (http://www.xbox.com) we should be seeing 4 new games popping up on Live Arcade soon. Among those are Crystal Quest, Marble Blast Ultra, Feeding Frenzy, and Astro Pop.

I'm not sure how Feeding Frenzy is going to play without the trackball.

STREET FIGHTER STREET FIGHTER!!!! WHERE WHERE?!?!?! GAAAAAAH

hehe

Crystal Quest!!!!! Schweeeeet!

Now we need some multiplayer XPilot/Zap! type game.

Marble Blast, hooray! I assume this is the latest iteration of Marble Madness, correct?

Crystal Quest? I played a Crystal Quest on mac like 10-12 years ago... moved a spaceship around with the mouse to pick up crystals. Same thing?

[Inverarity]

Oh, man, I can't wait to play Crystal Quest. It's probably been ten years, but I played the old Mac version obsessively.

It's a little weird, though, that so many games in the Robotron mold keep showing up on the 360. I'm not complaining, but of all the game types to be resurrected, why that one?

Also add Jewel Quest to the list. Confirmed in Major Nelson's podcast as coming in the next couple weeks.

Still waiting on something to unseat Geometry Wars as the most-played game on my 360.

Never played Feeding Frenzy with a trackball. But on the Xbox it played VERY well. I didn't buy it though, because on the Xbox using arcade was a pain, and because there was no way I would be able to bring my purchase over to the 360. But this time things are integrated better, and I can put my stuff onto a memory card or snap off the HDD which means I could play it for at least 4-5 years. So I might buy this. If its a slightly prettier version than the Xbox one, that might be enough to swing me into an impulse buy.

Seriously seriously seriously where is Gish? Seriously.

[EGO]

Gish is awesome! They should definitely port it, so I don't have to break my fingers on the keyboard.

Also, Marble Blast has nothing to do with the original Marble Maddness, other than bein somewhat inspired.
