Oh, PR is a tricky thing. Sneaky even. Microsoft sent us a press release earlier today, letting us in on the next ten Xbox Live Arcade games. Naturally, we were overjoyed to hear that a torrent of new and fun content was headed for our favorite service. Little did we know that the press release was really a smoke screen designed to blind us from the horrible truth: there will be no Live Arcade release tomorrow. 360 Fanboy tipster, Kid Pyrrhic, is responsible for sniffing out the nefarious plot. Noticing a line in the press release that read, "Although a game may not be launched every week ...," he stuck it to the man and asked Gamerscore Blog if that meant we wouldn't have a new game this week. John Porcaro himself emerged from his filthy den of lies to confirm, "As a matter of fact, there is no game tomorrow..."You heard it, folks. No game tomorrow.
[Thanks, Kid Pyrrhic. Sorry, John]

What is up w/ this so called arcade.... It plain ole Sucks!! I dunno why they put out these old school games that I've already bought 10X. Lets get some user created games. Some New Arcade Games!! We Want NEW!!! Not some Rehashed games from the 80's.
ALSO, Whats up w/ the MP... Where is all the User Created Stuff that Peter Moore went on saying before launch!!! "My grandmother can make & Sell a shirt for tony hawks game"
Well Peter W T F? As the Years pass by... Maybe he meant for the Xbox720!!!

Correct Miguel... only Lumines Live stuff...
I'm always looking forward to the newest arcade releases... M$ is letting me down. They miss so many weeks, they should release 2-3 games on some Wednesdays, or even make Wednesday and another day XBLA days

Well I never saw that coming...
XBLA as a platform is dead. If you can't ship reasonably priced games on a regular basis something is wrong. I've been discovering free PC flash-based games instead and have been pleasantly surprised what my old PC can do.

The XBLA platform has been sucking for a while. I've had a blast with Gears, but it's running out of steam.
I don't know how they expect to ride the system on just one title at a time.
You need VARIETY, and freakin QUANTITY. There hasn't been a decent release on XBLA for awhile now. And the new batch of 10 looks like a bunch of generic mush.
I go to the Live marketplace and look for demos and new release trailers.. and I see NOTHING. They need to put some new stuff out. NOW.
