By Chienne - Thu Feb 21, 2008 11:14am
It's not all big-name titles and huge budgets that are set to rock the Xbox 360 this year. Microsoft also unveiled a collection of smaller titles that will be launched on Xbox Live Arcade this year.
Xbox Live Arcade is the premier digital distribution destination for high-def, original and classic games - with more than 116 titles to choose from, there's something for everyone. It's also a great place to find new and independent titles, as there are more than 25 indie studios creating the original titles that make up more than a quarter of the games library. Microsoft took the time to highlight a sample of the games launching on Xbox Live Arcade in the near future.
Of course, these aren't all the games you'll be able to play on XBLA in 2008, this is a mere sample - a taste of what's to come... over the course of the year, we'll make sure we keep you updated about what else is around - but in the meantime, why not go fire up your Xbox 360 and check it all out for yourself!
