Microsoft appears to be preparing three more games for the budget Xbox Live Arcade Hits range.
Halved in price to 400 MS Points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80) will be Worms, Feeding Frenzy and Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, according to the list on the official US Xbox website (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/arcadehits/default.htm).
However, we've had a scout around the Live service and can find no mention of the games in the XBLA Hits section.
Of the three, Worms will attract the most attention. This version recycles the classical formula of old, which, if you can stomach it, still holds plenty of local head-to-head charm. Head over to our Worms XBLA review (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=74092) for more.
Reviews of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 suggest a faithful port with online battles, while critiques of Feeding Frenzy paint a dismal picture.
Our picks of the rest of the Xbox Live Arcade Hits are DOOM, Marble Blast Ultra, and Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords.
All, except the latter, cost 400 Microsoft Points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80). Puzzle Quest began at a higher price point, and therefore halves to 800 MS Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).
We've asked Microsoft for further clarification on dates.
