Let's see if any of them interest you

Microsoft has released a trailer for their upcoming House Party promotion for the Xbox LIVE Arcade. For those of you unfamiliar with it, It's the Winter-time variant of Microsoft's "Summer of Arcade" during which several top-level XBLA titles are released.

Last year brought us Hard Corps: Uprising, Bejeweled Blitz LIVE, http://www.trueachievements.com/Beyond-Good--Evil-HD-xb....htm, Torchlight, and Full House Poker. Curious as to what this year will bring? Here's a handy video to give you the details:

For those of you who can't watch, this year's featured titles will be Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Warp, Nexuiz, and I Am Alive. Each game link will bring you to all the news we have on those titles through now.

No specific dates have been announced for this promotion, but if it's anything like last year's, you can expect it to run from mid-February through mid-March.

So which of these games, if any, will you be picking up?

I don't think I need to tell you which one I'm waiting for. But Warp and I Am Alive interest me too.

Was it just me using selective vision, or was 90% of that party female?

Microsoft sure does know how to get the majority of gamers' attention.

Well, I didn't think last year's House Party was any good and yet I've ended up owning 4 of them, so the fact I reckon this list is even better may mean I'm quite poor very soon!

I'll definitely be getting Alan Wake, but I'm liking the look of I Am Alive as well. Definitely will give the other three a demo at least!

I am alive will take priority, then Alan Wake. As far Warp/Nexuiz...meh. I'll try the trial as I always do but I don't expect much.
