Jeff Minter working on XBLA title

It seems that Jeff Minter, the creator of the 360's Music visualizer and the fantastic Tempest series, is working hard on an XBLA title. If you would like to read more about this title as well as look at some of the cool results of his "nice p-system generator to use for the explosions and stuff and initial tests of that being *really* nice" check out his blog here

Video of Street Fighter II surfaces

It seems that the guys from XboxZone.com.au have posted a video of the Street Fighter II presentation made last week in Australia. The link to it is here. If you listen carefully the presenter talks about how it's going to be one of the next three games to be released (We can only guess as to what the others will be, but my guess is two of Uno, Texas Hold'em, and Cloning Clyde). Not the best of quality recordings, but does show us what to expect.

UPDATE: there's also a video of the Cloning Clyde presentation here (Thanks qwerty)

Uno to support XBox 360 Camera

According to this video on Gear Live (check it out soon as I'm sure it'll be taken down any moment now), it looks like Uno will be the first game to support the XBox 360 Camera.

The one disapointing thing that the video shows though is that Texas Hold'em, a game that would have more to gain from it, doesn't support it.

Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting page up on XBox.com

So it seems that MS has finally decided to update there list of XBLA games to include Street Fighter. Currently it's completely devoid of any information, but at least it's another step on the (long) road to it's release.

Interestingly enough, no other game was added, not even Uno
