According to this article on Gamasutra Midway is looking at moving some more of there properties to xbla at some point this year. While it’s unknown at this point whether or not this means we’ll be seeing Mortal Kombat hit the arcade, one can bet that if Street fighter does well, that MK will be soon behind it.
Let’s just hope that they take the time to do things right!

It’s a couple of weeks old news now, but it seems that Pat Willson, one of the developers for Marble Blast Ultra has had enough of IGN’s constant jabs at his game and has decided to let off a little steam on his Blog
Personally if the copy of the game they reviewed wasn’t the final copy then good on him for telling them off.

So as is a well known fact now there are two achievements that cannot be reached in both Outpost Kaloki X and Hardwood Hearts. The Achievements are: Outpost Kaloki X

• Eight-Port Master
• Adventure Story Gold

Hardwood Hearts

• The Prankster
• Black Widow Exterminator

Both games have cause gamers to flock to the developers board demanding that things be set right, this is where things differ… Let me pause it here and state for the record that I do own both games and while I do enjoy Hearts, Kaloki is one of my favorite games available for the 360. The developer for Kaloki is NinjaBee. The have been very tight lipped about a fix (to the point of never even saying that there would be one) and have gone on to paint the picture that the reason they aren’t saying anything is that Microsoft won’t let them. This is exactly what you would expect from a developer and what you would expect from Microsoft. Until… Silver Creek Entertainment is the company that has put out Hearts, and they have been, in stark contrast, extremely open about a fix, stating a couple times a day what the status is and what exactly it will contain. All in all you have to hand it to Silver Creek for being so open about it. My guess, based on the way ninjabee is going about this, is that there will never be a fix for Kaloki, mostly due to the game not being set up to allow it. More info as it comes in…

It sure seems that this is the case after one of the Moderators at Team 17 posted the following in there forms:

Add another one to the list of games that have been quietly anounced for release in Spring 2006. This time it’s a bunch of ex-UBI employees (the company name is load inc.) and the game is Mad Tracks.

It seems that Stainless Games is working on next is NovaDrome a game described as: On a planet ruled by the sadistic NovaLords, human beings secretly harvested from Earth are put in deadly gladitorial racing combat where the chances of survival are near impossible … it’s not good entertainment if everybody gets out alive! But you are determined to win your freedom by racing one of 26 vehicles in over 90 racing stages across 5 blisteringl-paced events of death and excitement. Keep your vehicle upgraded, leave no gaps for your opponents, and put on a good show! It’s looking like a spring 2006 release (but then again what for XBLA isn’t these days).

It will certainly take some time, but I’m trying to set up the site now
