Exactly.

If full titles that can take weeks to complete are released at the same time, why can't XBLA titles be the same?

Contrary to what the recently deceased EB Games page indicated, the newly revealed Xbox Live Arcade Stick from Mad Catz will actually retail for $49.99 and will come bundled with extras. Several full Live Arcade games are to be included with the purchase, simultaneously enhancing the stick's value and implying that someone working for the prolific peripheral producer does, in fact, have a functioning brain. We're rather fond of those.

The leaked (and still very small) sales sheet was promptly yanked because Mad Catz is still gripped by the process of finalizing which games they'll be tossing in. If we weren't barred entry from metaphorical casinos, we'd place our brightly colored chips on Frogger, Galaga and Pac-Man being the survivors of a rigorous selection process. It's unclear as to what kind of an endorsement would make the Arcade Stick itself survive the retail world, though a sticker reading "Not the standard D-pad!" would probably suffice.

Wow. What a piece of shit.

Yeah that thing looks awful.

So apparently Castlevania: SOTN is going to be coming to Arcade. This is pretty sweet news as the game itself retails for $25 used and is difficult to find. This comes from the recent EGM and does not give a date on when we will be able to play as our favorite vampire hunter on our 360.

Under a rock I guess. Maybe I do recall hearing about this, but for some reason overlooked it. Oh well, just ignore my ignorant ass.

Yeah, I don't want to hear crap about companies not being able to make their own converters on the 360. It wouldn't be something that would be common in America, but I think this goes ahead and proves it can be done, if, at nothing else, it would be a little expensive.

Let's see-

July 11- Prey
July 12- Chromehounds
July18- NCAA Football 07
August9- Dead Rising
August 16- Ninety Nine Nights
August 22- Madden 07

Looks like a release per week for me, barring the Prey/Chromehounds thing. Of course,if you look one week ahead the pattern falls apart completely.

When does Texas Hold 'em come out? And will it teach me to play poker? Because I don't know.
