Mad Tracks still on for XBLA

Just not in the current batch.

French developer Load, Inc. has reiterated that its toy car racer Mad Tracks is on its way to Xbox Live Arcade, despite the fact it wasn't listed on Microsoft's ten new Live Arcade games list yesterday. What's more, the PC version - available from Load's website - has now hit 100,000 sales.

"The game has more success than we expected," says Bertrand Carre, who said a 1.3 patch with added challenges might be on the cards soon. The Xbox Live Arcade version is "set to add specific features and should be out soon".

In the meantime, Load is offering the game at a discount. It only costs US$ 14.99, but apparently if you use the code "Get mad" when you buy it, you'll get another 20 percent off. To try out Mad Tracks, you can always download a demo. Everything's detailed on Loadinc.net.
