New Mutant Storm, more.

In all the excitement last night, you might have been forgiven for thinking Sensible World of Soccer and DOOM were the only new games announced for Xbox Live Arcade - but of course that's not the case.

Because among the games shown were several new titles, including Assault Heroes from Vivendi, Mutant Storm Empire from PomPom, and Street Trace: NYC from Gaia Industries.

Other games on the reel included Midway's Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Defender, Konami's Contra and Gyruss, and indie titles Heavy Weapon: Atomic Tank (PopCap) and Small Arms (Gastronaut Studios).

All those titles should be released before the end of 2006, with the exception of SWOS and Gyruss, which are a bit harder to predict.

Lumines Live was also shown briefly, and as far as creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi knows, that's due out in the middle of October.

Another challenege to those who got the blackbelts in adventure mode in MS.

I never did quite get blackbelts for all the tally levels, but I'm sure looking forward to MS2. Beats GW imo.

Some odd titles coming out on Arcade but Contra should be good. When are we gonna see Nemesis or Salamander. They would be perfect IMO.

Mutant Storm was rock hard. Hardly got anywhere in that!

When is an arcade controller coming out from MS for all these games needed proper digital controls..?

ManicMinerUK, I think he wasn't explicitly referring to Mutant Storm, more the games like Pac-Man, Track & Field, SWOS, Contra et al that simply aren't meant to be played with an analogue stick.

I always thought that Mutant Storm was an underestimated game, especially with respect to Geometry Wars. It's a great, polished game, with a great range of difficulty levels. It's still my most played game on XBLA...
