Ticket to Ride on XBLA tomorrow News
Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell
As if Elements of Destruction, Sea Life Safari and Frogger 2 weren't enough for you, Microsoft is back with another Xbox Live Arcade duo tomorrow, 25th June.
As we already know, the first game is Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm - from SEGA and Stainless Games - which will cost 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).
Based on Flash cartoons and soaked in blood and violence, the idea is to rescue trapped friends from locations like a mineshaft, sweet factory and museum.
Meanwhile, going up against it will be Ticket to Ride from Next Level Games, which is another board-game adaptation, which sees players trying to reach their destination by drawing cards and claiming routes.
It too will cost 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60) and include four-player local and six-player online play. Both games also promise the requisite leaderboards, 12 unlockable Achievements for a total of 200 gamerpoints, and a demo version.
Look out for our reviews of both in due course.

Meh! Love ticket to ride, but much prefer playing it sat round a table with friends instead of on a screen anyday. For starters you can't keep your cards secret unless everyone closes their eyes when it's not their turn which given the average turn in T2R is about 5 seconds that's really not practicle.

Love Ticket to Ride but have to agree - how would you keep your destination tickets secret on local play? That is crucial to the strategy of the game!

Ticket to Ride's been getting a lot of really positive previews on 1up, I'll definetly check it out as I could do with a really good boardgame on Xbox again.

Hey Dizzy, good plan but my Gold Live membership is currently out of action, and I simply don't play online enough at the moment to warrant upgrading it again. Almost tempted to for Civ Rev, although i'm so addicted to single player that I think holding out would be the best option!

Ticket to ride: Europe is a much better game. It has the same elements with more complexity giving it greater depth. I am about to give my TTR to a friend because I do not use it any more. TTR:E is my first choice now when playing this series.
