Two new games are heading to Xbox Live Arcade this week: Arkadian Warriors (800 Microsoft Points) and GripShift (800 Microsoft Points).
Arkadian Warriors is a hack & slash with a campaign fueled by mythology. Like we’ve come to expect from the genre, there will be randomly generated dungeons and upgradeable characters. Because it wouldn’t be an XBLA game without some form of online functionality, there is also 2-player co-op (online and offline) for you and a friend to play while under the influence.
GripShift, a widely popular platforming/racing game that’s already out on the PlayStation Network and the PlayStation Portable, is now set to hit XBLA. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth for this one, as it’s got 120 single-player levels, 25 race mode tracks, and 20 deathmatch arenas. And yes, there is online multiplayer — 2-4 players, if you want to talk specifics.
Do either of these games look purchase-worthy to you, Dtoiders? Or is $10 pushing it a little too far?
GripShift officially gets a “DO WANT” from me. The video below does a decent job of showing off the game:
