This Wednesday you can expect to see some new blood on Xbox Live Arcade in the form of GripShift and Arkadian Warriors. GripShift, from Sidhe Interactive, was released on he PlayStation Portable last year and on the PlayStation Network a few months ago. It's a somewhat odd mix of puzzle solving and stunt driving, that received middling reviews in the press. Across the game's four worlds there are 25 tracks, 120 levels and 20 deathmatch arenas. Sierra's Arkadian Warriors, on the other hand, is a completely new affair. It's an old school dungeon runner game, featuring all the usual stuff--levelling up, swordplay, magic, upgrades and so on. Multiple players can pick up a weapon, be it on the same console or over Xbox Live. Sierra claims that all dungeons will be randomly generated, which could prove either a gameplay positive or negative.
Both of these games will be available on Xbox Live tomorrow at 9AM GMT, at the cost of 800 Microsoft points.
