Alright, this is a few days old but I thought I should post this anyways. This past Wednesday July 12th, Microsoft announced a 5 week promotion for the xbox live arcade called Xbox live arcade wednesdays. As part of the promotion, Microsoft will be releasing a new game for the xbox live arcade every wednesday for 5 weeks. Here is the lineup of games and the dates that they will be released:

Frogger - July 12th
Cloning Clyde - July 19th
Galaga - July 26th
Street Fighter II - August 3rd
Pac-Man - August 9th

My opinion:
I have never heard of the game Cloning Clyde, but the lineup looks pretty good nonetheless. I will definately be purchasing at least Galaga and Street Fighter. I might end up buying Cloning Clyde if I like the demo enough but I don't have enough cash to buy more than that. I will most certainly play the hell out of the frogger and Pac-Man demos too. My question is: Where's Mortal Kombat? I heard that they were making an arcade cersion of that too. Oh well, I'll have to play street fighter until I hear more. As of now I know that frogger costs 400 ms points while Street Fighter will cost 800 points. I suspect that Galaga and Pac-Man will also be 400 points but that is just a guess. I'm pretty excited about this promotion because they haven't really released that many games for the xbox live arcade and hopefully this batch of titles can grab some playing time.
