18 Xbox Live Arcade titles revealed [update 1]

Here's a quick n' dirty breakdown of the 18 Xbox Live Arcade games that were playable at Microsoft's after (media breifing) party:

• Cloning Clyde - indie platformer
  

• Contra - arcade port; Konami code works; diagonal shooting was spotty
  

• Defender - arcade port
  

• Frogger - arcade port

• Galaga - arcade port

• Heavy Weapon - indie side-scrolling tank shooter
  

• Lumines Live - like PSP version, but with downloadable videos
  

• Mutant Storm Empire - indie sequel with upgraded visuals; continuous levels; room-to-room (a la Smash TV)
  

• Pac-Man - arcade port

• RoboBlitz - indie title using Unreal Engine 3; build was unplayable unbearable
  

• Scramble - arcade port

• Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting - arcade port; controls (on gamepad) were inconsistent
  

• Small Arms - indie Smash Bros. ripoff
  

• Texas Hold 'Em - poker (without real money)
  

• Time Pilot - arcade port

• Totemball - indie camera-controlled musical platform adventure

• Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 - arcade port

• Uno - card game

A Microsoft representative told us that these titles should be available by the holiday season, with some seeing summer/fall releases. Street Fighter, Texas Hold 'Em, and Uno will represent the next available batch of XBL Arcade games and should be released in the coming weeks.

Update: Uno is (available on) Live! [Thanks, Dan]
