XBLA Unplugged packshot & game list
If you're one of those people who refuses to play any game that doesn't come in a purty box, you're in luck. Recently unveiled cover art for Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged Vol. 1 hints that the inaugual retail compilation disc will include 5 XBLA mainstays: Geometry Wars, Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, Outpost Kaloki X, Wik: Fable of Souls and Hardwood Backgammon, plus the yet-to-be-released Texas Hold'em Poker. As Gamespot notes, the line-up could change before the Q4 release (EB lists October 2). In the meantime, lets send some link love to Dutch gaming blog Shizzle Games for wondering when Live-deprived gamers in Europe will be able to start geometry warring. Ironically, Unplugged will include a one month subscription to XBL Gold in the $40 price, making it a mocking must-buy for those who are either unable or unwilling to connect their console to the internet.
