Besides the news about Double Dragon, Microsoft sent over some sound bites about six games coming to Xbox Live Arcade later this year.

“Mad Tracks.” This 3-D racing party game from Load Inc. and D3Publisher recalls all the fun of playing with toy cars from childhood. Up to four players can race micro cars in a variety of gameplay modes in familiar settings such as a living room, a restaurant and a toy store.

 

 “Rush’n Attack.” Also known as “Green Beret,” from Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., this is a faithful next-generation update of this classic coin-op arcade title where the player assumes the role of a special forces agent sent behind enemy lines to infiltrate an enemy military complex and free captured prisoners of war.

 

 “Soltrio Solitaire.” From Silver Creek Entertainment, this is a collection of 18 different solitaire games, offering co-op and competitive two-player solitaire game modes.

 

 “Spyglass Board Games.” From Strange Flavour Ltd. and Freeverse, this offers classic versions of the world’s most beloved board games, including chess, checkers, mancala and reversi, as well as the ability to enjoy video chat with friends via the Xbox LIVE Vision camera.

 

 “Street Trace: NYC.” This is a hover board racing and arena battle game from Gaia Industries Inc. set against the urban wasteland of future New York City. Make your mark on the leaderboards in intense eight-player action over Xbox LIVE, or battle at home through split-screen or single-player tournaments.

 

 “Undertow.” This is a fast-paced action shooter from Chair Entertainment Group that thrusts players underwater as they battle for control of the oceans, and features a robust single player/co-op campaign and up to 16-player multiplayer action over Xbox LIVE.

 

Another Konami classic that isn’t in this list, but is coming to Xbox Live Arcade is Super Contra. Like the other six games Super Contra doesn’t have a release date yet. Mad Tracks looks like an interesting title because of the rollercoaster track design and I’m partial to Street Trace: NYC since it has hover boarding in it. I’m not so sure about Soltrio Solitaire, will gamers really buy it? There are so many freeware programs for Solitaire that people can download and play for free.
