A trailer has revealed which new Xbox Live Arcade games will be released as part of Microsoft's House Party 2012 promotion.
The trailer for the XBLA House Party, which was reportedly posted early by accident, doesn't reveal any release dates, but last year's XBLA House Party kicked off in February.
The first details on Alan Wake's American Nightmare arrived last month. The downloadable title is described as being "significantly bigger than any episode of the original game," while Remedy's head of franchise development, Oskari Häkkinen, has said it's a perfect fit for XBLA.

I was hoping for Fez, maybe in the summer of arcade now.
Still a good selection, definitely be picking up Alan Wake and I Am Alive.

Fez is deffo coming this year, Fish has assured us of this!
I too am thinking Summer of Arcade. Happy Days, XBLA = My best platfrom for Games!

Knowing Ubisoft's track record, this means I Am Alive will be coming to PSN anywhere between 1-4 months after XBL.
Prove me wrong Ubisoft.

To echo Mr Stone Cold, a big woo hoo.
Hopefully this is the beginning of a whole glut of triple A download titles that I can actually afford / complete within my fairly limited funds /time.
Anyone know if the 'human Christmas tree' Barry is making a return? Very much a marmite character...

We will see what Barry has been up too after Wake has been busy for the last wee while. How much though? I dont know. But he will certainly be making an appearance.

I think MS will make sure its at least 1 month after Live Dodo (going on past history), but dont quote me on it.

I'm basing it on From Dust, think it was part of XBL Summer of Arcade promotion then it took like 3-4 months to jump to PSN.
They need to stop with this crap, and by they I mean everyone, it just annoys the people having to wait and by the time it arrives on the "other platform" whichever it may be, they've already lost a good number of potential customers.

There seems no real reason to these, Limbo took over a year I think and Trials HD never appears at all on the PS3

Like StoneCold I cannot wait for Alan Wake, and am really looking forward to I Am Alive too (the other games do look like they might be also be worthwhile).
And I'm sure Barry will be in this; he's too much of a loveable character not to be
I still find the "flaming eye of Mordor" funny
