We got a big bunch of images from Microsoft of upcoming Xbox Live Arcade titles, to be released "in the coming weeks". Inside you'll get the chance to see Gripshift, Poker Smash, N+ and Omega Five. It's also worth mentioning that next week's Arcade title is Arkadian Warriors, which we showed images of earlier this week.

Press release:
“GripShift®” (Sidhe Interactive). Through a mix of sky-high platforming and stunt driving, “GripShift” combines automotive and puzzle-solving skills across 120 challenge levels, 25 rubber-burning racetracks and 20 deadly Deathmatch arenas. Gamers can zoom to victory with four players over Xbox LIVE or race solo, all while enjoying a customizable music experience.

· “N+” (Slick Entertainment and Metanet Software Inc.). Gamers can play as an acrobatic ninja in this addictive action-puzzle platformer. “N+” features inadvertently homicidal robots, stylish graphics, a level editor and intense multiplayer awesomeness.

· “Omega Five” (Hudson Entertainment). “Omega Five” is a next-gen, high-definition shooter with awe-inspiring graphics. Gamers can fly through dangerous 3-D environments in this side-scroller and do battle with enemies that come at them from all sides, even the background. “Omega Five” comes to Xbox LIVE Arcade this winter.

· “Poker Smash” (Void Star Creations). Players will experience a whole new puzzle game with a poker twist as “Poker Smash” delivers stunning visuals and radical features such as super-slow motion and card-blasting bombs. Gamers should get ready for a fast-paced innovative game with amazing HD graphics and a custom soundtrack that will blow them away!

Omega five and N+ looks quite hot. N+ reminds me of some PC game.

Arkadian Warriors. This had random levels and dungeons? Have to try the demo at least. So is it out then, I was at impression that it is coming next week?

N+ is gonna be so damn awesome. Was quite addicted to the PC-version and with cooperative gameplay this could very well be one of XBLA finest.

Nice looking games! I haven't played N+ but it looks to have great potential. Poker Smash is just the kind of puzzle game I wanted on Arcade and GripShift and Omega Five are hot as well. Wow.

Seriously.. that game was supposed to be out ages ago, and it's still the most interesting thing in the future arcade line up.

Does anyone else think it's a total gyp not being able to copy these to your hardrive. Thew whole purpose of arcade games is for a quick 10 minute blast every now and again. Having to get up and change disks is not worth it with these because you might as well put a proper game in.
