Original Post:
MS just announced that Worms 2: Armageddon and The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match will be this week's Live arcade titles. Both games will be priced at 800 MS Pesos ($10) each.

I'm looking forward to Worms 2. Alot of content was left out of the earlier Worms release for Live Arcade because of the file size limits at that time. Now that those are effectively gone, this should be a nice full-sized Worms title. It's just a shame that this is likely coming a week before Battlefield 1943. I'll likely be saving my MS Pesos for that.

edit: Also, MS's game programming game, Kodu is supposed to be released at some point this week as well. Don't know if it will be part of the Live Arcade Wednesday release. But I heard it will cost only 400 MS Pesos ($5).

I will definatly be grabbing Worms 2. I loved the first one and still play it with friends.

I'll get King of Fighters 98: UM for sure. Its been awhile since I've played a KOF game (I think 2000 was the last one).

Worms is SOOOOOO tempting.

Kodu is a Xbox Indie Games (or whatever it's called now). They said they are putting it through peer review like every other game, but they're targeting a release on Tuesday.

Kodu is now available.

EDIT: I'm getting an error when trying to queue up the demo.

Must be an Xbox Live/Marketplace hiccup

Yeah because a quick check at MajorNelson.com and the Xbox.com forums makes it sound like nobody is having a problem downloading from their 360.

Anyone play with Kodu yet? I downloaded it last night and it looks like it could be fun... It really is a form of a programming language, very graphical and intuitive.
