Wednesday's Xbox Live Arcade Game Releases (7/2/08) PDF Print E-mail

The soul still burns with today's Xbox LIVE Arcade release of the SEGA Dreamcast (and arcade) fighting game SoulCalibur. SoulCalibur is now available from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points ($10). SoulCalibur has long sat on Gamerankings.com's top 10 list. See how it holds up nearly 10 years later. Play against a friend (locally, not online). SoulCalibur does get several enhancements this time around: 60 leaderboards and 1080p HD support. SoulCalibur is one of my best memories of the SEGA Dreamcast era, a steal at $10.

See the Soulcalibur page on Xbox.com.

In addition to the release of SoulCalibur, there's a Wits & Wagers expansion pack, adding 280 new questions for 320 Microsoft Points ($4).
