XBLA Block Party Games Priced And Dated
If you’ve enjoyed Microsoft’s last two Summers of Arcade, then you’re probably excited for their upcoming Block Party. Want to know how much the HD overhaul of Perfect Dark is going to run you and when it’s coming out? Read on.
March 3: Toy Soldiers (1200 MS points)
March 10: Scrap Metal (1200 MS points)
March 17: Perfect Dark (800 MS points)
March 24: Game Room (Free, but games are 240 to 400 MS points)
The Block Party also carries over the Summer of Arcade tradition of rewarding dedicated gamers who buy all the games. If you grab all the games Microsoft will credit 400 MS points back to your account and throw in a free month of Live if you’re already a Gold member.
If you don’t have a Gold account but want to give all the multiplayer goodness a try, Microsoft is setting up a trial window. From 12pm ET on March 26 to 12pm March 29, the multiplayer functions of all the Block party games will be unlocked to Silver Members.
If you want to know more about two of the big Block Party releases, check out our hands-on impressions of Perfect Dark and the Xbox Live Game Room from X10.
Anybody going to check out these Block Party releases? I’ll bring the barbeque chips and potato salad.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
