: 'Geometry Wars 2', 'Galaga Legions', 'Banjo 1', 'Portal: Still Alive', 'UNO Rush', 'South Park' And So Much More Announced For Xbox Live Arcade

I was right! During the Microsoft press conference, they announced a whole bunch of new games!

'Geometry Wars 2' is a new, wave based game which includes 4 player multiplayer! Coming next month!

'Galaga Legions' is a new game from the creators of Pac Man CE! Liked Space Invaders Extreme? This looks very much like it! Coming next month!

They announced that the original 'Banjo for XBLA'! Coming this year!

They announced 'Portal: Still Alive' will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade! Bigger download sizes? Hell yeah!

'South Park'! Nothing else known! After Acclaim screwed up their South Park games I heard they were never going to do another one! So that's good news!

Along with the new avatar system, the Xbox Live Arcade will now include '100 to 1' - a place to use your avatars and play in real games with real prizes, along with Xbox Trivia

And an entirely new interface! People may be able to FIND new XBLA titles now!

And UNO Rush! A new UNO game which allows players to jump right in with new friends!

[The only problem was the super awesome game I know about wasn't mentioned!! Bah! Not even a montage?!]

Some other games also shown - appeared to all be XNA titles. Either way, I grabbed the footage! Watch it above!

Damn you greedy bastards, damn you! I'm just a student, I can't afford all this goodness!

Super awesome game? C'mon Rlan, spill the beans! That NDA's just a paper!
