XBox Live Arcade Compilation Headed to the UK

Well, it’s official. An XBox Live Arcade compilation will be headed for the UK, which means that people might just end up paying for that copy of Texas Hold’Em Poker.

As we mentioned earlier, XBLA Unplugged Vol. 1 was definitely headed to the US market, but they weren’t sure if the compilation would end up elsewhere. Luckily, Eurogamer got wind of the news. The compilation is expected to come out on September 15 for anywhere between £20-25 (around $38-48).

The six games included in this compilation will be Wik: Fable of Souls, Outpost Kaloki X, the ever-addicting Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, Hardwood Backgammon (funny how there’s no actual wood), Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, and Texas Hold ‘Em. Some very good casual games right there.

There’s only one thing you can really gripe about with the setup. If you got your poker fix for free during the 48-hour free download session for Texas Hold’Em, it’s kinda like paying for a copy of the same game. Otherwise, it’s a very convenient way to get a lot of casual games without the hassle of having to earn points and download games. Too bad there isn’t any Pac-Man though.
