Xbox LIVE Arcade and Windows Phone game promos announced

11 January 2012

Elsewhere, there’s a bunch of ‘Must Have Games’ for Windows Phone being launched, starting “early February” and featuring:

  • BulletAsylum (Microsoft Game Studios)
  • Chickens Can’t Fly (Microsoft Game Studios)
  • Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (EA)
  • Splinter Cell Conviction (Gameloft)
  • Toy Soldiers: Boot Camp (Microsoft Game Studios)
