I am not sure exactly what the Xbox Live Arcade Block Party is celebrating or what block it refers to, but it will have games like Perfect Dark, which is really what matters. Other games include Scrap Metal and the ‘Game Room’, which is free by itself but individual games must be purchased.
March 3rd: Toy Soldiers – 1200 MS Points
March 10th: Scrap Metal – 1200 MS Points
March 17th: Perfect Dark – 800 MS Points
March 24th: Game Room – Free to download with individual games priced between 240 to 400 MS Points.
Those that buy all three Block Party titles and download the free Game Room application will receive 400 free MS Points. Simplifying this, if you spend 40 bucks, you will get 5 back. If you are a Xbox Live Gold subscriber, expect one free month from Microsoft if you buy and download these games.
Silver subscribers will also get free online play for these games on the weekend of March 26th to the 29th.
When Major Nelson released these details, he also mentioned that Xbox Live users may see the ‘Block Party’ instead called the ‘House Party’.
