Microsoft atones for last week’s Live Arcade sin with … nothing

I’ll admit it. Last week, I was pretty harsh on New Rally X. It’s truly a classic arcade title, and one that not only compliments the existing Xbox Live Arcade library, but enhances it with an arcade experience suitable for the casual gaming audience Microsoft has so desperately been trying to reach.

Wait, no. Screw that. It still totally sucks.

But this week, Microsoft have taken it a step further by deciding to just not release anything at all. Despite the fact that there are zero Xbox 360 titles coming out this week, and it is clearly an excellent opportunity to release a solid Live Arcade game (Worms, anyone?), there’s nothing new on Live Arcade today. Didn’t I specifically ask for Castle Crashers? Is no one listening to me around here?

But all is not lost, because the trailer we’ve all been waiting for is here — “Battlestations: Midway Naval Power Trailer” has made its way to the Xbox Live Marketplace. And not a moment too soon, because I needed something to pull me away from Urban Champion .
