Trials Evolution, Minecraft XBLA dated and priced in 'Arcade Next' promotion
Microsoft has announced the "Arcade Next" promotion, and in the process spilled release dates and prices for Trials Evolution, Bloodforge, Fable Heroes, and Minecraft.
You may remember about a week ago when Microsoft announced it would be raising the Gamerscore cap on Xbox Live Arcade games. The company is marking that event by promoting four high-profile Xbox Live Arcade titles, dubbing them collectively "Arcade Next."
The promotion kicks off on April 18 with Trials Evolution for $15. After that comes Bloodforge ($15) on April 25, Fable Heroes ($10) on May 2, and finally Minecraft ($20) on May 9.
Microsoft notes that the increased Gamerscore begins in April, so some Arcade titles might beat Trials Evolution to the punch for being the first. Also, it's important to note that unlike many of Microsoft's seasonal promotions, this one doesn't have any bonus points or a free game attached to it, so the whole "Arcade Next" moniker is just a way of highlighting some anticipated games.

Sweet! Trials and Minecraft are on my must have list! Can't wait! It will be very interesting how they handle the updates of Minecraft. Hopefully they have figured out a way to share maps, similar to the PC. Maybe a similar approach to Little Big Planet on the PS3. Regardless, I'm picking it up day one because it's a great game and great support for the creator.
