Hardwood Xbox Live Arcade games released

Thursday saw the release of three new Xbox Live Arcade games for the Xbox 360. Hardwood Backgammon, Hardwood Hearts, and Hardwood Spades are now available via the Xbox Live Marketplace. Each costs 400 Xbox Live Marketplace points, which converts to around $5 in real-world money, and requires a hard-drive-enabled 360 console to play.

The release of the Hardwood tabletop trio means that only three more of the initial "launch window" Xbox Live Arcade games remain unavailable: Marble Blast Ultra, Robotron: 2084, and Wik: Fable of Souls. All are scheduled to be released sometime this month.
