Xbox Live Arcade sails international waters

Microsoft released a long list of its Xbox Live Arcade accomplishments today. Chief among these was the list of countries now online, with residents able to access the fee-based online game marketplace from Xbox Live. In addition, Microsoft announced the availability of its 15th Xbox Live Arcade game.

While the United States has had access to the Xbox Live Arcade since the service launched six months ago, the Redmond, Washington-based software giant began bringing the service to other nations around the globe only at the beginning of May. By the end of the month, Microsoft says that it will be offering Xbox Live Arcade in 13 European countries and four Asian countries.

The company has added Atomaders to its online arcade offerings, bringing the total games available to 15. The Namco Vintage Pack, which includes a number of older arcade games, is counted as a single game. Current Xbox Live Arcade titles include Bejeweled, Super Collapse II, Namco Vintage Pack, Ricochet Lost Worlds, Hardwood Solitaire, Dangerous Mines, Fuzzee Fever, Mutant Storm, Guardian, Alien Sky, Zuma, Astro Pop, Bankshot Billiards, Feeding Frenzy, and Atomaders.

Later this month Microsoft will be adding Dino & Aliens and Orbz to this list.
