Xbox Live: Must Have Games 2012 schedule and prices announced
Last year’s Must Have Games promotion kicked off in May, but this year it’s coming in February. Since Microsoft announced the February lineup at CES, we’ve been left wondering over the specific release date and price of each game. Wonder no more, Windows Phone gamers, as Larry Hryb (aka Major Nelson) spilled the remaining beans on his blog today.
- Need For Speed Hot Pursuit – 02/01 - $4.99
- Bullet Asylum – 02/8 - $2.99
- Chickens Can't Fly – 02/15 - $2.99
- Splinter Cell Conviction – 02/22 - $4.99
- Toy Soldiers Boot Camp – 02/29 - $2.99
No real surprises there. The two more technically impressive games will cost $4.99, not unlike last year’s Hydro Thunder Go. I’m slightly saddened that my most-wanted game, Toy Soldiers: Boot Camp is coming last, but they all look like fine games. If you need a refresher on the portable Toy Soldiers entry, check out our interview with the game’s developers.
Which game(s) are you most looking forward to, dear readers?

Toy Soldiers is the only one I'm all that interested it, I'm sad it's coming last as well. Maybe they'll sync it up with a sale on the XBLA version, I'm dying for that game!

Still investigating that with SEGA, but it seems to be a ways off from release.
Gemini Ace says:
With Hot Pursuit coming out, EA needs to lower the price on Undercover to $2.99.
Paul Acevedo says:
Yeah, they really should.
columnbreak says:
Wasn't expecting to see Battleship in that video. I wonder if it'll be online multiplayer?

Splinter cell :) !!!!
FFugue says:
Can't wait for Need For Speed. About Splinter, from the logo I guess it's a Gameloft game. I wonder if it will be as buggy as all their other games. I'm still waiting for a fix on Brain Challenge which is almost not playable and has tons of broken achievements. I wish they would fix bugs on already released games instead of creating new games (most probably containing bugs).
