It's sort of like Summer of Arcade, but not in the Summer!
Microsoft's promotional blocks for Xbox Live Arcade games, like Summer of Arcade, always feel like a success for Microsoft and the developers that are selected to release their games within. So, you'll have to excuse our utter lack of surprise upon hearing the news that another XBLA promotional series is coming to promote four more titles outside of the Summer (or the Spring). It's called Game Feast, and it kicks off this Fall.
The last game to be released in Game Feast will be Team Meat's indie-developed platformer Super Meat Boy on October 20. Big on difficulty and style, it's one of those XBLA titles you'd expect to love just from viewing a smattering of footage.
The rest of the games to appear in Game Feast? According to Major Nelson, the block kicks off September 29 with Hydrophobia. Twisted Pixel's Comic Jumper will follow that on October 6, and the hotly-anticipated Pinball FX 2 will appear on October 13. A quick note about Pinball FX 2: it's not a game so much as a platform (and a free download as a result). If you're a proud owner of Pinbal FX 1, all your tables will import into the new game. Subsequent tables will be sold separately.
Super Meat Boy looks crude, but it's great. == TEASER ==News of Game Feast leaked out (before Microsoft had a chance to acknowledge its existence) when Team Meat blasted a radical promotional image to other blogs, showcasing the fact that its game was headlining the then-unannounced Fall series. There was also a Twitter announcement from Team Meat, too, but it seems as if that was pulled (via Joystiq).
