Microsoft's 'House Party' Titles Get Release Dates

Alan Wake's American Nightmare, I Am Alive, and more coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace between mid-February and early March.

As we all know, Microsoft has a real fondness for compartmentalizing its bigger swaths of Xbox Live Arcade releases into neat, tidy promotions that have catchy names. In the early goings of the year, the company has taken to placing its collection of big titles under the House Party banner, a moniker that implies a great deal of ruckus and tomfoolery, probably hilarious chaos and destruction, and also possibly the inclusion of Kid & Play.

Who wants to party?

Recently, Microsoft announced that titles like Warp, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, and I Am Alive would be included in this year's House Party promotion. Today, Microsoft announced the prices and exact release dates of the four titles flying the House Party flag. They are...

While this makes it the third year in a row that Kid & Play were tragically left on the sidelines for the promotion, we can all take comfort that these are big, interesting games lots of us probably want to play, and that somewhere out there, Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin are probably having big, ridiculous Pajama Jammy Jams that Microsoft totally isn't invited to.

What the fuck is this? When I read the title I honestly thought that Microsoft was going to develop a game based on the House Party Series. I was like, "they better based it off the first two movies. Didn't really care for the third movie, and that straight-to-video third sequel that had nothing to do with the original House Party can go to hell."
 
Then like two seconds later I immediately became disappointed because I realized that I don't own a 360. "First Hydro Thunder, and now House Party? Microsoft can suck it" I said. But in a way, I'm really glad this has nothing to do with House Party. Though, I think it's really stupid that Microsoft is trying to trick the House Party fan base into falling for this.
