XBLA "House Party" Games Dated And Priced

The party starts on February 16. Mark it down!

Those Xbox Live Arcade “House Party” games that were revealed at CES are coming sooner than later, according to a recent Major Nelson blog post. Konami's side-scrolling throwback Hard Corps: Uprising will lead off the themed releases starting on Feb. 16, and will then be followed by...

That’s at least a couple of potential must-haves, right? The prices there are fairly tame considering the more high-profile nature of these downloadables, too. According to Nelson, Bejeweled Blitz, Beyond Good & Evil HD, and Full House Poker will all hit at an agreeable 800 MSPs. Torchlight and Hard Corps: Uprising will hit at the usual 1200 Microsoft Banana Dollars.

So, what games are you thinking about grabbing?

Is there any special deal for this "House Party" thing, like if you buy 3 games, you get some points back, or anything like that?  Or is this just some stupid branding thing?

I've never played Torchlight but the pc version seemed to get great praise so i'm really looking forward to picking it up for the 360. Actually kinda disappointed it isn't being released earlier. Not sure about the other games though.
