Ticket to Ride, Happy Tree Friends Arrive on XBLA This Wednesday

Jun 23, 2008 11:40am CST tags: Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm, Ticket to Ride, XBLA
This week's roundup of titles on the Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade downloadable gaming platform includes Next Level Games' Ticket to Ride and Stainless Games' Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm, Microsoft announced today.

A digital version of the award-winning tabletop board game, Ticket to Ride tasks players with building a railroad network across the countryside. The game supports multiplayer for up to four users on a single console, and up to five players via Xbox Live.

Based on Mondo Media's cute yet disturbingly violent animated Flash series Happy Tree Friends, False Alarm pits cuddly creatures against brutally dangerous environments that must be successfully navigated to avoid an untimely—and possibly adorable—demise.

Both games are priced at 800 Microsoft Points ($10) per download, and will be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace this Wednesday, June 25.

Listings at the German game ratings board USK and American games rating board ESRB have revealed several previously unknown titles for the Xbox 360's online Xbox Live Arcade, Xbox 360 Fanboy reports.

Among the listings are a downloadable version of the award-winning board game Ticket to Ride, in which players compete to build a railroad network across the countryside.

The title marks the latest addition to the fledgling Xbox Live Arcade board game genre, which includes titles such as Big Huge Games' Settlers of Catan and Sierra Online's Carcassonne.

"I've been assured that Ticket to Ride is absolutely badass," said Shacknews staffer Chris Faylor. "You might not know this, but I'm a board game connoisseur of sorts."

In addition to the board game, the listings revealed a golf game, entitled Golf: Tee it Up!, and an Xbox Live Arcade version of the popular card game Gin Rummy.
